The Indian Premier League is the largest professional cricket league in the world. The IPL has been held every year since 2008 and follows the T20 style of competition, with only 20 rounds per side. The IPL’s short format results in short but engaging games that provide plenty of entertainment.

Most of the excitement in cricket comes from the hitters, especially when they take the ball to the stands for a six. However, the opening part of a cricket match is the most challenging part for pitchers. Opposing pitchers are very fresh and focused. Throwers need some time to assess the ground and calm down. However, in IPL, time is of the essence. Players don’t have the luxury of a rating process. They must either start scoring immediately or leave while trying. There is no in between.

Therefore, the opening of the IPL has a restrictive rule in what is known as the game of power. It helps hitters score early and increases the probability of their team winning. So now that you know the importance of opening games in IPL, let’s take a look at the teams with the highest powerplay scores in IPL history. But first let’s check what are the techniques behind powerplay in IPL.

What is Powerplay in IPL?

  • The first six passes in the turns are power passes.
  • Powerplay is simply a set of restrictions for the bowling team.
  • In a power match, only two athletes are allowed outside the circle for 30 yards.

Powerplay entices batters to take risks and hit big shots without worrying about running away. Throwers can also benefit from the game of power when pitchers get too reckless. Most of the teams with a higher power play total will win the match.
