Batting records -- Highest individual score
The Indian Premier League is a Twenty20 (T20) competition in men's cricket. Organised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the tournament has taken place every year since it was first held in 2008. Several teams went in and out of the tournament at different years, while the names of some teams were changed. The tournament format has always been a round-robin format, where each team plays with each other team twice, each match in either of the team's homeground. Indian batsman Virat Kohli holds the record for the most runs made in the IPL, since its beginning in 2008. Chris Gayle dominates the spot for scoring the highest-individual score in a match with 175 runs off 66 balls and 128 off 62 balls, the highest amount of overall 6's in the league and also the highest number of 6's in a match, fastest century, fastest fifty, highest amount of runs in a series as well as the most 100's and the highest Man of the Match awards. Lasith Malinga took the highest number of wickets, and the highest number of 4-wicket hauls while also holding the records for being one among the players with the most dot balls bowled and the most maiden overs. MS Dhoni, Dinesh Karthik and Robin Uthappa dominate the Wicket-keeping records, all 3 being among the top 5 players of most stumps and most catches. The most overall catches by any fielder is 102 catches by the batsman Suresh Raina. Royal Challengers Bangalore has scored the highest runs in a match with an astounding score of 263-5 against Pune Warriors India in 2013, the same match in which Gayle hit his record score for a match in IPL, and also the record for the highest number of 6's in an innings. This is also the second highest innings total by any team in a T20 match. The second record is also set by RCB against Gujarat Lions, having scored 248-5.
