Highest Individual Scores at Eden Gardens in IPL

25 May 2022. IPL Eliminator. Lose and go home. Faf du Plessis out for a golden duck in the first over. RCB was in trouble immediately. Then Rajat Patidar walked in.

Best Bowling Figures at Eden Gardens in IPL

15 April 2012. Sunil Narine’s first IPL season. Eden Gardens. That spell was an early sign of why Narine would later rank among the top IPL spin bowlers . In a format built for batters, Narine bowled four overs and took five wickets for 19 runs. Kings XI Punjab were restricted to 134/9.

Narine dismissed Adam Gilchrist, Shaun Marsh, David Hussey, Paras Dogra, and Praveen Kumar. His figures read 4-0-19-5. His economy was 4.75 in a T20 game. The brutal irony? KKR lost by 2 runs despite that spell. One of the great individual performances in a losing side in IPL history.  Over a decade later, no bowler has bettered those figures at this venue. IPL venue records still list Narine’s 5/19 as the best IPL bowling figures at Eden Gardens.

Lowest Team Total at Eden Gardens in IPL

23 April 2017. KKR vs RCB. Eden Gardens. KKR posted a modest 131 all out. RCB needed 132 to win — with Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, and AB de Villiers in their lineup.

RCB were bowled out for 49 in 9.4 overs. Not one batter reached double figures. Colin de Grandhomme took 3/4, Chris Woakes took 3/6, and Nathan Coulter-Nile took 3/21. KKR’s pace trio dismantled one of the most celebrated batting lineups in IPL history in under 10 overs. This is still the lowest score in the entire history of the IPL — not just at Eden Gardens. At a ground famous for big scores, it remains the most shocking result.

Highest Successful Chase at Eden Gardens in IPL

A successful chase simply means: the team batting second reaches the target before running out of wickets. The highest successful chase at Eden Gardens — and one of the greatest in all of T20 cricket — is PBKS scoring 262/2 in 18.4 overs against KKR on 26 April 2024.

Jonny Bairstow’s 108 off 48 balls* was the engine. Shashank Singh’s 68 off 28 balls* finished the job. Together they made chasing 262 look manageable. It was not. It was extraordinary.
