IPL 2009: Highest Individual Scores

Leave a Comment
The following is the list of top five individual scores in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2009. The short format of the game provides an opportunity for batsman to play match-winning knocks, like Brendon McCullum's 150+ score in the opening game of IPL 2008. While much have been said about the Twenty20 game as youngsters paradise, we had seen some solid performances from old warhorses, like Sachin Tendulkar, Matthew Hayden and Rahul Dravid. I will be updating this list regularly during the progress of IPL 2009.

  1. 105* - AB de Villiers, Delhi Daredevils against Chennai Super Kings

  2. 98 - Suresh Raina, Chennai Super Kings against Rajasthan Royals

  3. 89 - Matthew Hayden, Chennai Super Kings against Kings XI Punjab

  4. 84* - Brendon McCullum, Kolkata Knight Riders against Royal Challengers Bangalore

  5. 84 - Ravi Bopara, Kings XI Punjab against Royal Challengers Bangalore
