As Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) gear up for a high-stakes IPL 2024 showdown at Bengaluru’s Chinnaswamy Stadium, the spotlight isn’t just on playoff permutations but also on a slew of looming personal milestones. 

From Virat Kohli’s quest to dethrone Rohit Sharma in the six-hitting charts to Prabhsimran Singh’s bid for IPL batting landmarks, the match promises a blend of history-making feats and cutthroat competition. Let's take a look at the list of records ahead of the clash.

1. Shreyas Iyer (3 catches to 100 in T20s)

Shreyas Iyer is on the cusp of claiming 100 catches in T20 cricket. Known for his sharp reflexes in the slips and outfield, the ex-Kolkata Knight Riders skipper currently has 97 catches across 229 T20 matches. With PBKS in shining form, Iyer could hit the mark against RCB.

2. Prabhsimran Singh (1 four to 100 IPL fours & 2 sixes to 50 IPL sixes)

Punjab Kings’ explosive opener Prabhsimran Singh is inching closer to dual IPL milestones. The 23-year-old, with 99 fours and 48 sixes, needs just one boundary to enter the 100-fours club and two maximums to reach 50 IPL sixes. His fearless approach at the top, highlighted by a strike rate of 166.33 this IPL, makes these milestones imminent.

3. Marcus Stoinis (3 sixes to 100 IPL sixes)

Marcus Stoinis, Punjab Kings' all-rounder, is three sixes away from joining the elite 100-sixes club in the IPL. With 97 maximums in 101 matches, his brute force in death overs has been pivotal. Stoinis’ ability to clear the ropes under pressure, makes this milestone a formality. Expect fireworks as he eyes the mark against RCB.

4. Phil Salt (1 four to 100 IPL fours & 3 sixes to 50 IPL sixes)

RCB’s Phil Salt is on the verge of twin IPL feats. The England wicketkeeper-batter, with 99 fours and 47 sixes, needs one boundary and three maximums to cross 100 fours and 50 sixes. Salt’s aggressive starts (strike rate 185.71 this season) have been key for RCB, and these milestones would further validate his reputation as one of the league’s most destructive openers.

5. Virat Kohli (2 sixes to surpass Rohit Sharma’s 2nd-most IPL sixes & 15 runs to 3500 T20 runs in Bengaluru)

Virat Kohli is set to script history on two fronts. With 256 IPL sixes, he needs two more to overtake Rohit Sharma (283) as the tournament’s second-highest six-hitter after Chris Gayle (357). Simultaneously, he’s 15 runs shy to score 3,500 T20 runs in Bengaluru. Both milestones achievable and will be served on the plate given Kohli doesn't walk back early in the match.

6. Rajat Patidar (15 runs to 1000 IPL runs)

Rajat Patidar, Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s middle-order mainstay, needs 15 runs to reach 1,000 IPL runs. Despite a slow start this season, his recent 64 off 32 against MI showcased his ability to accelerate. Crossing this mark would be a career-defining moment for the skipper, who is leading Bengaluru for the first time guiding RCB’s playoff aspirations.

7. Devdutt Padikkal (2 sixes to 50 IPL sixes)

Devdutt Padikkal, known for his elegant strokeplay, is two sixes away from 50 IPL maximums. The left-hander, with 48 sixes in 70 matches, has expanded his game to embrace power-hitting this season. Hitting this mark would signal his transition from a classical anchor to a versatile modern-day hitter.

8. Krunal Pandya (3 catches to 50 IPL catches)

Krunal Pandya, RCB's spin all-rounder, is three catches away from 50 IPL catches. A livewire on the field, Krunal has taken 47 catches in 133 matches, often plucking stunners at crucial moments. This milestone would highlight his underrated fielding prowess, complementing his economical bowling and handy lower-order batting.

9. Tim David (6 fours to 50 IPL fours)

RCB's Tim David, renowned for his monstrous sixes, is six boundaries away from 50 IPL fours. The ultimate finisher in the lower order, with 44 fours in 44 matches, relies heavily on clearing the ropes (58 sixes). Reaching this mark should be a cakewalk for the all-rounder, given that he comes in early into the game.
