Kolkata Knight Riders Won the Opening Match & World Record for McCullum’s 158 from 73
The opening ceremony was a spectacular affair, but was followed was even more breathtaking, as Brendon McCullum destroyed the home team in the inaugural match of the IPL.
In what was a brutal one-man assault on the Bangalore Royal Challengers, McCullum blasted an unbeaten 158 from a mere 73 deliveries, the highest score in a Twenty20 match, to propel Kolkata Knight Riders to an imposing 222 for 3.
The punch-drunk Bangalore team was in no condition to fight back after that battering, and collapsed limply to 82 to lose by an embarrassing margin of 140 runs, the fourth-largest margin of defeat in a Twenty20 match.
