56 matches, 6 weeks, 8 teams, and the 2019 Indian Premier League is down to 4 teams as we hit the business end of the tournament.

Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad are the four franchises that get to fight it out for the next week ahead of the final on Sunday, 12 May.

But as the teams prepare for the qualifiers and the eliminator, here’s a look at which players and franchises have entered the record books with their performances.

1. Mumbai Indians’ Alzarri Joseph bowled IPL history’s best-ever spell, returning with figures of 6/12 against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

2. Jonny Bairstow and David Warner’s opening partnership not only carried Sunrisers Hyderabad’s season but also made it into the record books. Their 185-run stand against RCB on 31 March is IPL history’s best-ever opening partnership.

3. When Bairstow and Warner scored hundreds against Royal Challengers Bangalore in Hyderabad, it was the first time that both openers had scored centuries in the same innings in the IPL.

4. The 791 runs scored by Bairstow and Warner together are the most runs by an opening pair in an IPL season.

5. David Warner, despite playing only 12 matches this season, finished as the highest-scorer with 692 runs. The Aussie smashed one unbeaten century and 8 half-centuries.

6. Warner has now scored half-centuries in eight consecutive matches against Kings XI Punjab. He also set the record for the most 50-plus scores against an IPL opponent; he has 10 half-centuries against KXIP.
