The most dangerous openers in IPL 2026 have been Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh. Both the batsmen score runs quickly. Both of them have created history with their stormy batting in the very first over against Delhi Capitals at Dharamshala ground. Punjab Kings scored 22 runs in the first over. The first over for Delhi was bowled by Mitchell Starc.

For the first time, Punjab Kings scored so many runs in the first over.

For the first time in the history of IPL, Punjab Kings have scored so many runs in the first over. Earlier this season, Punjab Kings had scored 21 runs in the first over against Mumbai Indians. Then Deepak Chahar was beaten. Today Stark has been broken. The most runs scored by Punjab Kings in the first over of an IPL innings is 22, breaking the record of 21 runs scored against Mumbai at Wankhede earlier this season.

This is the record of Punjab Kings scoring the most runs in the first over in IPL. However, in the history of IPL, Rajasthan Royals holds the record for scoring the most runs by any team in the first over. In IPL 2023, Rajasthan Royals scored 26 runs in the first over against Kolkata Knight Riders.

Delhi Capitals also have a shameful record

Delhi has given so many runs in the first over for the second time in IPL. Earlier in IPL 2023, Delhi Capitals had given 23 runs in the first over against Kolkata Knight Riders.

For the sixth time in IPL, Priyansh Arya hit a six on the first ball, created history.

Earlier in the history of IPL, this had happened only five times when a batsman had hit a six on the first ball of the match. Virat Kohli, Priyansh Arya, Naman Ojha, Phil Salt and Yashasvi Jaiswal had done this once each. But Priyansh Arya is the first batsman in the world to do this twice. He has done this for the first time in 2025 against Chennai Super Kings and now against Delhi Capitals.
