A new trend has been seen in the Indian Premier League that batsmen start trying to score boundaries on the very first ball. In this era of explosive batsmen like Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Abhishek Sharma and Priyansh Arya, the batsmen swing the bat in the very first over as if there is only one over in the innings, not 20. For this reason, many teams have hit fours and sixes in the initial overs of the innings. Know here about those teams which have scored the most runs in the first over.
