The 28th match of Pakistan Super League 2023 (PSL 2023) was played between Quetta Gladiators vs Multan Sultans (QTG vs MS), which Multan won by nine runs. Usman Khan, who batted for Multan, batted extremely lethally, leaving the Quetta bowlers sweating. However, in this match, Multan fell short of breaking an extensive record, which we will mention today.
Multan’s Team Remained One Run Away From Breaking The Record
In this match, Quetta Gladiators won the toss and gave Multan Sultan a chance to bat first. Batting first, Multan scored 262 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in 20 overs. In response, Quetta could only manage 253 runs at the loss of 8 wickets in 20 overs.

Usman Khan played a stormy inning from Multan. He faced 43 balls and played a lousy inning of 120 runs with the help of 12 fours and nine sixes. Had Usman batted for some more time, the highest score would have been seen in Pakistan Super League 2023 (PSL 2023), but this could not happen, and with this, the record of IPL would have been broken, which was made by RCB and that too. Thanks to Chris Gayle.
Chris Gayle Played A Stormy Innings
The highest score in IPL is recorded in the name of RCB, which was made by this team against Pune Warriors on 23 April 2013. Bangalore scored 263 runs at the loss of 5 wickets in 20 overs. Chris Gayle played an unbeaten 175 in this match. During this, 13 fours and 17 sixes also emerged from Gayle’s bat.
Please tell that Royal Challengers Bangalore won this match by 130 runs. However, this record was broken by just two runs in Pakistan Super League 2023 (PSL 2023). Had Multan scored two more runs, this IPL record would have been destroyed.
