IPL record lead

The Indian Premier League is a Twenty20 (T20) competition in men's cricket. Organised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the tournament has taken place every year since it was first held in 2008. Several teams went in and out of the tournament at different years, while names of some teams were changed. The tournament format has always been a round-robin format, where each team plays with each other team twice, each match in either of the team's homeground.

Indian batsman Virat Kohli holds the record for the most runs made on IPL, since its beginning in 2008. Chris Gayle dominates the spot for scoring the highest-individual score in a match with 175* runs off 66 balls and 128* off 62 balls, the highest amount of overall 6's in the league and also the highest number of 6's in a match, fastest century, fastest fifty, highest amount of runs in a series as well as the most 100's and the highest Man of the Match awards. Lasith Malinga took the highest number of wickets, and the highest number of 4-wicket hauls while also holding records for being one among the players with the most dot balls bowled and the most maiden overs. MS Dhoni, Dinesh Karthik and Robin Uthappa dominate the Wicketkeeping records, all 3 being among the top 5 players of most stumps and most catches. The most overall catches by any fielder is 102 catches by the batsman Suresh Raina.

Royal Challengers Bangalore has the scored the highest runs in a match with an astounding score of 263-5 against Pune Warriors India in 2013, the same match in which Gayle hit his record score for a match in IPL, and also the record for the highest number of 6's in an innings. This is also the second highest innings total by any team in a T20 match. The second record is also set by RCB against Gujarat Lions having scoring 248-5. CSK set the record 246-5 and 240-5 while KKR scoring 245-6 in a match against Kings XI Punjab in 2018.

Only 5 teams has won a title since the beginning of the league. Mumbai Indians, who holds the current champion title, has won the highest number of tournaments i.e. 4 with Chennai Super Kings winning 3 titles and Kolkata Knight Riders 2.

Motivation

Sources

There are quite a number of sources of motivation.

Curiosity

Curiosity is a strong motivator for learning. Students being curious to know something tend to learn that quickly rather than having to mug up.

NEET

The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), formerly the All India Pre-Medical Test (AIPMT) is an entrance examination in India, for students who wish to study graduate and postgraduate medical course (MBBS, MD, MS) and dental course (BDS, MDS) in government or private medical colleges and dental colleges respectively in India. NEET-UG (Undergraduate), for MBBS and BDS courses, is currently conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) which also conducts NEET-SS in partnership with Prometric Testing Pvt Ltd headquartered in the USA.. NEET-UG replaced the All India Pre Medical Test (AIPMT) and all individual MBBS exams conducted by states or colleges themselves in 2013. However, many colleges and institutes had taken a stay order and conducted private examinations for admission to their MBBS and BDS courses. Last NEET-UG was held on 6 May, 2018 and results were declared on 4 June of the same year.

NEET-UG is a single entrance test for admissions to more than 66,000 MBBS and BDS seats across India. In 2018 NEET exam, around 80% of the candidates wrote the exam in English, 11% in Hindi, 4.31% in Gujarati, 3% in Bengali and 1.86% in Tamil. Undergraduate courses at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi and Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education & Research (JIPMER) are outside the NEET’s purview, as these institutes were set up by separate laws.
