The Indian Premier League is just four days away and all the teams are fighting it out hard to dominate the next two months of cricket in the scorching Indian summer. The upcoming edition of IPL promises to be a big affair. IPL has been a pool of records. In its long history of ten years, IPL has witnessed many records being broken. Thus, let us have a look at five IPL records that are expected to be shattered by the end of the season.

The possibility of Dinesh Karthik keeping the wickets for KKR this year is very high and it is expected that he might break MS Dhoni’s most stumping record.
