103 Partnership runs between Shardul Thakur and Rinku Singh, the third-highest stand for the sixth or a lower wicket in the IPL.

13.53 Knight Riders' run rate after losing their fifth wicket at the score of 89 as they added 115 runs from the last 8.3 overs. Only once a team scored at a higher run rate after losing their fifth wicket inside 100 runs on the board in the IPL (where they batted for at least five overs). Mumbai had a run rate of 13.83 after they lost their fifth wicket at 46 against the erstwhile Kings XI Punjab in 2015.

3 for 30 Suyash Sharma's bowling figures are the second best for a spinner on IPL debut, behind Mayank Markande's 3 for 23 against Super Kings in 2018. Suyash's 3 for 30 are also the fifth-best bowling figures for an Indian on IPL debut.

23 Instances of Royal Challengers conceding 200-plus totals in all T20s, the joint-most by any team alongside Somerset. Royal Challengers have conceded 200-plus on 21 occasions in the IPL, the second most after Punjab Kings (22).
