Ahead of the 19th season of the IPL, former India players Irfan Pathan and Sanjay Bangar picked three teams each on who they think will break the 300-run barrier. “If you talk about grounds, you’ll have to talk about Bengaluru and Wankhede. Especially Wankhede where 500 runs were scored in the T20 World Cup semifinal and that has increased my expectations. If it’s the same type of pitch, 300 is possible. For the three …
