Solution

First find the maximum runs scored and minimum balls faced. Minimum number of balls faced by Rahane = 47 Maximum runs scored by Pujara = 2 × 24 + 1 × 1 + 4 × 4 = 65 Maximum runs scored by team = 222 + 80 + 74 + 65 + 26 + 161 = 628 Minimum number of balls faced = 156 + 110 + 84 + 41 + 10 + 47 = 448 balls or 448/6 = 74. 4 overs So maximum run rate = 628/74.4 = 8.44
