Calculation of Maximum Runs by Batsman

What was the question?

It's not as straight forward as it seems at first glance. That is one might think that the maximum score that one can score by hitting 6 on every ball of 50 overs is 50 x 6 x 6 = 1800. 

No doubt, 1800 can be the maximum team score but not the individual score.Since batsman rotates strike every over, here both batsmen share these 1800 runs as 900 to each.

However, if the batsman on strike runs 3 runs on the last ball of the over then he can hit 5 more sixes in next over as strike is rotated back to him in next over. He can continue in this way till 49th over. And in 50th over he can hit 6 sixes on 6 balls.

Maximum Individual Score = 49 x [(5x6)+3]  + 36 = 1617 + 36 = 1653.

In this case, the batman at the non-striker end scores 0 runs as he doesn't get strike on a single ball.
