RCB – 263/5 vs Pune Warriors India
The RCB team now holds the record for the highest team total in IPL history after scoring an incredible 263/5 against the Pune Warriors in 2013. Chris Gayle’s stunning performance—which saw him reach 175 without being struck off just 66 balls—fueled a fantastic team effort. The 17 fours and 13 sixes in this inning helped RCB set a record that hasn’t been surpassed.
RCB – 248/3 vs Gujarat Lions
With Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, and AB de Villiers in the top order, the fan favourite RCB had a strong batting lineup and appeared to be the champion of huge totals. It was against the disbanded Gujarat Lions in this IPL 2016 encounter.
Gayle’s wicket was lost early on this particular day, but Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers decided to appease the Bangalore supporters. The two joined forces for a record-breaking 229-run stand for the second wicket after RCB hammered their way to 248/3 in 20 overs.
CSK – 246/5 vs Rajasthan Royals
The most runs scored by a team in IPL history are also held by Chennai Super Kings (CSK). 2010 saw CSK score an astounding 246/5 against the Rajasthan Royals. This was made possible by CSK’s Murali Vijay’s outstanding effort, who scored 127 runs off just 56 balls.
KKR – 245/6 vs Punjab King
Punjab Kings is notorious for leaking runs during the most important moments. They routinely went for runs over the years, which is known to all. In May 2018, Sunil Narine and the Kolkata Knight Riders tested Punjab. The KKR scored 245/6 in their 20 overs when they batted first, thanks in part to Narine’s 36-ball 75.
CSK – 240/5 vs Punjab Kings
CSK enjoyed a winning streak during the inaugural IPL season. They have a fantastic combination of batsmen who are aggressive and players who can score runs at will. Michael Hussey scored 116 runs off just 54 balls with the help of Suresh Raina and S. Badrinath, including eight fours and nine sixes. The fifth-highest team total in Premier League history, CSK rapidly scored 240/5 in their 20 overs, leaving Punjab in disbelief.
