Highest Successful Run Chases in IPL History (2008-2023)

The Indian Premier League is the biggest and one of the most entertaining sporting events in the country. Most people watch IPL for its unexpected and thrilling playing action, which is usually delivered by the batting side. There is no surety in IPL. Any team win on any given day, no matter how big or small the scoreboard is. Yet, a 200-plus run total is considered a safe bet in most cases. Teams try to score as many runs as possible with the new ball and hope to defend it with their full might.
However, there have been times when the chasing side has rocketed towards high, even 200-plus scores easily. It’s quite uncommon but is happening more frequently lately as the sport is evolving and players getting better. You can check out the list of the highest successful run chases in IPL history below.
