Highest Scores in IPL | Top 5 highest team scores in IPL

Indian Premier League (IPL) is the biggest sports extravaganza in the cricket world. Chasing an average score itself is a difficult task in a game like T20. Then imagine team totals, which are already above 14 runs per over. Quite a crazy thing, right? 

Here is the list of the top 5 team scores in IPL history: (List of the highest individual score in IPL: here)

1. SunRisers Hyderabad (287/3):   

Less than a month after their record IPL total of 277/3, SunRisers Hyderabad broke their previous record and set up a new IPL total record with 287/3 in 20 overs against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Bengaluru in the IPL 2024. After RCB chose to field first, SRH openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma provided a fiery start with 79/0 at the end of the powerplay. Soon, they set up the 108-run opening partnership before Sharma’s (34 in 22 balls) wicket in the ninth over. While Head recorded the fastest SRH century in 39 balls and scored 102 off 41 balls (nine fours and eight sixes), Heinrich Klaasen scored 67 runs off 31 balls with the help of two fours and seven sixes. Also, Aiden Markram's (32 not out in 17 balls; two fours and two sixes) and Abdul Samad’s (37 not out in 10 balls; four fours and three sixes) cameos had important roles in that record IPL total. 

2. SunRisers Hyderabad (286/6):   

It was the eighth match of the IPL 2024, where SunRisers Hyderabad thrashed the 11-year-old IPL record to set up a new highest IPL total with 277/3 (20 overs) against the five-time IPL winners Mumbai Indians. After Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya chose to field first at Hyderabad, SRH batters Travis Head (62 off 24 balls), Abhishek Sharma (63 off 23 balls), Aiden Markram (42 not out off 28 balls), and Heinrich Klaasen (80 not out off 34 balls) just outclassed the MI bowlers. After Travis Head recorded the fastest fifty for SRH by completing it in 18 balls, Abhishek soon broke that record with a 16-ball fifty.

4. Kolkata Knight Riders (272/7):   

Just a few days after SunRisers Hyderabad's remarkable 277/3, Kolkata Knight Riders had an astonishing innings against Delhi Capitals. After a 60-run opening partnership with Phil Salt, Sunil Narine continued his batting dominance with Angkrish Raghuvanshi and they had a 104-run partnership for the second wicket in just eight overs. While Narine scored 85 off just 39 balls and Angkrish shined with 54 off 27 balls, Andre Russell bashed Delhi bowlers in his 41 runs knock in just 19 balls. Rinku Singh also smashed 26 off only eight balls, as KKR finished the first innings with 272/7 in 20 overs. Later, KKR won that match by 106 runs after all out their opponents for 166 runs (17.2 overs).
