The IPL has produced some of the most dramatic and high-scoring run chases in T20 cricket history. With flat pitches, small boundaries, and the tournament's batting-friendly rules, teams have successfully chased totals that would have been considered impossible even 10 years ago. The highest successful run chase in IPL history is 263 by Punjab Kings vs RCB in 2024 — they chased down RCB's 262 on the last ball. RCB themselves chased 228 in IPL 2025. Sunrisers Hyderabad's record team total of 287/3 in 2024 was successfully defended, making it the highest total that was NOT chased.
