IPL’s inaugural champions The highest total ever chased down in the richly funded league’s history was done by Rajasthan Royals.

When Shane Warne and the Royals’ team chased down 215 against the Deccan Chargers in the first season, they broke the previous mark.

Many sides sought totals above 200 over the course of the following 12 years, but none came close to matching what RR accomplished in 2008.

All of that changed during the 2020 season, when the Rajasthan Royals advanced and ruthlessly gunned down 224 against the Punjab Kings.

In 2021, Mumbai Indians completed the second-highest run-chase in IPL history by gunning down CSK’s 218 thanks to a powerful knock from Kieron Pollard.

The third-place finisher is Rajasthan’s chase of 215 against Deccan in 2008, followed by LSG’s scaling of 211 against MI in IPL 2022.

The Delhi Capitals round out the top five. They finished the 2017 season by chasing down 209 against the Gujarat Lions thanks to explosive performances from Rishabh Pant (97 off 43) and Sanju Samson (61 off 31).
