In a stunning display of batting prowess, Punjab Kings achieved the highest successful run chase in Indian Premier League history on April 26, 2026, overhauling Delhi Capitals' total of 264 runs. The record-breaking chase surpassed the previous best of 262 runs set by Rajasthan Royals earlier this season.
Shreyas Iyer led the charge with a blistering 97 off 42 balls, while Priyansh Arya contributed 84 off 38 and Prabhsimran Singh added a quickfire 69 off 34. The trio's aggressive batting ensured Punjab Kings reached the target with 6 balls to spare, winning by 5 wickets.
Delhi Capitals had earlier posted 264/5, powered by a century from their captain and contributions from the middle order. However, the total proved insufficient against Punjab's relentless attack.
This match marks the highest aggregate score in IPL history, with 528 runs scored across both innings. The previous record for a successful chase was 262, set by Rajasthan Royals against the same opponent earlier in the 2026 season.
