287/3 is the highest team total scored in Indian Premier League (IPL) history. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) posted a mammoth 287 runs on the board against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in 2024.

Of the 263 runs scored by RCB in 2013, Chris Gayle notched up an unbeaten 175 runs off 66 balls. This is the highest individual score in the league’s history. On that day, the Chinnaswamy crowd witnessed the Gayle Storm, who slammed 13 fours and 17 sixes — the most sixes in an innings in the IPL.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) became only the second team to go past the 250-run mark in the IPL. The Lucknow-based team hammered 257 runs against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Mohali in 2023.
