Over the years, teams and players have shattered records for the highest scores.
However, No team has ever scored 300 runs in a single IPL match. The closest anyone has come was Sunrisers Hyderabad’s massive 287/3 against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 2024 season.
While some teams have already shown the potential of scoring 300 during the practice matches of IPL 2025, will we see the scoreboard cross 300 in the actual tournament?
Let’s explore the possibilities, key players, and conditions that could make it happen!
Teams That Might Get 300 In IPL 2025
Gujarat Titans’ captain Shubman Gill spoke in an interview that IPL 2025 could reach 300, given the format’s pace of evolution.
Additionally, in practice matches new players are delivering good performances, including Ishan Kishan’s pre-season form for Sunrisers Hyderabad (three fifties and a 49 off 19 balls) and Rajasthan Royals’ Riyan Parag’s 144 from 64 balls and Dhruv Jurel scored 144 of 44 balls.
Here are five teams capable of scoring the 300-run mark – Sunrisers Hyderabad, Punjab Kings, Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders, and RCB. Let’s see in detail why these teams can hit 300 in IPL:
1. CSK
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) highest IPL total is 246/5 against Rajasthan Royals at MA Chidambaram Stadium on April 3, 2010. Their highest run chase was 206/5 against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens on April 23, 2023. In recent seasons, CSK has been consistently reaching the playoffs and clinching the title in 2021 and 2023.
Key players include Ruturaj Gaikwad, who scored 583 runs in 14 innings with an average of 53.00, and Shivam Dube, with 396 runs in 14 innings averaging 36.00.
Given their aggressive batting lineup and past performances, CSK has the potential to breach the 300-run mark in the upcoming season.
2. SRH
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) has been a strong batting unit in the IPL, and looks most likely to hit 300 in IPL 2025. On April 15, 2024, they set a record by scoring 287/3 against Royal Challengers Bangalore at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Earlier that season, on March 27, they posted 277/3 against Mumbai Indians at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
Their highest successful run chase came on May 7, 2023, when they chased down 215 against Rajasthan Royals, their first successful 200-plus chase. According to the highest run chases in IPL history, this was a significant milestone. After missing the playoffs in previous years, SRH finished as runners-up in 2024.
With players like Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, and Pat Cummins leading the charge, they have the potential to cross the 300-run mark in the upcoming season.
3. KKR
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) achieved their highest IPL total of 272/7 against Delhi Capitals at Visakhapatnam in 2024. Their most notable run chase was in the 2012 IPL final, successfully pursuing 190 against Chennai Super Kings to claim their first title.
KKR has won the IPL title three times: in 2012, 2014, and 2024. Key players like Sunil Narine and Jonny Bairstow have been instrumental in their successes.
Given their recent high-scoring performances, KKR has the potential to reach a 300-run total in upcoming seasons.
4. RCB
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) was very close to touching 300 10 years back and set the IPL record for the highest team total, scoring 263/5 against Pune Warriors India in 2013 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru.
Their most significant successful run chase was against Pune Warriors in 2012, where they achieved a target of 182 runs.
Despite consistently strong performances, RCB has yet to secure an IPL title.
Considering their batting prowess and past performances, especially in 2024, RCB has the potential to reach a total of 300 runs in a match.
5. Punjab Kings
Punjab Kings (PBKS) achieved their highest IPL total on April 26, 2024, scoring 262/2 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
In that exact match, they set a record for the most successful chase in T20 history by surpassing KKR’s 261/6, winning with eight balls to spare.
Despite these remarkable performances, PBKS has yet to secure an IPL title. With key players like Shreyas Iyer, Jonny Bairstow, and Shashank Singh, PBKS has the potential to reach or even surpass the 300-run mark in future matches.
Which Team Scored The Most Runs In The IPL Yet?
The highest team score in IPL history was achieved by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), who scored 287/3 against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on April 15, 2024.
