RCB beat Gujarat Titans record during IPL 2026 Qualifier 1
The IPL playoffs are where seasons are won and lost, but they are also, increasingly, where some of the biggest totals in T20 cricket have been posted. The knockout stage brings out a different kind of pressure, and yet batting line-ups have consistently risen to the occasion.
Gujarat Titans' 233/3 against Mumbai Indians in the 2023 Qualifier 2 remained at the top of the all-time list until the Royal Challengers Bengaluru smashed 254/5 in the IPL 2026 Qualifier 1 against GT to break the highest total in IPL playoffs record.

Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings each feature twice. GT's three entries are particularly remarkable given they only joined the IPL in 2022 and reached back-to-back finals in their first two seasons.
CSK's representation is equally telling: a team renowned more for tactical precision than brute force, yet capable of posting monster totals when the moment demands it.
Top 10: Highest team scores in Indian Premier League history
While 233 is the highest score ever posted in an IPL playoff match, it tells you everything about how the format has evolved that it does not even come close to the all-time record.
In the broader context of IPL history, 233 now sits 42nd on the all-time highest innings list: a number that would have been unthinkable in the tournament's early years, and one that simply reflects how far batting standards have risen in the league stage.
SRH have the top four highest scores in IPL history. Here are the top 10 highest team totals in the history of the Indian Premier League:
