Punjab Kings Set World Record with 262 Run Chase – Full List of Highest Successful Chases

PBKS recently surpassed South Africa’s 259/4 against West Indies in March last year. In the IPL, Rajasthan Royals had previously set the record for chasing down 224 against KKR at Eden Gardens, a record they equaled against Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) in 2020 in Sharjah. The openers set the stage for PBKS, and the following batters consolidated the home team’s position, leading to an imposing total.

Prabhsimran’s aggressive 20-ball 54 and Bairstow’s relentless onslaught were vital in securing a stunning win for PBKS. Bairstow’s exceptional performance (108 off 48 balls) was well-complemented by Shashank Singh’s quickfire 68 off 28 balls. The final scores for the match were: Kolkata Knight Riders: 261/6 in 20 overs (led by Phil Salt’s 75 and Sunil Narine’s 71).
