Highest Powerplay Score in IPL 2024 and Previous Seasons

1) Kolkata Knight Riders- 105/0 against RCB

With 105 runs in the first six overs of their 2017 encounter against RCB, KKR holds the record for most runs in the powerplay in an IPL game.

During that time, Sunil Narine, a hazardous player in the powerplay, scored 54 runs from 16 balls, including the fastest half-century in IPL history. On the other hand, Chris Lynn added 49 runs from 20 balls. The two combined for eight sixes during the powerplay, which is currently the equal-highest amount of sixes in an IPL powerplay.

2) Chennai Super Kings vs. KXIP: 100/2

The only other instance of a club scoring 100 or more in the powerplay was CSK’s performance in 2014, which also marked the maximum number of runs in the history of the Indian Premier League powerplay at the time.

From the beginning, this game was a run-fest as KXIP amassed an incredible 232/6 in their 20 overs, the seventh-highest total in IPL history, mostly thanks to a century from Virender Sehwag. CSK knew they would need to score heavily in the powerplay when they came out to chase such a large mark, but they dropped a few easy wickets. That didn’t stop Suresh Raina from mounting a fantastic counterattack, though, as he finished with the most runs in the powerplay—87 off just 25 balls—of any batsman! To put it into perspective, only the top 3 teams on this list of the highest runs scored during an IPL powerplay scored fewer runs than he did.

3) Chennai Super Kings vs. Mumbai Indians, 90/0

This was CSK’s second appearance on the list, but this time Suresh Raina got to relax in the dugout with his feet up while his colleagues attempted to break his record for the most runs scored in an IPL powerplay.

4) Kochi Tuskers’ 87/2 vs RR

For three years, this would stand as the IPL record for most runs in the powerplay, going all the way back to 2011. Rajasthan was knocked out for a pitiful 97 runs, and the Kochi Tuskers were able to chase it down in just 7.2 overs, making it one of the most one-sided matches in IPL history.

Prior to joining Brendon McCullum for a third innings in which the innings resulted in the most runs in the powerplay, Brad Hodge had already recorded career-best bowling figures. He then went on to smash 25 in 12 balls during the powerplay, adding 29 from 12 deliveries, as the Kochi Tuskers wrote themselves into the record books with the highest runs in the powerplay in their penultimate IPL appearance.

5) KXIP: 86/1 vs SRH

KXIP’s run total in the powerplay versus SRH was the fifth-highest in the IPL. Even though KXIP lost Sehwag on the opening ball of the innings, Wriddhiman Saha (52 from 23 balls) and Manan Vohra (29 from 11 balls) still managed to cut through the opposition. With eight balls remaining, KXIP was able to chase down 205 because of their powerplay heroics. As was already mentioned, their 13 fours during the powerplay tied the record for the most boundaries scored during an IPL powerplay.
