Highest successful chase in IPL final

Chasing in the final of a cricket tournament might be the toughest task. Handling that pressure with everything on the line isn’t for everyone. The unpredictable nature of T20 cricket makes the challenge even harder. In a matter of seconds, the game could flip on its head. That’s why no target of over 200 has been chased in the Indian Premier League (IPL) final, despite the par totals increasing season after season.

The surfaces are tired. You fear for your wicket all of a sudden. Every boundary adds to the pressure. That’s why, even in the IPL 2025 final between the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and the Punjab Kings, a target of 191 looked as high as a mountain.

RCB are into their second consecutive final. This time, their opponents are the Gujarat Titans (GT). After winning the toss, Rajat Patidar opted to bowl first, meaning they’ll need to chase in the IPL 2026 final. It won’t be easy, but RCB are a proficient chasing side. In the last 2 seasons, they have completed their highest successful chases.
