#4 Highest margin of victory by runs

RCB
Royal Challengers Bangalore won the game against Gujarat Lions by a huge margin

Royal Challengers Bangalore had the dubious record of conceding a defeat by the highest number of runs in the very first match of the inaugural season of the IPL in 2008 when they were humiliated by Kolkata Knight Riders by 140 runs.

So this year, they might have taken it upon themselves to change the dubious feat. In the game against Gujarat Lions, two of the best batsmen in the RCB side, AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli literally toyed with the bowling to take the total to a mammoth 248.

Chasing the gigantic total, the Gujarat side crumbled and were bowled out for a meagre 104 in 18.4 overs and thus registered their name in IPL history.

In the overall T20 records as well, the margin comes 5th in the list and thus proves the point that it will surely take some beating.
