IPL history: Top 5 totals by Royal Challengers Bangalore

#1 263/5 vs Pune Warriors India – 2013 (Bengaluru)

The Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is generally known for its short boundaries and usually, plenty of runs are scored. However, this was a day when the RCB batsmen, Chris Gayle, in particular, decided to smash records and test the limits of the Chinnaswamy Stadium’s small boundaries.

A score that was considered competitive in 50-over cricket no too long ago was achieved in 20 overs. 263 runs were scored in 20 overs and out of these a jaw-dropping 210 runs came in boundaries (21 fours and 21 sixes). Chris Gayle blasted his way to a record-shattering 175 in 66 balls (13 fours and 17 sixes). AB de Villiers played a small 8-ball cameo as he scored 31 (three fours and three sixes). RCB scored 128 in the first 10 overs and another 145 in the next 10 to rack up the highest ever IPL score.

Pune Warriors India bowlers were smashed to all corners of the ground as they conceded over 13 runs per over. The batsmen then just didn’t turn up as they were restricted to 133/9.

Brief Scores: RCB 263/5 (Gayle 175*, de Villiers 31) beat PWI 133/9 (Smith 41, Rampaul 2/21, Gayle 2-5) by 130 runs
