#7 Highest successful run chases

Rajasthan Royals

This record belongs to the mighty Rajasthan Royals. In the inaugural season of IPL, Rajasthan Royals chased down 217 runs against the Deccan Chargers. This 11-year-old record was fabricated with the astonishing performance of Yusuf Pathan.

Batting first, DC scored 214 runs for the loss of 5 wickets. Australian ace Andrew Symonds scored a massive 117 runs from 53 balls for DC. In reply, Yusuf Pathan played one of his best innings in the IPL, scoring 61 of 28 balls. Graeme Smith also contributed 71 runs in 45 balls and Captain Shane Warne with a cameo of 22 runs in 9 balls.

The record was established in the 8th match of IPL history and is still unbeaten.

#8 Lowest scores defended

One of the most successful teams in IPL, Chennai Super Kings holds the record for defending the lowest score in IPL. CSK defended 116 runs against the Kings XI Punjab in Durban, 2009.

The Super Kings were unable to convert a decent start of 54 for 1 in 7 overs, and were bowled out for 116.

The KXIP run-chase never started, as they were struggling from the first ball. Unable to build any strong partnership, Punjab ended their innings at 92 for 8 in 20 overs. From CSK, Muttiah Muralitharan, Ashwin and Raina took 2 wickets each.

Here is a list of the lowest successful scores defended in IPL so far.
