Top 10 highest team totals in T20s

7) Royal Challengers Bangalore (248-3 against Gujarat Lions)

With a batting line-up as strong as that of the Challengers, it should not come as a surprise that they feature on this list. In the match 44 of the IPL 2016 season, the Challengers were put into bat first by the Gujarat Lions and what followed was some unbelievable batting by Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers.

After the departure of Chris Gayle early on in the innings, Kohli came together with de Villiers and put 229 runs for the 3rd wicket, De Villiers top-scoring with 129 runs in 52 deliveries and Kohli with 109 runs in 55 deliveries. The Challengers ended with 248 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in their 20 overs.

The Gujarat Lions were found completely clueless in their chase as they were bundled out for a total of 104 runs in 18 overs. Leggie Yuzvendra Chahal and Chris Jordan were the pick of the bowlers, sharing 7 wickets between them and helping the Challengers win by a margin of 144 runs.
