Punjab Kings Rewrite IPL History with Record 265‑Run Chase Against Delhi Capitals

New Delhi, April 25: In a breathtaking display of power hitting, the Punjab Kings scripted history by successfully chasing 265 runs in just 18.5 overs, the highest run chase ever in the Indian Premier League.

Openers Prabhsimran Singh (76 off 26) and Priyansh Arya (43 off 17) gave Punjab a flying start, smashing 116 runs in the first six overs.

Captain Shreyas Iyer then anchored the innings with a commanding 71 off 36 balls, steering the team to a six‑wicket victory.

Earlier, Delhi Capitals had posted a mammoth 264/2, powered by KL Rahul’s unbeaten 152 off 67 balls and Nitish Rana’s 91.

Despite the record total, Delhi’s hopes were dashed as Punjab’s batting lineup delivered one of the most explosive performances in IPL history.

The match also spotlighted 15‑year‑old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who stunned fans with a 36‑ball century, marking his arrival as the league’s youngest sensation.

With this win, Punjab Kings remain undefeated in IPL 2026, surpassing their own 2024 record chase of 262 runs and cementing their reputation as the tournament’s most dominant side.
