RCB beat Gujarat Titans record during IPL 2026 Qualifier 1

The IPL playoffs are where seasons are won and lost, but they are also, increasingly, where some of the biggest totals in T20 cricket have been posted. The knockout stage brings out a different kind of pressure, and yet batting line-ups have consistently risen to the occasion. 

Gujarat Titans' 233/3 against Mumbai Indians in the 2023 Qualifier 2 remained at the top of the all-time list until the Royal Challengers Bengaluru smashed 254/5 in the IPL 2026 Qualifier 1 against GT to break the highest total in IPL playoffs record.

Gujarat Titans feature thrice. Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings each feature twice. GT's two entries are particularly remarkable given they only joined the IPL in 2022 and reached back-to-back finals in their first two seasons.

CSK's representation is equally telling: a team renowned more for tactical precision than brute force, yet capable of posting monster totals when the moment demands it.
