Top 10 highest team totals in T20s

8) Chennai Super Kings (246-5 against Rajasthan Royals)

Before the Chennai Super Kings got suspended from the Indian Premier League, they were a force to reckon with and also the only team to have made it to the semi-finals in all their campaigns. In the third edition of the Indian Premier League, the Chennai Super Kings faced off against the Rajasthan Royals and had chosen to bat against them.

Openers Matthew Hayden and Murali Vijay gave a good start of 62 runs in 6 overs. Vijay went on to make a big century – 127 runs in 56 deliveries – and had the support of Albie Morkel who scored 62 runs in 34 deliveries to help the Super Kings register a total of 246 in 20 overs.

The Royals almost looked like they were going to reach the target with Naman Ojha scoring 94 runs in 55 deliveries but fell short by 23 runs in the end. In a high scoring match, Doug Bollinger was the pick of the bowlers, conceding just 15 runs in his 4 overs and also picking up 2 wickets in the process. Murali Vijay was awarded the Man of the Match.
