Top 5 highest team totals in IPL History

#4. 245/6 by Kolkata Knight Riders vs Kings XI Punjab in 2018

Sunil Narine, the batsman, made waves in IPL 2018

It is the second time that KXIP find themselves at the receiving end in this list. The 44th League Match in the 2018 IPL saw KKR take on KXIP. KXIP won the toss and elected to field first. KKR began with a solid start with Sunil Narine and Chris Lynn who put on a 53 runs partnership for the first wicket. After a 75-run partnership with Robin Uthappa, Narine departed on the 12th over with KKR at 128/2. A useful 24 by Robin Uthappa and 31 by Andre Russell followed by a half-century by skipper Dinesh Karthik helped KKR reach 245/6.

KXIP, as seen in the previous case again, had a good start with a 57 runs partnership between KL Rahul and Chris Gayle. By the 12th over KXIP had lost half of their batting line-up with 112 runs on board. Though Aaron Finch (34 runs) and R. Ashwin (45 runs) did show some resiliency it was a bit late as KXIP ended their innings with 214/8.

Sunil Narine for his 75 runs with the bat and 1/44 with the ball was named as the Player of the Match. 245/6 by KKR was also the highest team total in IPL 2018.
