IPL: check out the top five highest run chases in the tournament history

And
today
we
shall
take
a
sneak
peek
at
the
five
best
IPL
chases
in
the
years.
We
will
be
roaming
from
the
recent
days
to
the
ancient
days
of
IPL
to
find
out
the
five
highest-ever
run
chases
in
the
history
of
IPL
cricket.
Let
the
story
begin-

5.
Delhi
Capitals
vs
Gujarat
Lions
(Runs
Chased:
209)

In
this
match
in
2017,
Gujarat
Lions
put
on
a
huge
total
of
208.
Dinesh
Karthik
(65
of
34)
and
Suresh
Raina
(77
of
43)
batted
exquisitely
for
the
now-defunct
franchise
to
amass
that
huge
number
on
the
scoreboard.

But
Delhi
Capitals
had
other
things
in
their
mind.
Rishabh
Pant
scored
an
absolute
blinder
of
97
in
just
43
balls
that
had
6
fours
and
9
sixes.
Sanju
Samson
gave
him
worthy
company
and
kickstarted
the
chase
for
DC
with
a
carnage
of
61
in
just
31
balls.
And
in
the
end,
Shreyas
Iyer
and
Corey
Anderson
saw
them
through
as
Delhi
chased
down
the
209
with
15
balls
to
spare.

4.
Lucknow
Super
Giants
vs
Chennai
Super
Kings
(Runs
Chased:
211)

This
run
chase
was
accomplished
this
year
only.
CSK’s
210
was
toppled
courtesy
of
a
sturdy
batting
display
by
the
LSG
batters.
KL
Rahul
and
Quinton
de
Kock
started
off
well
and
together
put
up
a
99
runs
partnership.
But
the
match
was
turned
on
by
Windies
batter
Evin
Lewis,
who
bludgeoned
past
the
CSK
bowlers
to
score
55
of
just
23
balls.
Then
at
the
end,
it
was
budding
star
Ayush
Badoni
who
flicked
two
amazing
sixes
to
secure
the
victory
for
the
Lucknow
side.

3.
Rajasthan
Royals
vs
Deccan
Chargers
(Runs
Chased:
215)

As
I
promised,
this
will
take
you
to
the
inaugural
IPL
season
in
2008.
The
Deccan
Chargers
were
having
a
torrid
season
despite
being
one
of
the
favorites
coming
into
the
tournament.
And
their
misery
was
added
as
Rajasthan
chased
down
215
runs.
Graeme
Smith
(71)
and
Yusuf
Pathan
(61
of
just
28
balls)
played
a
major
part
in
it,
but
the
ultimate
magician
was
the
late
great
Shane
Warne.
Warnie
hit
two
sixes
and
two
fours
to
score
22
of
just
9
and
snatched
victory
for
his
team.
Rajasthan
also
went
on
to
become
Champions
in
that
year.

2.
Mumbai
Indians
vs
Chennai
Super
Kings
(Runs
Chased:
219)

This
was
in
2021
only.
The
Chennai
faithful
were
almost
in
Whistle
Podu
mood,
when
a
certain
Kieron
Pollard
came
out
of
nowhere.
Chasing
219,
Mumbai
were
3
down
for
81
in
10
overs.
But
Kieron
Pollard
came
and
massacred
everything
that
came
in
his
way
and
piled
on
87
runs
in
just
34
balls.
They
needed
16
in
the
last
over,
and
Pollard
hit
Lungi
Ngidi
4,4,6
and
took
a
couple
in
the
final
ball
to
give
the
Paltans
a
memorable
win.

1.
Rajasthan
Royals
vs
Punjab
Kings
(Runs
Chased:
224)

A
star
named
Rahul
Tewatia
was
born
on
that
day
in
Sharjah.
Mayank
Agarwal’s
ton
took
Punjab
to
223
in
the
full
quota
of
overs.
In
reply,
Steve
Smith
and
Sanju
Samson
gave
the
Royals
a
platform.
But
then
came
Rahul
Tewatia.
Tewatia
initially
struggled
a
lot
and
his
inability
to
find
the
fence
was
one
of
the
reasons
why
the
Royals
were
finding
themselves
in
a
spot
of
bother.

But
he
changed
everything
in
the
18th
over
by
hitting
5
sixes
to
Sheldon
Cottrell.
Rajasthan
needed
51
before
that
and
that
came
down
to
a
mere
20
in
the
last
couple.
Tewatia
hit
Mohammed
Shami
out
of
the
park
a
couple
of
more
times,
but
eventually
got
out.
But
Tom
Curran
saw
through
the
final
runs
as
the
Royals
won
with
three
balls
to
spare.
