LSG's recent effort of 257 is also the highest score ever recorded on this ground, surpassing Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) effort of 240 in the first-ever IPL match at the PCA Stadium in 2008.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) made history at the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) Stadium in Mohali on Friday, April 28th, by posting an impressive total of 257 runs, the second-highest score in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Although they narrowly missed out on RCB's record of 263, which was set a decade ago in 2013 when they put up a massive score against Pune Warriors India (PWI), the LSG's performance was nothing short of remarkable.
After PBKS won the toss and elected to bowl first, Kyle Mayers gave LSG a stunning start with a knock of 54 in just 24 balls. However, it was Marcus Stoinis who stole the show, making an impressive 72 runs in just 40 balls, while Ayush Badoni contributed a quick 23-ball 43. Nicolas Pooran gave his side the perfect finish with a 19-ball 45.
Highest scores in IPL history:
RCB vs PWI, Bangalore, 2013 - 263/5
LSG vs PBKS, Mohali, 2023 - 257/5
RCB vs GL, Bangalore, 2016 - 248/3
CSK vs RR, Chennai, 2010 - 246/5
KKR vs PBKS, Indore, 2018 - 245/6
LSG also achieved a remarkable milestone, marking a momentous occasion in their history. For only the second time, they have registered a total of 250-plus, and this is the first time in a decade.
Prior to this, the record for the second-highest IPL score in history was held by RCB. In 2016, they put up an impressive total of 248 against the now-defunct Gujarat Lions, led by Suresh Raina. This game was particularly noteworthy as it saw the rare feat of two players scoring a century in the same innings, with both Ab de Villiers and Virat Kohli reaching this milestone.
LSG's recent effort of 257 is also the highest score ever recorded on this ground, surpassing Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) effort of 240 in the first-ever IPL match at the PCA Stadium in 2008.
