On Friday, Punjab Kings set a new world record for the highest successful chase in T20 history, chasing down a mammoth 262-run target against Kolkata Knight Riders.Jonny Bairstow's blistering century, scored in just 18.4 overs, led the way for Punjab. Shashank Singh provided late-innings fireworks with a quickfire half-century as PBKS cruised to victory, surpassing the highest T20 total ever seen at Eden Gardens.Previously, Rajasthan Royals held the IPL record for the highest successful chase, achieved during the 2020 season when they chased down 224 runs against Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) in Sharjah. They tied that mark again in the 2024 season with a sensational chase against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens, with Jos Buttler scoring an unbeaten century to win on the final ball.However, Punjab Kings upped the ante on Friday, not only surpassing the highest IPL chase but also setting a new benchmark for T20 cricket. Again at Eden Gardens, KKR posted their highest total at the venue with a massive 261/6.
