IPL: What is the highest successful chase in playoffs?

Several teams have bagged victories while chasing big totals in the playoffs of IPL.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) did not have the playoffs rounds in the initial seasons. The top four teams used to clash in the semi-finals and the winners of the semis locked horns in the final.

However, the IPL authority found this format a little unfair for the top two teams in the points table. Despite finishing in the top two slots, a single goof-up in the knockout ended their journey in the tournament.

Hence, the playoffs format was introduced in the IPL, where the top two teams get two chances to make it to the final through Qualifier 1 and Qualifier 2 clashes. Moreover, the third and fourth- placed teams have to win two games in a row to book a berth in the final.

Over the years, several teams have posted mammoth totals in the playoffs. Moreover, a few teams have also chased down big totals, showcasing their might with the batting.

Gujarat Titans hold record for highest-ever chase in IPL playoffs

Gujarat Titans hold the record for the highest successful chase in IPL playoffs. In the Qualifier 2 clash of IPL 2026, GT chased down a 215-run target against Rajasthan Royals.

Opting to bat first, RR piled up 214/6 with a half-century by Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (96). While RR lost a few key batters cheaply, Ravindra Jadeja (45) and Donovan Ferreira (38) added crucial runs on the board.

However, GT openers Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill made a fabulous opening stand of 167 runs, setting the platform for GT’s victory. Gill (104) hammered a century as GT chased down the target by seven wickets within just 19 overs.
