Top 5 highest team totals in IPL 2026

Many teams have crossed the 200-run mark in IPL 2026.

Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 have witnessed the dominance of batters since the first game, with teams posting mammoth totals on the boards. Moreover, some teams have also chased down 200-plus targets with ease, which in itself says that crossing 200-run mark doesn’t guarantee victories for the team batting first.

The use of flat pitches and impact players can be termed as the two crucial factors behind high-scoring games in IPL 2026. While bowlers have been at the receiving end of thrashing, batters have grabbed a lot of limelight. On that note, below are the top five highest team totals in IPL 2026.
