    The Indian Premier League is the biggest and one of the most entertaining sporting events in the country. Most people watch IPL for its unexpected and thrilling playing action, which is usually delivered by the batting side. There is no surety in IPL.

It’s quite uncommon but is happening more frequently lately as the sport is evolving and players getting better. You can check out the list of the highest successful run chases in IPL history below.
