From Marcus Stoinis to Paul Valthaty, Here are the Highest Individual Scores in Successful Run-Chases in IPL History

Lucknow Super Giants beat Chennai Super Kings by six wickets in the 39th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.

LSG scripted history as they became the team to chase down the highest-ever total – 211 in the history of the IPL against CSK at Chepauk. Before this, the record belonged to Punjab Kings.

Marcus Stoinis was the architect of the run chase for Lucknow Super Giants, smashing an unbeaten 124 runs from just 63 balls with the help of 13 boundaries and six maximums.

With this, he has also added to his name in the history of the IPL as he became the batter with the highest individual score in a run chase in IPL history.

The Australian giant broke a 13-year-old record of Paul Valthaty, who scored 120 runs while playing for Kings XI Punjab against CSK back in 2011 in Mohali.
