Table of Contents
Unpredictability is the hallmark of this beautiful game. And it is safe to say that the unpredictability has increased by leaps and bounds with the advent of T20. With just 20 overs to play for a team, the players go all out right from the word go.
Not surprisingly, they succeed on some occasions and suffer a failure on some. As a result, they end up creating some memorable records as well as dubious records.
So here we are taking a look at high as well as low of each team in the history of the Indian Premier League.
We are presenting to you the highest and lowest total of every IPL team so far:
1.??Chennai Super Kings:
The two-time IPL champions posted their highest score so far in 2010 when they scored 246 against Rajasthan Royals. Murali Vijay had starred with the bat, scoring 127 off just 57 balls. Albie Morkel had also played a crucial knock of 62.
The Chennai-based outfit were dismissed for their lowest score when Mumbai Indians bowled them out for 79 while defending a modest 139 at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai.
