IPL 2026: 264 Falls Short as Punjab Kings Script Record Chase Against Delhi Capitals

Rahul reached 6 IPL centuries as Delhi Capitals built 213 and left Punjab Kings facing a steep chase, officials said.

  • On Saturday, Punjab Kings pulled off the highest successful run chase in IPL history, hunting down 265 to beat Delhi Capitals by six wickets at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
  • Delhi Capitals had earlier posted a mammoth 264/2, their highest-ever team total, fueled by KL Rahul's historic unbeaten 152 off 67 balls and Nitish Rana's 91 off 44 balls.
  • Punjab Kings' Shashank Singh dropped KL Rahul on 12, a costly error that proved decisive; Rahul's century equalled Chris Gayle's record of six IPL centuries.
  • Driven by Prabhsimran Singh's 76 off 26 balls and skipper Shreyas Iyer's unbeaten 71, Punjab Kings secured victory with seven balls to spare.
  • The audacious chase maintained Punjab Kings' unbeaten run in IPL 2026, underscoring the evolving nature of T20 cricket where even 260-plus totals are no longer safe.
