Highest successful chases in IPL playoffs

Gill and Sudharsan extend their imperious run

11 century stands between Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan in just 48 innings – the most by a pair in Men's T20 cricket. They surpassed Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli (63 innings), Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan (75 innings), and Kohli and AB de Villiers (77 innings), who each had ten.

167 runs added by the GT openers made it the highest ever stand in IPL playoffs, bettering 159 between Michael Hussey and Murali Vijay for CSK against RCB in the 2011 final.

These two have become the only pair to put on two century stands in IPL playoffs.

886 runs as a pair for the GT openers in IPL 2026 is the fourth-highest aggregate in a single IPL season. The duo also occupy the third spot, having totalled 912 in 2025.

800-plus partnership runs in an IPL edition (any wicket)

1 – Gill became the first batter to register multiple hundreds in IPL playoffs. He also became the first captain to hit a century in IPL playoffs.

47 balls taken by Gill to his hundred made it the fastest for GT in the IPL, as well as in IPL playoffs overall.

2 – This was Gill's second IPL hundred as a captain; only Virat Kohli (5) and KL Rahul (3) have scored multiple tons while leading.

3 – Sudharsan was dismissed hit-wicket for the third time in his IPL career. No other batter has been dismissed that way more than once in tournament history.

4 – Four batters have aggregated 700-plus runs in two different IPL editions. Gill (2023 and 2026) and Sudharsan (2025 and 2026) are the latest entrants, joining Chris Gayle (2012 and 2013) and Kohli (2016 and 2024).

9 50-plus scores for Sudharsan in IPL 2026, the joint second-most for anyone in an edition.

Sooryavanshi signs off a record-breaking season on a high

440 balls taken by Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to complete 1000 IPL runs made him the fastest to the mark, well clear of Andre Russell (545).

776 runs totalled by the 15-year-old is the fifth-most by anyone in an IPL edition. His runs came at the highest strike-rate (237.3) among all 480 instances of a player scoring 300+ runs in a single edition.

Most runs in an IPL edition

3 – IPL 2026 became the first Men's T20 tournament with three different players aggregating over 700 runs – Sooryavanshi, Gill and Sudharsan. It's also the first time two batters from the same team went past that mark.

135 boundaries (72 sixes, 63 fours) by Sooryavanshi is the highest boundary count for anyone in an IPL edition.

3 dismissals for Sooryavanshi in the 90s is the joint-most by a batter in the IPL.
