The Punjab Kings (PBKS) set a new record in the IPL 2026 by posting the highest team total of 254/7 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur. Openers Priyansh Arya and Cooper Connolly put on a sensational 184-run partnership, with Arya scoring 93 off 37 balls and Connolly adding 87 off 46. This performance eclipsed the previous season-high of 250/3 set by Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Despite a middle-order wobble, late hits from Shashank Singh helped PBKS reach the record-breaking total. The game highlighted the evolution of high team totals in the IPL, with scores reaching the nearly unreachable 280s in recent years. Aiden Markram’s nightmare over, where he conceded 32 runs, and Prince Yadav’s impressive bowling figures of 2/25 were also notable moments in the match. The explosive batting display by Punjab Kings left a lasting impact on the IPL 2026 season.
