Highest successful run-chases in IPL history

We will take a look at the highest successful run chases in IPL.One of the beauties of Twenty 20 cricket is that no target is too big or out of reach. With the right temperament and approach, teams have shown that any target can be chased down. Case in point was Kings XI Punjab making easy work of CSKs formidable total of 205. Where does that rank in the IPL?Well, here is the list of top five biggest run-chases in the league.

#5 KKR 200/4 | KXIP 204/2 in 18.2 overs - Kolkata, 2010

Before the pyrotechniques of Glenn Maxwell and David Miller, most Kings XI batsmen relied on solid technique, timing and temperament. After Chris Gayle's rocket-powered innings helped KKR to 200, Punjab were left with a mountain to climb. Mahela Jayawardene, though, showed that there is more to T20 than explosive hitting as he maneuvered his way to a well-deserved century and guided his side home.

Following a blistering start that saw Punjab race to 50 in the fifth over, Mahela and Kumar Sangakkara came to the crease and put together 98 in just 8.5 overs to place their side in the driving seat. By the time Yuvraj Singh came in, it was a mere formality, and his quick-fire 30 helped Punjab chased down the total with 8 wickets to spare.
