Highest and lowest totals of IPL teams
The upcoming one is going to be the 13th edition of the league, and the IPL has stayed around long enough to generate ample statistics and records for us to devour and digest.
7. Delhi Capitals (DC)
Highest
The Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) recorded their highest team score against KXIP in the 2011 edition of the IPL. Batting first, the dangerous and destructive duo of Virender Sehwag and David Warner scored an identical 77, the former, however in 35 balls, whereas, the latter in 48 balls, to take their total to 231 for four.
In response, Shaun Marsh slapped 95 from just 46 alongside Adam Gilchrist, who anchored with his 42 from 33. However, the other batsmen in the middle-order failed to stick around after their dismissals and Punjab lost the match to Delhi by 29 runs.
Lowest
The double Ds had a horror outing against the Mumbai Indians in the 2017 edition during a home game. Lendl Simmons (66 from 43) and Kieron Pollard (63 from 35) led MI to post 212 for three after their 20 overs. Coming to chase a humungous target, the DD was rattled by Harbhajan Singh and Karn Sharma, who both picked 3 wickets, and Lasith Malinga’s might.
They were dismissed for a negligible 66 runs in 13.4 overs – the third-lowest total in the IPL history to date. MI won the match by a massive margin of 146 runs i.e. the biggest victory in terms of margin of runs in the history of the tournament.
