5 Highest Team Totals at Wankhede Stadium
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) hold the record for the biggest IPL total at Wankhede after scoring 235/1 against MI in the 2015 season. The giant total would have delighted RCB faithful, who would have predicted that AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli would score big knocks on online cricket betting sites.
Here are the five biggest innings totals at Wankhede Stadium:
235/1 (RCB vs MI – IPL 2015):
After choosing to bat first against MI, RCB lost Chris Gayle early. No one would have expected that RCB wouldn’t lose another wicket in the entire innings. But it happened as Virat Kohli (82* off 50) and AB de Villiers (133* off 59) shared an unbeaten stand worth 215 runs, propelling RCB to 235. The home team was restricted to 196/7, losing the match by 39 runs.
234/5 (MI vs DC – IPL 2024)
MI batters were on song when they hosted Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 2024 season. Rishabh Pant won the toss and opted to bowl first in Mumbai. Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan made an 80-run stand, while Tim David, Hardik Pandya, and Romario Shepherd played valuable knocks to take the Mumbai outfit to 234. In reply, DC fell short of the target by 29 runs.
230/3 (KXIP vs MI – IPL 2017):
Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) and MI played out a high-scoring thriller in the 2017 season. After being asked to bat first, KXIP batters racked up 230 runs in their 20 overs. Wriddhiman Saha made an unbeaten 93, while the then-KXIP skipper Glenn Maxwell and Martin Guptill impressed with quickfire knocks. MI had a daunting task. They came agonizingly close to a victory, suffering a seven-run defeat.
226/6 (KXIP vs CSK – IPL 2014):
It was the Eliminator in the 2014 season, and KXIP won the game to march into the final in style, eliminating CSK. The Mohali-based outfit posted a mammoth 226/6 thanks to Virender Sehwag’s century. Manan Vohra and Virender Sehwag, too, chipped in with 30-plus scores. CSK made a blazing start, thanks to Suresh Raina’s 25-ball 87. However, they lost the match by 24 runs.
223/6 (MI vs KXIP – IPL 2017)
Though MI lost to KXIP at home by seven runs in the 2017 season, it remains one of Wankhede’s highest IPL totals. In a mammoth chase of 231, MI had to score more than ten runs per over. Lendl Simmons took on the challenge as he smashed a fifty. Parthiv Patel helped him on the other end, as the opening stand was worth 99 runs in just 52 balls. Though Kieron Pollard and Hardik Pandya stitched together a half-century stand, it wasn’t enough for the hosts.
