Below is the list of the top five highest team scores in IPL final matches:

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gujarat Titans | 214/4 | 20.0 | Lost | vs CSK | Ahmedabad | 2023 |
| Sunrisers Hyderabad | 208/7 | 20.0 | Won | vs RCB | Bengaluru | 2016 |
| Chennai Super Kings | 205/5 | 20.0 | Won | vs RCB | Chennai | 2011 |
| Mumbai Indians | 202/5 | 20.0 | Won | vs CSK | Eden Gardens | 2015 |
| Kolkata Knight Riders | 200/7 | 19.3 | Won | vs Kings XI Punjab | Bengaluru | 2014 |
These scores speak just how crucial a batting performance is in an IPL final. Interestingly, most of these teams went on to win the title - except Gujarat Titans in 2023 - whose 214 was not enough to stop Chennai Super Kings.
With the 2025 final in Ahmedabad - the same venue where the GT posted their record score - will we witness another high-scoring thriller? Fans can only hope.
On Tuesday, after Shreyas Iyer sent RCB to bat first, Virat Kohli and Co. managed to put up 190 runs on the board in 20 overs and fell short of the 200-run mark.
