Royal Challengers Bengaluru hold the record for highest team score in IPL, having achieved the feat in the 2013 season in a league stage match against now defunct Pune Warriors India at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

On a record-breaking 23 April 2013, RCB rode on Chris Gayle's unbeaten 175 off 66 balls to register the biggest total in Indian Premier League history - 263/5 in 20 overs. Gayle then returned with the bowling figures of 2 for 5 to seal a 130-run win for the Bengaluru-based side.   While that record seemed impossible to break or even get close to in a T20 match, Lucknow Super Giants almost surpassed that tally in the 2023 season when they rode on fifties from Marcus Stoinis (72 off 40) and Kyle Mayers (54 off 24) to set a total of 257/5 against Punjab Kings in Mohali. From 184/3 in 15 overs, LSG were well on their way to become the highest scorers in IPL, having scored 51 runs in the next three overs thanks to another cameo from Nicholas Pooran, but Sam Curran and Arshdeep Singh kind of controlled the run-flow in the end. Before LSG's 257, RCB, Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings (twice) came close to that record total, but had to settle for 240 plus scores in the end.
