NEW DELHI: Big scores have been the trend in the Indian Premier League 2025, and Punjab Kings (PBKS) continued that pattern by registering the highest-ever T20 total at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The visitors posted a staggering 243/5 against Gujarat Titans (GT) on Tuesday, setting a new benchmark at the venue.
The previous highest in Ahmedabad was India's 234/4 against New Zealand in 2023.
It also sets a new record for the highest total against Gujarat Titans, eclipsing Delhi Capitals' 224/4 in Delhi last year. Whereas, it was Punjab's second-highest IPL total, behind their 262/2 against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens last season.
