Season So Far — 3 Matches, 3 Thrillers:
The IPL 2026 has produced three consecutive record-breaking chases:
Match 1 — RCB Beat SRH by 6 Wickets: RCB chased 202 in just 15.4 overs — the fastest 200+ chase in IPL history. Devdutt Padikkal smashed 61(26), while Virat Kohli scored a stunning 51 off 35 balls, showcasing vintage form. Jacob Duffy was named Player of the Match for his brilliant bowling spell.
Match 2 — MI Beat KKR by 6 Wickets: Mumbai Indians pulled off their highest-ever successful chase, hunting down 221 in 19.1 overs. Rohit Sharma blasted 78(38), while Ryan Rickelton hammered 81(43). The pair added 148 runs off just 71 balls for the opening wicket. Before this match, MI had never chased down a 220+ target and hadn’t won an opening game since 2012.
Match 3 — RR Beat CSK: The much-anticipated Jadeja vs Samson trade match delivered drama as Rajasthan Royals emerged victorious over Chennai Super Kings in Guwahati. Ravindra Jadeja, playing his first match against CSK after over a decade with the franchise, was the centre of attention.
