Punjab Cricket Association Stadium T20 Records: Mohali Stadium IPL Records and Highest Innings Totals

Indian Premier League will return to the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium for the first time in almost four years with the second match of the ongoing 16th season to be played between Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders here tomorrow.

With the COVID-19 pandemic behind us now and a home-away IPL format calling shots at the moment, Mohali will be hosting its first T20 since Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2022-23 was played here a few months ago.

Having played 56 out of the 104 T20s at this venue, hosts Kings have won 30 and lost 26 matches thus far. While they have a praiseworthy average run rate of 8.42 at this stadium, their head-to-head record against Knight Riders isn’t very pleasing.

Kolkata, on the other hand, have won four and lost three out of their seven matches in this city. Having said that, the visitors have an average run rate of 8.43 here.

Highest Innings Totals in Mohali T20s (updated)

Score	Overs	Team	Opposition	Year
257/5	20	Lucknow Super Giants	Punjab Kings	2023
240/5	20	Chennai Super Kings	Kings XI Punjab	2008
221/3	20	Kings XI Punjab	Rajasthan Royals	2008
215/5	20	Kings XI Punjab	Northern Districts	2014
215/2	20	Karnataka	Maharashtra	2022
211/4	19.1	India	Sri Lanka	2009

Teams have been able to surpass the 200-run mark 13 times at this stadium. Eight out of these 11 instances have come in the IPL.

The above mentioned sixth-highest innings total is also the highest successful T20 run-chase at the PCA Stadium. It was over 13 years ago when individual half-centuries from Virender Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh had powered India to seal a 207-run chase with 6 wickets and five deliveries remaining in the match.

While both the 200-run successful run-chase at this stadium have come in international matches, PBKS hold the record for the highest successful IPL chase at their home ground. It was almost 11 years ago when Punjab had chased down a 191-run target against Deccan Chargers in a last-ball thriller featuring two local boys in Gurkeerat Singh Mann and Manpreet Singh Gony.
