Kolkata Knight Riders posted a total of 261/6 in 20 overs and set a target of 262 for Punjab Kings to chase. Many would've thought it would be impossible for PBKS to chase down the target. However, the visitors pulled off a surprise by achieving the target in 18.4 overs and making it to history book of records for the highest run-chase in T20 cricket.

Jonny Bairstow (108*), Shashank Singh (68*) and Prabhsimran Sharma (54) were the star batters in the Punjab Kings' record chase in T20 history.

The record for the highest run-chase was previously held by South Africa, who chased down 259-run target set by West Indies in March 2023. Now, Punjab Kings is now the proud owner of the highest run-chase in the history of T20 cricket.
