IPL 2022 is all about everything unbelievable already. The franchises are battling ferociously on the field to add those 2 points behind their name. Meanwhile, the players are breaking and creating new records probably every other day. In the past, we have seen teams smashing 200+ runs in their innings easily, and we saw the same this year too. Without further ado, let's take a look at the IPL stats of the teams with the most 200+ runs.

Chennai Super Kings

The 4-time winner Chennai Super Kings leads the list of this IPL stats. CSK was going through a rough patch in the first 4 matches of IPL 2022 under the captaincy of Ravindra Jadeja. In their last match against Royal Challengers Bangalore, the team smashed 216 runs and claimed their first win of the series. With this win, CSK made 200+ runs 21 times.

Royal Challengers Bangalore

The term 'unlucky' resembles the most with Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League. Even after having the legends of IPL like Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, and so many more, the team never managed to win the trophy even once. In fact, the record for scoring the highest total in IPL goes to RCB after this code 263 against Pune Warriors in 2013. Till now this franchise has scored 200+ runs 21 times.

Mumbai Indians

The 5-time IPL champion Mumbai Indians sits in the third position of this elite list with 16 200+ scores. This franchise is surely going through some downs this season, but they are undoubtedly one of the best IPL teams in the history of this lucrative league.

Punjab Kings

With the same number of 200+ scores in IPL like Mumbai Indians, Punjab Kings is also present in the list. Even with 16 200+ scores, this franchise never got to win the trophy.

Kolkata Knight Riders

The 2-time IPL Champion Kolkata Knight Riders is also present in this list after they have completed their 13th 200+ scores in IPL. The team is performing really well this time and seating at the second position in the IPL 2022 table at the moment.

With the IPL 2025 playoffs just around the corner, the tension is reaching its peak. Over the years, the Indian Premier League has given fans plenty of memorable moments full of surprises at the fag end of the group stage. Generally, the fans have to wait till the last over of the group stage to know who will qualify for the IPL Playoffs.

From teams that regularly reach the playoffs to underdogs who’ve shocked everyone, the path to the final four has always been full of drama.

Shreyas Iyer (44 wins in 76 games)

Shreyas Iyer is another successful IPL captain who is doing impressively well in the current years of this tournament. Shreyas has been a part of 3 teams as a captain, namely- Delhi Capitals, Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings. 

He led Kolkata Knight Riders to lift the IPL 2024 trophy with his magnificent captaincy throughout the season. He also helped DC reached their first IPL final as a captain in IPL 2019. Shreyas is yet again doing a pretty commendable job as a captain for PBKS in IPL 2025.

Iyer has 44 wins after 76 games under his name as a captain and is set to win more.

IPL 2025 has been a mixture of talents and unpredictable moments. The spotlight always falls on the players who are bought for a high price in the auction.

In 2025 IPL, the spotlight is on two big names that fans were expecting big things from. This article examines Rishabh Pant and Venkatesh Iyer's IPL 2025 disappointments that sparked heated discussions for being expensive flops.

Rishabh Pant's ₹27 crore letdown 

Rishabh Pant, who captained DC in the last season, was picked up by Lucknow Super Giants as the most expensive player in IPL history for ₹27 crore. He is having an extremely disappointing IPL season this year. He scored 110 runs in 10 matches so far, with an average of 12.22 and a strike rate below 100.

LSG has won 5 out of 10 matches, and Pant has gone out for a duck twice in those. Fans expected him to take greater responsibilities this year as a captain, considering the kind of quality batter he is. 

The franchise has managed to win matches with team efforts, but lacked the support from their skipper. Pant scored 63 in 49 balls against CSK but failed to be consistent in the following matches.

Questions have also been raised about his annual contract with BCCI, and we are yet to see a steady comeback after his massive flop. The weight of the price tag definitely appears to have become a heavy burden.

Pant's IPL 2025 batting figures:

• vs DC- 0(6)
• vs SRH- 15(15)
• vs PBKS- 2(5)
• vs MI- 2(6)
• vs CSK- 63(49)
• vs RR- 3(9)
• vs MI- 4(2)

Venkatesh Iyer's costly silence 

Venkatesh Iyer's 2025 season with Kolkata Knight Riders serves as another big example of expensive letdown. He has delivered consistent performance for the franchise in previous years and was a major pillar of contribution for the defending champions. 

KKR reacquired him with a huge ₹23.75 crore with the hopes of him proving to be their key player, but it was all a flop show. The team is currently not doing well in the points table, having 4 wins in 10 matches, and this is the crucial stage where they need him to step out.

Venkatesh scored 142 runs in 10 matches, with an average of 20.29, which makes the question stand strong: was the big price worth it?

IPL 2025 batting figures:

• vs RCB- 6(7)
• vs MI- 3(9)
• vs SRH- 60(29)
• vs LSG- 45(29)
• vs PBKS- 7(4)
• GT- 14(19)
• vs DC- 7(5)
