The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have once again rewritten the record books during the 60th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Hosting the Gujarat Titans (GT) at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata, the KKR batting unit unleashed absolute carnage to post a monumental total of 247/2 in their 20 overs.
Facing a lethal Gujarat Titans bowling attack, the Knight Riders capitalized on the fast outfield and batting-friendly conditions of Eden Gardens to dictate the tempo from the very first over. The major contributors in the run pile up were Finn Allen who struck 93 of 35 ball smashing 10 massive sixes . After he departed, the matters were settled by Angkrish Raghuvanshi who scored 82* off 44 balls and Cameron Green scoring a quick-fire 52*.
Overall KKR batters scored 22 sixes in the innings. By piling up 247 runs for the loss of just two wickets, KKR not only secured their third-highest total in franchise history but also set a brand new benchmark against their opponents. This massive innings now stands as the highest team total ever recorded against the Gujarat Titans in the IPL, surpassing the previous record of 243/5 set by the Punjab Kings (PBKS) at Ahmedabad in 2025.
