Led by Jonny Bairstow's remarkable century, Punjab Kings set a new world record for the highest run chase in T20 cricket history by surpassing the 262-run target set by Kolkata Knight Riders with eight wickets in hand during the IPL on Friday. Punjab Kings surpassed South Africa's 259/4 against the West Indies in March of last year. In the IPL, the previous record was held by Rajasthan Royals for chasing down 224 against KKR at Eden Gardens, matching the record they had set against Punjab Kings (formerly known as Kings XI Punjab) in 2020 in Sharjah.
