The IPL has witnessed breathtaking dominance in its 18-year run, with 13 matches decided by 100+ runs. But the top five are legendary blowouts, where batting juggernauts overwhelmed feeble chases. Royal Challengers Bengaluru dominates this elite list with three entries.
Leading the pack is Mumbai Indians’ 146-run rout of Delhi Daredevils on May 6, 2017. MI’s 212 for 3 proved insurmountable; DD’s batsmen capitulated at 66 all out in 13.4 overs, handing MI the biggest IPL win by runs.
In second place, RCB unleashed 248 for 3 against Gujarat Lions on May 14, 2016, securing a 144-run victory. GL’s 104 in 18.4 overs was no match for RCB’s explosive top order, led by Kohli’s brilliance.
Kolkata Knight Riders’ iconic 140-run smash of RCB came on April 18, 2008. Scoring 222 for 3, KKR watched RCB collapse to 82 in 15.1 overs – a performance that defined their early aggression.
RCB’s third entry: a 138-run pummeling of Kings XI Punjab on May 6, 2015. 226 for 3 reduced KXIP to 88 in 13.4 overs, with Gayle and de Villiers in destructive form.
Finally, RCB’s 263 for 5 versus Pune Warriors on April 23, 2013, ended in a 130-run win as Pune scored 133 for 9. These games remind fans why IPL batting fireworks often lead to historic routs.
