3 teams to win most run-chases in the final over in an IPL season

The Indian Premier League (IPL) has seen some of the most memorable matches in the history of the sport. There have been several instances where the matches have gone right down the wire and have forced the fans to stick around their seats. On that note, let us take a look at three teams who have won the most run-chases in the final over in the same IPL season.

3. Gujarat Titans (2022)

New entrants, Gujarat Titans (GT) have shocked everyone with their performances in the 15th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Under the leadership of star all-rounder Hardik Pandya, the Titans have performed brilliantly in its first season. Gujarat have played nine matches this season and have won eight matches. To note, five times out of eight matches, the team has won in the last over of the match after some spectacular ball hitting from the likes of David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, and Pandya as well. 

2. Rajasthan Royals (2019)

Rajasthan Royals (RR) was successful in winning the title in the first season of IPL. However, since then, their performances have not been up to the mark. In IPL 2019, under the captaincy of Indian batter Ajinkya Rahane and Australia’s Steve Smith, Rajasthan played 14 matches and could win only five matches. While the team had to face defeat in nine matches, all of their victories came in the last over during their chase.

1. Chennai Super Kings (2018)

Chennai Super Kings, under the leadership of MS Dhoni, won their third title by defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the final of IPL 2018. The Yellow Army won nine out of 14 matches in the league stage. The Super Kings chased down the target five times and won in the last over.
