I still remember watching that game in Bengaluru. The target kept climbing, the pressure kept building, and yet Lucknow Super Giants just didn’t look bothered. 200 plus chases are supposed to feel tense, messy, chaotic. But that night, it felt like they were chasing 150.
That’s probably the thing with LSG. They don’t just chase big totals, they make it look strangely normal.
And their best chases? They’re worth looking at properly.
Back in April 2023, chasing 213 against RCB, LSG pulled off something special. Chinnaswamy is known for big scores, but chasing over 200 there still takes serious nerve. One quiet over and the game flips. Somehow, they stayed in control the whole time.
And then came that Chennai game in 2024. Marcus Stoinis just went into a different zone. His unbeaten 124 wasn’t just powerful, it was smart. He didn’t rush it. He waited, picked gaps, and then suddenly the game was gone.
If you’ve followed players topping the most sixes in IPL history, you’ll get why innings like that stand out. It’s not just hitting, it’s timing.
What surprised me more is how LSG kept repeating it. That 211 chase wasn’t a one-time thing. They did it before in 2022 against the same team. Different year, same confidence.
Then you look at the 191 chase against Punjab in 2025. Not as flashy, but honestly, these are sometimes tougher. The pitch slows down, bowlers get variations right, and suddenly scoring becomes awkward. Still, LSG handled it.
The 183 against Hyderabad? Another clean chase. No drama. Just good cricket.
And when you compare it with teams posting crazy totals like in this KKR high-score breakdown, it makes sense why chasing has become such an important skill.
Of course, bowlers will always have tough days in matches like these. Even the names from the most expensive IPL bowlers list get hit sometimes. That’s just T20 cricket.
But LSG take advantage of those moments better than most teams.
What I like personally is how calm they look. No panic. No rush. Just steady progress and then a sudden push when it matters.
That 213 chase might still be their biggest, but it doesn’t feel like their limit. Not even close.
Honestly, if they keep playing like this, we’re probably going to see something even bigger soon.
