PBKS Crumbles: Most 200+ Totals Conceded Record Shattered
17 May
Summary
- Punjab Kings conceded a record 46th 200-plus total in T20 history.

- PBKS bowlers struggled significantly against RCB's strong batting lineup.
Punjab Kings endured a difficult outing on Sunday, conceding 222 runs to Royal Challengers Bengaluru and setting new T20 records for unwanted achievements. The team's bowling attack struggled, contributing to their 46th instance of conceding a 200-plus total in men's T20 cricket, the highest by any team.
This latest match also pushed Punjab Kings to concede nine 200-plus scores in IPL 2026 alone, a record for a single T20 competition. For captain Shreyas Iyer, the game marked a statistical low as he now holds the record for the most 200-plus totals conceded under his captaincy in men's T20s, with 31 such occurrences.
RCB's batting lineup, led by Virat Kohli's 58 and Devdutt Padikkal's 45, built a strong foundation. Venkatesh Iyer then accelerated the scoring with an unbeaten 73 off 40 balls, supported by Tim David's quick cameo. This aggressive batting display deepened PBKS' playoff race concerns.
