Punjab Kings (PBKS) achieved a record-breaking total of 254/7 against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Sunday at Mullanpur. This score marks the highest of the IPL 2026 season so far, presenting a significant challenge for LSG.
Key to PBKS's monumental score were exceptional innings from Priyansh Arya and Cooper Connolly. After a shaky start, the pair built a formidable partnership, with Arya reaching his half-century in 19 balls and Connolly in 34. Their aggressive batting included a remarkable 32-run over conceded by Aiden Markram, the most expensive in LSG's IPL history.
The explosive partnership of 182 runs was eventually broken with the dismissal of Connolly for 87 and Arya for 93. Despite losing wickets in clusters towards the end, PBKS's strong top-order assault secured their commanding total.
