The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 gave the cricket aficionados some exhilarating moments that will stand the test of time. Apart from records being broken left, right, and centre, the intensity even from teams that had been eliminated with a few games to spare was always high.
The competition between teams was so high that the last spot in the playoffs was decided on the final day of the league phase. For fans who love high-scoring cricket, IPL 2026 had it all. This year’s tournament made the record for the most 200-plus totals, successful 200-plus chases, most boundaries, most sixes, and many more.
Here are the top 5 most memorable moments of IPL 2026
5. Fight till the finish
While the top three playoff spots were sealed pretty early, the fight for the last position continued till the very end. In the last week of the league phase of the tournament, five teams – Rajasthan Royals, Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Chennai Super Kings – were in contention.
Eventually on the last day of the league stage, the Royals and the Knights were the teams remaining in contention. Riyan Parag‘s men won the penultimate fixture against the Mumbai Indians in the afternoon, which made the Knights’ evening game versus the Delhi Capitals inconsequential.
