The record for the highest run chase in an IPL Final belongs to Kolkata Knight Riders. Led by Gautam Gambhir, the three-time IPL champions managed to chase down 200 runs against the Punjab Kings, then Kings XI Punjab, in 2014. Manish Pandey led the chase then, slamming 94 runs off 50 balls.
Other Notable Chases

171: CSK vs. Gujarat Titans (GT), 2023 final.
164: Rajasthan Royals (RR) vs. CSK, 2008 final.
