In IPL 2023, teams regularly posted 200 on the board and more importantly, opponents are chasing it down with gumption. It became impossible to predict what can be considered a safe score as teams believe they can take down any total on the board. 

2024 has also seen quite a few 200-plus runs in an innings. Only one of those targets were successfully chased though - Punjab Kings chased down the target of 200 set to them by Gujarat Titans with a few deliveries to spare.
