Sunrisers Hyderabad Blitzkrieg: Setting IPL Records Ablaze with Explosive Batting Display

Sunrisers Hyderabad showcased yet another explosive performance in their match against Delhi Capitals, amassing a formidable total of 266/7 in their allotted 20 overs. With this remarkable feat, Sunrisers are solidifying their reputation as one of the most formidable batting sides in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Already having surpassed the highest total in IPL history twice this season, SRH’s batting prowess shows no signs of waning.

In the clash against Delhi Capitals, Sunrisers didn’t just break records; they shattered them. The opening duo of Travis Head (89) and Abhishek Sharma (40) set the stage on fire, plundering an astounding 125 runs without losing a wicket in the powerplay, surpassing the previous record of 103 runs set by Kolkata Knight Riders. Despite facing some setbacks post-powerplay, Shahbaz Ahmed’s unbeaten 59 provided the much-needed impetus to the Sunrisers’ innings, enabling them to set another imposing total.

This mammoth score of 266/7 now ranks as the fourth-highest total in the history of the IPL. Here’s a glimpse of the top 5 scores:

  1. SRH 287/3 vs RCB, IPL 2024
  2. SRH 277/3 vs MI, IPL 2024
  3. KKR 272/7 vs DC, IPL 2024
  4. SRH 266/7 vs DC, IPL 2024
  5. RCB 263/5 vs PWI, IPL 2013

In addition to their exceptional total, Sunrisers Hyderabad also set a new record for the most sixes in an IPL innings, smashing 22 maximums against Delhi Capitals. This achievement not only equaled their own record from a previous match against RCB but also showcased their dominance with the bat. Here’s a breakdown of the top innings with the highest number of sixes:

  1. 22 – SRH vs RCB, IPL 2024
  2. 22 – SRH vs DC, IPL 2024
  3. 21 – RCB vs PWI, IPL 2013
  4. 20 – RCB vs GL, IPL 2016
  5. 20 – DC vs GL, IPL 2017

Furthermore, Sunrisers Hyderabad joined Surrey in the list for most 250+ scores in franchise cricket, having breached the mark thrice in the ongoing IPL season. This accomplishment places them at the forefront alongside the English side, with Royal Challengers Bangalore and other English teams following closely behind.

Sunrisers’ relentless batting onslaught continues to captivate fans and reaffirm their status as a force to be reckoned with in the IPL arena.
