Sunrisers Hyderabad have once again etched their name in the record books of the IPL, this time by breaking their own record for the highest team total in the history of the tournament. Previously, Kolkata Knight Riders held the record with a formidable total of 272 against Delhi Capitals. Sunrisers Hyderabad surpassed this feat with a sensational score of 277 against Mumbai Indians.

In their recent encounter against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Sunrisers Hyderabad elevated their batting prowess to new heights, posting a staggering total of 287/3. This remarkable feat now stands as the highest total in IPL history for a single inning.

Led by the dynamic Pat Cummins, they showcased their all-round prowess as they successfully defended their mammoth total against Mumbai Indians. Despite a valiant effort from Mumbai Indians, they stumbled at 262, ultimately handing a 25-run victory to Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Currently positioned fourth on the table with four wins from six matches, the orange jersey’s stellar performance in the IPL has been propelled by standout contributions from their key players. Travis Head’s explosive century, scoring 102 runs, played a crucial role in setting the foundation for their record-breaking total. Additionally, Abdul Samad’s blistering 31* off 10 balls and Heinrich Klaasen’s impressive 67 off 31 deliveries further bolstered Sunrisers Hyderabad’s batting onslaught.

As Sunrisers Hyderabad continue to dominate on the field, their remarkable achievements in the IPL reaffirm their status as a force to be reckoned with in the tournament. With their sights set on further victories, SRH remains a formidable contender in the quest for IPL glory.
