Sunrisers Hyderabad make history
Heinrich Klaasen’s knock propelled Sunrisers Hyderabad to the third highest total (278/3) in IPL history. SRH openers Abhishek Sharma (32 off 16) and Travis Head (76 off 40) gave them the flying start before the headline act of Klaasen.

SRH – 287/3 vs RCB, 2024 (Bengaluru)

SRH – 277/3 vs MI, 2024 (Hyderabad)
KKR – 272/7 vs DC, 2024 (Visakhapatnam)
SRH missed their own record by just 10 runs and the 13th over bowled by Sunil Narine proved to be a significant one. KKR legend conceded just one run and also dismissed Travis Head. If not for Narine, KKR would have conceded the highest total in the league’s history.
