In a sensational display of power hitting, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) clinched a remarkable 25-run victory against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in an electrifying IPL 2024 encounter at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Dominance:
SRH asserted their dominance early on, setting a monumental record by notching up the highest team total in IPL history. With a breathtaking performance, they amassed a staggering 287/3 in their allotted 20 overs, surpassing their own record set just days ago.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Valiant Effort:
Facing a daunting target of 288, RCB put up a commendable fight. Led by Dinesh Karthik’s explosive 83 off 35 balls, they showcased resilience but ultimately fell short, finishing at 262/7.
Record-breaking Feats:

SRH and RCB collectively etched their names into the annals of cricket history by amassing a jaw-dropping total of 549 runs in just 40 overs. This extraordinary feat marks the highest aggregate score in the history of T20 cricket.
2. Travis Head’s Blitzkrieg:
Travis Head emerged as the shining star of the match, obliterating records with his scintillating century off a mere 39 balls.
