Sunrisers Hyderabad left cricket fans in awe with a remarkable performance against Mumbai Indians, smashing a new record for the highest innings total in Indian Premier League history by scoring 277/3 in 20 overs.
Mumbai Indians' tactical mishap, aiming to counter Heinrich Klaasen with Jasprit Bumrah, backfired as Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma unleashed a power-hitting spectacle, with Abhishek setting a new record for the fastest fifty in SRH's history.
In a debut to forget, Kwena Maphaka conceded 0/66 in four overs, while Bumrah emerged as the lone MI bowler to maintain some control.
Head's explosive 62 off 24 balls and Abhishek's aggressive 63 off 23 balls laid the groundwork for Klaasen's unbeaten 80 off 34 balls, securing SRH's mammoth total in Hyderabad.
However, fans of Royal Challengers Bangalore may find solace as their 200 against Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) back in 2016 remains the quickest one in the competition. RCB achieved the milestone in 14.1 overs, whereas SRH took 14.4 overs to reach the mark.
