SRH vs MI first innings highlights: Showcasing exceptional display of power-hitting and aggressive batting, fiery fifties from Travis Head (62 runs off 24 balls), Abhishek Sharma (63 runs off 23 balls), Aiden Markaram (42 runs not out of 28 balls) and Heinrich Klaasen (80 runs not out off 34 balls) powered one-time IPL winners Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to biggest total in Indian Premier League (IPL) history.

Hyderabad batters were merciless tonight.

The feat was attained during Hyderabad’s Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match on Wednesday (March 27) against Mumbai Indians. Asked by five-time IPL winners Mumbai Indians (MI) to bat first, Hyderabad reached 277 for loss of three wickets vs MI.

A day for RCB fans to forget as their record for the highest innings total has now been broken. The franchise posted 263 runs in 2013 vs Pune Warriors India in Bengaluru.

Apart from veteran pacer Jasprit Bumrah (0/36), all other Mumbai Indians bowlers ended up leaking over 10 runs per over. U-19 star Kwena Maphaka of South Africa, playing first-ever Indian Premier League (IPL) match of his career and for MI, returned with 0/66 — most expensive bowling returns on debut.

Top three highest team totals in IPL: 277/3 by SRH against MI in Hyderabad, 2024 | 263/5 by RCB against Pune Warriors India in Bengaluru, 2013 | 257/5 by Lucknow Super Giants against PBKS in Mohali, 2023.
