IPL 2024: Sunrisers Hyderabad made IPL history as they scored the highest-ever total in the league’s history – 277/3 against Mumbai Indians

In a highly anticipated match between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Mumbai Indians, Abhishek Sharma stole the spotlight with his blistering batting performance. The match, which took place at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, witnessed Sharma smashing a 16-ball fifty, breaking the record set by Travis Head for the fastest half-century by an SRH batter.

Sharma’s aggressive innings laid the foundation for a record-breaking total for SRH, with in-form batsman Heinrich Klaasen contributing significantly with a quickfire 80 off just 34 balls. Their stellar performances propelled SRH to a formidable total of 277-3 in their allotted 20 overs, setting a daunting target for Mumbai Indians to chase.

Despite the efforts of Mumbai Indians’ key bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, who failed to make an impact, SRH dominated the proceedings with their aggressive batting display. Debutant Kwena Maphaka opened the bowling attack for Mumbai Indians but was unable to contain the onslaught from SRH’s batsmen.

SRH’s star player, Travis Head, welcomed Maphaka with a flurry of boundaries, setting the tone for the innings. However, Mumbai Indians’ skipper, Hardik Pandya, made a crucial breakthrough by dismissing Mayank Agarwal early in the innings.

Despite Mumbai Indians making a single change to their playing XI, the formidable total set by SRH posed a significant challenge for the defending champions to chase down. With Sharma’s explosive innings setting the stage alight, the match promised to be an exciting spectacle for cricket fans worldwide.
