In the IPL 2024, Sunrisers Hyderabad have made it a habit to break batting records, and they did so again against the Delhi Capitals. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, sent in to bat first, went on a boundary-chasing rampage.
The broken records:
- In just five overs, SRH achieved the fastest-ever team century in Twenty20 cricket.
- The pair amassed an incredible 125 runs, the greatest powerplay score in any T20!
- Travis Head struck a fifty off of sixteen balls, which tied the IPL 2024 record for fastest fifty. He and his opening partner, Sharma, both held the record when they achieved the milestone earlier this season against the Mumbai Indians.
- Travis Head hit 84 runs during the powerplay, and the only player on the IPL individual list to score more than him was Suresh Raina, who previously hit 87.
SRH was only the second side in a T20 to reach 250 three times by the end of the innings. What’s more? They completed everything in a single season.
They matched their previous season’s total of 22 sixes against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, setting another IPL record.
More to come…
