SRH Breaks Another Record with Fifth-Highest Power-Play Total in IPL History
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) picked up right where they left off last season, continuing their explosive form and shattering yet another milestone in the ongoing IPL 2025 clash against Rajasthan Royals (RR). Their dynamic openers set the tone early, leaving RR’s bowlers searching for answers.
SRH’s Powerplay Destruction
Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head stormed out of the gates, matching each other stroke for stroke, amassing 45 runs in just 19 balls. Abhishek fell after a big hit, but the carnage didn’t stop. Ishan Kishan joined the party, and alongside Head, he ensured the run-fest continued. By the end of six overs, SRH had piled up 94/1.
This stunning display marked the fifth highest power-play score in IPL history, surpassing Punjab Kings’ 93/1 against KKR last season. Notably, SRH already owns the top two spots on this prestigious list, both achieved in IPL 2024.
