Send Push
In yet another dazzling display of power hitting, the Sunrisers Hyderabad ( SRH ) cricket team showcased their prowess in the Powerplay overs, rewriting the record books and leaving their opponents in awe.

Record-Breaking Powerplay Performance
Scoring a staggering 107/0 in the Powerplay, SRH etched their name in history books once again. This remarkable feat stands as the second-highest Powerplay total in T20 cricket history, with SRH's own record of 125/0 against DC in Delhi earlier in the season holding the top spot. Moreover, SRH became the first team ever to breach the 100-run mark in the Powerplay on two separate occasions.

Unprecedented Disparity in Powerplay Totals
The gulf between the Powerplay totals of the two teams in this IPL clash was monumental. While SRH blazed to 107/0, their opponents, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), could only manage 27/2, marking the highest-ever difference of 80 runs in an IPL match. This stark contrast overshadowed the previous record of 69 runs set in a match between GT and RCB.

Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma 's Powerplay Prowess
Travis Head's phenomenal performance within the Powerplay continued to astound cricket enthusiasts. With four 50+ scores to his name within the Powerplay in IPL 2024 , Head emerged as a dominant force in this edition of the league. His partnership with Abhishek Sharma proved formidable, as they blazed through the opposition, setting records with each stroke.

Historic Partnership and Lightning-Fast Scoring
Head and Abhishek's synergy resulted in a record-breaking partnership, taking only 34 balls to amass a century stand, second only to their own 30-ball partnership against DC. Their run rate of 17.27 runs per over ranks as the second-highest for a 100+ stand in IPL history, showcasing their relentless aggression.

SRH's Monumental Milestones
With a total of 167/0 by the halfway mark (9.4 overs), SRH elevated their performance to unprecedented heights, surpassing their own records set earlier in the season. Their relentless pursuit of excellence saw them amass the highest total at the halfway mark of an uninterrupted innings in IPL history.

Breaking Boundaries and Setting New Standards
SRH's relentless onslaught saw them shatter records beyond IPL boundaries. Their tally of 146 sixes in IPL 2024 stands as the highest by any team in a single edition of the league, with Abhishek Sharma leading the charge with 35 maximums.
