SRH have continued their ultra-aggressive approach from last season.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) started their Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) campaign in explosive fashion, smashing the second-highest team total in the history of the tournament.
The IPL 2024 runners-up shattered their own record to post 286 for 6 in 20 overs against the Rajasthan Royals, powered by a cracking century from Ishan Kishan (106 off 47) and a quickfire fifty off Travis Head (67 off 31).
SRH have continued their ultra-aggressive approach from last season where they shattered the record for highest team totals twice, and it now seems that a score of 300 doesn’t look that far-fetched.
Echoing on the same lines, former SRH star and coach Dale Steyn predicted the opponents against whom the Orange outfit can breach the towering benchmark.
The former Proteas pacer took to his social media account on X (formerly Twitter) and suggested that on April 17, the feat might be achieved. Notably, on that date, SRH will be taking on five-time IPL winners Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede.
