Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) broke their own record of the highest team totals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) after some insane power-hitting in the match against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), their last match of IPL 2025.
Heinrich Klaasen was the chief architect of this destruction with his unbeaten ton, finishing on 105* off 39 balls. Apart from the Proteas, SRH opener Travis Head also put up an explosive display with a quickfire 76 off 40. balls.
In the process, SRH went past their previous record of 277, posting 278 for 3 against KKR tonight (May 25). SRH now dominates the charts of highest team totals – taking the first four spot in the top 5.
Here’s a look at the Top 5 Highest IPL Totals in history:
| Team | Total | Opponent | Venue | Season |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) | 287/3 | vs RCB | Bengaluru | IPL 2024 |
| Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) | 286/6 | vs RR | Hyderabad | IPL 2025 |
| Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) | 278/3 | vs KKR | Delhi | IPL 2025 |
| Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) | 277/3 | vs MI | Hyderabad | IPL 2024 |

Earlier this season, SRH slammed the second-highest total in IPL history, amassing 286 for 3 against the Rajasthan Royals. In that game, SRH reached 200 in just 14.1 overs, equalling their own record for the fastest 200 in IPL history. Ishan Kishan scored a blazing century off just 45 balls, and with powerful contributions from Travis Head, Heinrich Klaasen, and Nitish Reddy, SRH turned their IPL 2025 opener into a six-hitting festival.
SRH crossed the 280-run mark in style, rewriting history books and bettering their own record as well set just last season.
