The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) surpassed their own record for the highest-ever Indian Premier League total. Their 287/3 against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium bagged them a notable 25-run win on Apr.15
Travis head’s batting onslaught with a remarkable century, scoring 102 runs off just 41 balls, propelled SRH to a higher total than their previous record of 277 set last month. As a result, the mammoth total not only broke IPl records but also marks the highest ever total in franchise cricket.

In spite of RCB's strong second-innings performance started by Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis and Dinesh Karthik's tenacious 81-run innings, the Sunrisers' bowling attack led by Pat Cummins prevented RCB from reaching their target. Despite that, their total of 262/7 while chasing 287 stands as the highest total ever in the second innings.
A 1⃣0⃣8⃣m monster!
