It was raining sixes in Hyderabad! When a team scores 246 runs and still loses by 31 runs, you know something out of this world has happened. Out of the 12 players that batted, 7 had a strike rate of over 200. Travis Head broke the record for the fastest 50 by an SRH player. Just half an hour later, Abhishek Sharma bettered that record in the SRH vs MI match.
38—that’s how many maximums were hit today, which is an IPL record. But the biggest record of them all is the most runs scored in the match. Exactly a year ago, South Africa and the West Indies soared to new heights, raking up 517 runs combined. The Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad have one-upped that record by scoring 523 runs at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
