IPL 2025: SRH Create History, Own Top 3 Highest Team Totals in IPL History

Pat Cummins-led Sunrisers Hyderabad created history with their sensational batting performance against Rajasthan Royals in the second IPL 2025 game. Once again, the SRH batters completely outmuscled the bowling attack of the opponents and posted a mammoth total on the board, which looks near-impossible to chase down in the second innings.

RR’s stand-in skipper Riyan Parag won the toss and asked the orange outfits to bat first; batting first, the hosts didn’t give any chance to make a comeback for the RR bowlers in the entire first innings. SRH smashed 286 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in the allotted 20 overs courtesy of a blistering century scored by young wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan. Besides him,

Travis Head also played a swashbuckling knock of 67 runs off just 31 balls. 
With that said, here we’ll have a look at the historic achievement that is now associated with the name of the Sunrisers Hyderabad.

SRH become first team to own top three highest team totals in IPL history

With their second 280+ total and the overall second 280+ total in the history of IPL, SRH have now become the first team in the history of the tournament to own the top 3 highest team totals in the entire 17-year-long journey of the tournament.

The highest team total in the history of the Indian Premier League was also scored by SRH last year in IPL 2024 when they smashed 287 runs for the loss of just 3 wickets in the allotted 20 overs against RCB in the 30th match of the tournament. The score of 286 runs for the loss of 6 wickets they scored today is the second-highest team total in the tournament history.

Besides that, SRH batters belted the Mumbai Indians bowlers last year in IPL 2024’s eighth game, when they smashed 277 runs for the loss of just 3 wickets in the allotted 20 overs.

Interestingly, the only team other than SRH in the top five highest team totals in IPL history is KKR; the defending champions scored 272 runs for the loss of 7 wickets against DC in the 16th game of IPL 2024. Following KKR, SRH are again there on number five with the score of 266 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in the allotted 20 overs, they scored in the 35th game of IPL 2024.
