Sunrisers Hyderabad set a new benchmark for the highest team total in IPL history. During the 68th match of IPL 2025 held at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, SRH amassed an enormous score of 278/3 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
After winning the toss, SRH captain Pat Cummins chose to bat first. Opener Travis Head launched a fierce assault on the KKR bowling attack, scoring 76 runs off just 40 balls. He was brilliantly supported by Heinrich Klaasen, who remained unbeaten with a blazing 105 runs off 39 deliveries, propelling SRH to their huge total.
This score marks the third-highest team total in IPL history—and notably, the top two records also belong to Sunrisers Hyderabad. The highest ever IPL team total remains 287/3, achieved by SRH against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in IPL 2024.
