The SRH batting trio hit quickfire half-centuries as SRH posted the higest-ever total in the Indian Premier League history.

Riding on blistering half-centuries from Heinrich Klassen, Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head, Sunrisers Hyderabad re-wrote several record books in the Indian Premier League match against Mumbai Indians. SRH enthralled the fans on their first home game of the season as they posted the highest-ever total in the IPL history – 277/3 at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad.

Heinrich Klaasen (80*) was the top-scorer for SRH against Mumbai Indians.

It was a forgettable outing for MI bowlers as Hardik Pandya’s decision to bowl first backfired badly for the visitors courtesy a blazing start by Head, who was playing his first IPL match since the 2017 edition.
