Sunrisers, batting first, scored 277/3 against Mumbai Indians (MI) in their allotted 20 overs, surpassing the previous record set by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (263/5) against Pune Warriors India in 2013. Lucknow Super Giants became only the third IPL team to surpass the 250-run mark.

Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head achieved the fastest and second-fastest half-centuries, respectively, for the Hyderabad-based franchise. Sharma blasted 63 runs from 23 balls, striking seven sixes and three fours, while Head contributed 62 runs off 24 deliveries, featuring three sixes and nine boundaries.

They dominated all the MI bowlers after SRH lost Mayank Agarwal (11 off 13) early. Following their onslaught, Heinrich Klaasen and Aiden Markram continued the momentum. Klaasen remained unbeaten on 80 runs from 34 balls, hitting seven sixes and four boundaries.

Highest totals in Franchise T20 leagues:

277/3 – SRH v MI, today (IPL)
273/2 – Stars v Hurricanes, 2022 (BBL)
271/3 – Titans v Knights, 2022 (CSA T20)

Markram added 42 runs off 28 deliveries, including one six and two boundaries. Together, they shared a 116-run partnership for the fourth wicket. MI captain Hardik Pandya, Gerald Coetzee, and Piyush Chawla each secured one wicket but were expensive in their bowling spells.

Rajasthan Royals possess the record for the highest successful run-chase in IPL history

Rajasthan Royals (RR) achieved the IPL’s highest successful run-chase by chasing down 224 against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in 2020. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians’ (MI) top successful run-chase in the T20 tournament is 219 against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2021.

Additionally, their highest team total stands at 235/9 against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the same season. As of now, Mumbai Indians were 119/2 after nine overs, with Naman Dhir and Tilak Varma batting.

Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan were dismissed by Pat Cummins and Shahbaz Ahmed for scores of 26 (12) and 34 (13), respectively.
