SRH's 287/3 – The Record-Breaking Innings
On March 26, 2024, Sunrisers Hyderabad posted 287/3 against RCB in Bengaluru – the highest team score in IPL history. Travis Head (102 off 41 balls) and Heinrich Klaasen (79* off 34) destroyed the RCB bowling attack. SRH came close to breaching 300 multiple times during the 2024 season, signaling a new era of hyper-aggressive T20 batting.
The Lowest Score – RCB's 49 All Out
On the other extreme, RCB were bowled out for just 49 against KKR in Kolkata in 2017. It remains the lowest team total in IPL history and a stark reminder that T20 cricket can be as brutal with the ball as with the bat.
Highest Match Aggregate – 549 Runs
The highest combined total in a single IPL match is 549 runs, scored during the RCB vs SRH encounter in Bengaluru in 2017. RCB posted 262/7, and SRH chased it down with 287 runs combined between both innings, making it the most runs-heavy match in IPL history.
Biggest Victory Margins
- Largest win by runs: 146 runs – MI beat DC in Delhi (2017)
- Highest successful chase: 262 – PBKS chased down KKR's total in Kolkata (2024)
- Fastest chase (by balls remaining): 87 balls – MI beat KKR in Mumbai (2008)
Will 300 Be Breached in IPL 2026?
With SRH's sustained assault on 300 during 2024 and the batting revolution continuing, the flat pitches and smaller boundaries at certain venues make a 300+ total increasingly likely. Teams like SRH and KKR have the firepower in their IPL 2026 squads to make history.
