SunRisers Hyderabad have scripted history once again. After setting the record for the highest team total in the 17-year-old history of IPL against Mumbai Indians, the SunRisers Hyderabad broke their own record at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Monday. In a match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, SunRisers Hyderabad scored 287/3 in 20 overs – which is the highest ever score in T20 franchise cricket. This IPL has now seen the top three highest scores in the history of the tournament.

RH’s Travis Head came out all guns blazing as he scored his first IPL ton in just 39 deliveries – the fourth fastest century in the league.

On a M Chinnaswamy pitch, that looked like a batting paradise, Sunrisers Hyderabad openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma went on the charge. With Maxwell missing from their squad, RCB gave the new ball to offspinner Will Jacks to try and take it away from the left-handers, who bowled a decent over for RCB.

Reece Topley, bowling the second over of Power-play, was taken down for 20 runs. Head started with a boundary, maximum, and then Abhishek ended the over with a maximum. The fifth over of the day was bowled by Lockie Ferguson and his second and third balls were both dispatched for sixes by Head; the first a clip over square leg, and the next a swat over midwicket. Head ended the over with a four by going over mid-off.
