Sunrisers Hyderabad Made Second Highest Score In IPL History

Ishan Kishan’s sensational 106 off just 47 balls, featuring 6 sixes and 11 fours, powered Sunrisers Hyderabad to the second-highest score in IPL history—286/7 in 20 overs—against Rajasthan Royals at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, Hyderabad in IPL 2025. They fell just one run short of their all-time highest total, achieved last season.

In his debut for Hyderabad, Kishan registered his maiden IPL century in a career spanning 10 years. Batting first, Hyderabad got off to a flying start with Abhishek Sharma (24 off 11) and Travis Head (67 off 31) adding 45 runs in 3 overs. After Abhishek’s dismissal, Kishan and Head built an 85-run stand off just 38 balls. Kishan later partnered with Nitish Reddy (30 off 15) for a 72-run third-wicket stand, setting the stage for Heinrich Klaasen, who smashed a brisk 34 off 14 balls.

Among Rajasthan’s bowlers, Jofra Archer bore the brunt of Hyderabad’s onslaught, conceding a record 76 runs in 4 overs—the most expensive spell in IPL history.

Hyderabad’s fearless batting signaled their intent for the season: relentless aggression and boundary-hitting dominance to shake the body language of opponent bowlers.
