IPL 2024 Highlights of RCB vs. SRH: The Royal Challengers Bengaluru supporters would have felt encouraged after their captain, Faf du Plessis, decided to bowl instead of giving up a toss. But Sunrisers Hyderabad produced what has to be the most amazing power hitting performance in IPL history. They set a new record for the highest ever IPL score, setting a 287/3.
Because of how badly Sunrisers Hyderabad started, local supporters may have given up on the game before it had even lasted ten overs. Travis Head scored a half-century within the powerplay, driving a 108-run opening partnership in only 49 balls. The opening partnership ended when Abhishek Sharma fell to Reece Topley in the eighth over, scoring 34 off 22. Heinrich Klaasen was moved up to No. 3 by SRH, indicating their intention to keep up the bloodshed. The slaughter continued unabated as Klaasen hammered 67 off of 31 balls. After that, Abdul Samad smashed an undefeated 37 off of 10 balls faced, helping SRH surpass their own record of 277.
In the pursuit, RCB got off to a great start, even outscored SRH by 79 runs during the powerplay. While Faf du Plessis hit 62 in 28 balls, Virat Kohli smacked 42 in 20 balls. However, it was Dinesh Karthik, who scored 83 off of 35 balls, who actually ensured that the RCB were not humiliated at home. Because of all of these efforts, RCB finished with a score of 262/7, only one run short of their own record IPL total of 263/5, which they achieved in a 2013 match against the Pune Warriors. In that match, Chris Gayle had amassed an undefeated 175 off 66 balls, and RCB had won by 130 runs. They fell short by 25 runs this time.
