The 8th match of IPL 2024 will surely go into the history books as one of the most iconic matches ever played in the league. Home team Sunrisers were invited to bat by the visitors-Mumbai Indians after losing the toss. However the Mumbai Indians bowling line up was sheerly bamboozled by the SRH batters- from the turbulent knock by the Australian World Champion Travis Head, to the classic Klassen batting Mumbai bowlers had a very busy day and were hardly left with any chance to celebrate.
The explosive batting by Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma and Henry Klassen took the Sunrisers to a ginormous total of 277 runs, the highest by any team in the history of the league. SRH batters beat RCB to this feat as before this match the record was held by Royal Challengers Bangalore who scored a mammoth 263 runs against the former IPL team- Pune Warriors India- thanks to the aggressive 175 runs scored by the Universe Boss- Chris Gayle in that match.
However SRH’s stupendous performance comes at the back of a collective team performance by the team’s top order where all the batters barring Mayank Agarwal played their part in taking SRH to this record total.
As a result SRH script hisory, become the team with the highest score in IPL history.
