SRH Smash Third-Highest IPL Total Against KKR

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) ended their IPL 2025 campaign with a record-breaking total of 278/3 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), marking the third-highest team score in IPL history. Heinrich Klaasen scored an unbeaten 105 off 39 balls, notching the fastest century by an SRH player and tying for the third-fastest in IPL history. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma also contributed significant runs, helping SRH nearly reach the 300-run milestone. KKR were bowled out for 168 in response, with Manish Pandey and Sunil Narine providing resistance. Despite this dominant display, both 2024 IPL finalists failed to qualify for the playoffs in 2025. The season has also seen Punjab Kings set a new record for seven 200+ totals while batting first, reflecting a trend of high scores throughout IPL 2025.
