Highest Team Scores In IPL

When Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in 2024, they scored an incredible 287/3, setting a record for the greatest total in IPL history. This beat the previous record of 277/3 that SRH recorded against MI in Hyderabad earlier in IPL 2024. In this innings, Travis Head scored one of the fastest centuries in IPL history. In a T20 match, the most runs: a record-breaking 549 runs were scored in the contest (SRH 287 + RCB 262/7). One of the highest scores in T20 history: SRH's 287 is the highest total in IPL history.

Against the Rajasthan Royals (RR), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) put on another spectacular batting display, amassing 286/6 in 20 overs, the second-highest total in IPL history. SRH fell just 1 run short of their own all-time IPL record. Ishan Kishan starred on debut with a century, and the innings pushed SRH higher into the record books once again. The match also underlined SRH's status as the most explosive batting side of the modern IPL era, as the franchise moved closer to the 300-run mark than any other team in the league.

Sunrisers Hyderabad continued their record-breaking run in IPL 2025 when they smashed 278/3 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). That total became the third-highest in IPL history. Heinrich Klaasen's century powered the innings, and SRH once again showed how destructive their batting order could be.

The innings also confirmed SRH's dominance in the list of highest IPL totals, with the franchise taking four of the top positions.

Against the Mumbai Indians (MI), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) put on a spectacular batting display, amassing the greatest IPL score ever at that time — 277 runs in 20 overs.

Travis Head got off to a great start, hitting his fifty in only 18 balls and going on to score 62 runs off 24 balls, including 3 sixes and 9 fours.

The Kolkata Knight Riders resumed playing their hard-hitting brand of cricket when Gautam Gambhir rejoined the club as mentor. For IPL 2024, Sunil Narine, who is renowned for his incredible pinch-hitting skills, was elevated to open the batting. This strategy proved to be quite effective for KKR against the Delhi Capitals, as Sunil Narine emerged as a batting threat, hitting an incredible 85 off only 39 deliveries. KKR's total reached 272 runs, one of the greatest scores in IPL history, thanks to the efforts of young players Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Andre Russell. Rishabh Pant and Tristan Stubbs both reached their half-centuries but were unable to have much influence as Delhi lost by 106 runs after losing early wickets and never seemed confident in the chase.

The clash between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 2024 Indian Premier League turned into a run-fest as SRH posted a colossal 266/7, showcasing an extraordinary batting display. Played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, the match was a testament to modern T20 cricket's explosive nature.

Hyderabad concluded with 266 runs in 20 overs after openers Travis Head (89) and Abhishek Sharma (46) shared a record-breaking 125 runs in the powerplay. IPL 2024 produced several of the highest totals in league history. In response, the Delhi Capitals faced a daunting chase. Although a couple of DC batters counterattacked with fiery half-centuries, the required run rate kept rising, which led to errors and wickets. The match was a perfect example of SRH's batting depth and aggressive intent, coupled with an efficient bowling display that kept the opposition at bay.

Universe Boss Chris Gayle displayed the greatest degree of clean power hitting throughout the 2013 IPL as he delivered a Gayle storm to Bengaluru's Chinnaswamy Stadium. Against Pune Warriors India, he stormed onto the batting-friendly ground and smashed the quickest T20 century ever. He scored the first 50 runs in only 17 balls. He added the next 50 runs in only 13 balls. Gayle ended unbeaten with an incredible 175 runs off only 66 balls, which was both Chris Gayle's greatest IPL score ever and the highest IPL individual score. With a rapid cameo of 31 runs off 8 balls, AB de Villiers added support to Gayle's blitzkrieg. Together, they helped RCB reach 263 runs in 20 overs, one of the highest totals in IPL history. On the receiving end, PWI fell well short by a massive 130 runs, managing just 133/9 in their 20 overs.

It came in the same match where Punjab Kings later chased down 262/2, which turned the game into one of the wildest batting contests in IPL history. KKR's total was massive on its own, but the match is remembered even more for what followed in the chase.
