Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) executed an extraordinary batting performance against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL), reaching an enormous total of 286/6. This extraordinary achievement placed them at the second spot for IPL totals which stands just behind their own 287/3 record set against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) earlier this season.

SRH's explosive batsmen launched an aggressive assault against RR's bowlers from the beginning. The innings showcased a relentless attacking style combined with powerful strokes and brilliant partnerships which left the opposition unable to control the run flow.
The top three positions for IPL high scores belong to SRH.

And @SunRisers post 286-6 which is the 2nd highest score in IPL history and just 1 run behind the highest score 287-3 which SRH smashed last year. No way will @rajasthanroyals be able to chase this down. @ParagRiyan - who has captained RR for the first time - will remember this… pic.twitter.com/ojgYO8BYPU

The record books now show SRH as the dominant force by securing the top three highest team totals in IPL history through their exceptional performance. The trio of massive scores they achieved within a single season demonstrates their bold and aggressive cricket style: 

• 287/3 vs RCB (2024) – Highest IPL score ever
• 286/6 vs RR (2024) – Second-highest IPL total.
• 277/3 vs Mumbai Indians (2024) – IPL’s Third-Highest Total 

The trend of huge scores has emphasised SRH's unparalleled capacity to consistently score record-breaking totals. Their bowling line-up, and their batting unit on its day, is better than any other team, and they have been making history in every game.

With the 2025 season upon us, SRH will have plenty of eyes watching them to continue this run of form and who knows, maybe go better than their own 287. And for RR-and the rest of the league-the task ahead is laid out in neon lights: Find a way to withstand the SRH batting juggernaut, or risk being bruised in the gale force winds of runs.
