SRH vs MI IPL 2024: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Mumbai Indians (MI) had a sensational night on March 27 after the two teams got involved in a record-breaking spree with their jaw-dropping display of batting. The SRH vs MI fixture provided a sight for decades owing to their batting juggernaut. Multiple records were shattered in the day, some of which (most runs, most sixes and Highest Team Total) are provided below in this article.
The SRH openers set the tempo for the game with their onslaught hitting right from the ball one. The likes of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma started off the bandwagon, which was followed by Aiden Markram and Heinrich Klassen through the first innings. It was such an innings where everything SRH touched, turned gold.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) plundered a monumental 277 runs against Mumbai Indians (MI) in 20 overs with the healthy contributions from Travis Head (62 off 24), Abhishek Sharma (63 off 23), Aiden Markram (42* off 28) and Heinrich Klaasen (80* off 34).
While the game looked one-sided before the start of the second innings, Mumbai Indians (MI) did well to keep things interesting. A similar attack was launched by the MI openers – Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan – to set the tone for the rest of the innings. Later on, the focus shifted towards Naman Dhir and Tilak Varma.
However, the dismissal of Tilak Varma put MI in a spot of bother which is where the game began to slip from Mumbai’s sight. Though Hardik Pandya was still in the middle, but he couldn’t match the required strike rate. Despite Tim David’s late effort of unbeaten 42 runs off 22 deliveries, Mumbai Indians could only manage to rack up 246 runs in 20 overs. MI lost the game against SRH by 31 runs.
Plenty of fireworks during the SRH vs MI game meant that multiple records were tumbled and new heights were reached. Some of the records are given below:
