Royal Challengers Bengaluru hosted Sunrisers Hyderabad to an exhausting run-fest at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru in match No. 30 of IPL 2024.

After being sent into bat, Travis Head (102 off 41) made merry of the situation as he put up 59 runs all by himself in the powerplay reaching his fifty off 20 balls and hundred off 39. Useful contributions from Heinrich Klaasen (67 off 31), Aiden Markram (32* off 17) and Abdul Samad (37* off 10) helped SRH put up a very daunting 287/3. 

RCB too went all guns blazing at the start of their chase and even managed more runs than SRH themselves had in the powerplay but lost the plot thereafter.

While Virat Kohli (42 off 20) and skipper Faf du Plessis (62 off 28) did their part, RCB lost four wickets in four overs after the powerplay, and it took a very swashbuckling innings by Dinesh Karthik (83 off 35) to keep RCB within the fight with Mahipal Lomror and Anuj Rawat doing their part to elevate RCB to 262/7 and losing by 25 runs. 

Here are all the stats and records from the game: 

8 – Travis Head provided the eighth instance of an SRH batter scoring 50 or more runs within the powerplay. Out of these eight, two innings are by Travis Head and the remaining six are all by David Warner. 

3 – Travis Head got to his 50 in 20 balls, which, with three other knocks, is the joint third fastest for SRH.

6 – SRH’s powerplay total of 76/0 is their sixth highest in the IPL.

4 – Travis Head scored the fourth-fastest century in the IPL getting there in 39 balls. The only people faster are David Miller (38), Yusuf Pathan (37) and Chris Gayle (30). 

2 – SRH scored 128/1 at the end of 10 overs, which is their second-highest in the IPL.

2 – SRH’s score of 205/2 at the end of 15 overs is the second highest in the IPL after the 211/3 that RCB scored against PBKS at Bengaluru in 2016 in a rain-curtailed 15-over match.

7 – Travis Head’s century was the seventh century in the IPL scored by a player against his former team. Chris Gayle (vs KKR, 2011), Wriddhiman Saha (vs KKR, 2014), Shane Watson (vs RR, 2018), KL Rahul (vs RCB, 2020), Jos Buttler (vs MI, 2022) and Heinrich Klaasen (vs RCB, 2023) had done it previously. 

4 – Abdul Samad’s strike rate of 370 in this innings is the fourth highest in an IPL innings of ten balls or more. Romario Shepherd (390), Pat Cummins (373.33) and AB de Villiers (372.72) are all higher. 

2,1 – SRH’s total of 287/3 is the highest in the IPL and second highest in all T20s. Nepal’s 314/3 against Mongolia in the 2023 Asian Games is the highest.

5,2,1 – RCB’s total of 262/7 is the fifth highest in IPL history, it is also RCB’s second-highest total ever, and the highest ever team total in the second innings in not just the IPL, but also all T20s.
