Ah, the Indian Premier League. I mean, it’s this wild circus of cricket, right? Smashing hits, all that chaos. Over the years, teams just kept pushing it, like ‘how far can we really go with this?’ But lately, it’s like, whoa, this is a different level. And SRH? They’re kinda stealing the show these days. Sunrisers Hyderabad have just been on a tear recently.
So, let’s dive into 2025, a real rollercoaster for SRH. Oddly enough, despite smashing records with the bat, they kinda fizzled out at crucial times. Led by Pat Cummins, they didn’t even crack the playoffs, finishing eighth. Eighth! Can you believe that? They just couldn’t piece things together, y’know? Yet somehow, they ended strong, blowing away the Kolkata Knight Riders with this insane 110-run win in Delhi, scoring 278/3. It’s like, they can have those big moments, but connecting them? Not quite there.
Speaking of big scores, SRH just dominates this top 5 list of IPL totals. Let’s randomly chat about them:
First up, there’s this day—April 15, 2024, a date seared in cricket fans’ minds. SRH literally went ballistic against RCB in Bengaluru. Totaling 287/3. Seriously, the way they batted, it was like an art form of chaos. Everyone had their swing at glory. It was breathtaking to see, like a perfectly choreographed storm.
Then, about a year later, March 23, 2025, they went at it again at home. Against the Rajasthan Royals, piling up 286/6. It’s like they were in a league of their own, those guys. The crowd just soaked it in, one boundary at a time. SRH really became this intimidating force—if they could just bottle that momentum consistently.
Oh, and again in Delhi, on May 25, 2025—278/3 versus KKR. The stakes were high, but did they falter? Nah. They turned that flat pitch into their personal playground. It’s like watching an artist who’s only comfortable in the chaos of his own making.
Backtracking a tad, March 27, still in 2024, against Mumbai Indians. 277 runs, only 3 wickets down. Imagine being those fans, just losing it in the stands. I think that’s the night Hyderabad’s skies lit up not just with excitement but probably literal fireworks. That squad was relentless, just combining precision with pure power.
Slipping away from SRH just a bit, though—April 3, 2024, Kolkata Knight Riders turned up against Delhi Capitals, blasting 272/7. Visakhapatnam witnessed another show of insanity that would’ve set records any other year. KKR made sure it wasn’t just the Orange Army holding all the aces.
With cricket, it’s more than just numbers or wins—it’s these moments, tiny snippets of madness. I guess that’s why we keep watching. Who knows what’s next, but I’m all in for another season of this glorious spectacle.
