SRH’s batting lineup seems to have retained its penchant for destruction after stacking up a slew of records in IPL 2024. Kicking off their IPL 2025 campaign on Sunday, March 23, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, the rampaging ‘Orange Army’ mounted another huge total, plundering 286 runs for the loss of just six wickets against Rajasthan Royals.

Making his SRH debut, Ishan Kishan whacked 106 unbeaten runs from just 47 balls to top-score in the high-scoring innings after Travis Head blasted a scintillating 31-ball 67 at the top of the order.
