Sunrisers Hyderabad delivered a brutal powerplay performance in their IPL 2025 clash against Rajasthan Royals, smashing 94\/1 in the first six overs<\/strong> at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium<\/strong> in Hyderabad. The onslaught was headlined by Travis Head<\/strong>, who stunned the crowd with a 105-metre six off Jofra Archer<\/strong>, one of the longest in the tournament\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

SRH\u2019s aggressive start came after Rajasthan Royals won the toss and opted to bowl first. Abhishek Sharma set the tone with a fiery 24 off 11 balls before falling to Maheesh Theekshana, caught by Yashasvi Jaiswal at point. His knock included five boundaries and laid the foundation for what followed.<\/p>\n

Travis Head and Ishan Kishan then took complete control. Head remained unbeaten on 46 off 18 balls<\/strong> (6 fours, 3 sixes), while Kishan raced to 25 off 12 balls<\/em>*, with five boundaries. Their 54-run stand in just 21 balls propelled SRH to 99\/1 in 6.3 overs<\/strong>, with the official powerplay total being 94\/1<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This explosive start has now entered the list of top five highest powerplay scores in IPL history<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Top 6 highest powerplay scores in IPL history:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

  1. 125\/0<\/strong> \u2013 SRH vs DC, Delhi, 2024<\/li>\n
  2. 107\/0<\/strong> \u2013 SRH vs LSG, Hyderabad, 2024<\/li>\n

  6. 93\/1<\/strong> \u2013 PBKS vs KKR, Kolkata, 2024<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Sunrisers\u2019 inclusion on this elite list for the third time<\/strong> in two seasons further reinforces their explosive top-order reputation. Rajasthan Royals, caught off guard, struggled to contain the duo as Archer, Farooqi, and Theekshana were taken apart early.<\/p>\n

    With such a blistering start, SRH look well on track to post one of the biggest totals of IPL 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
