Just a week ago, SRH set a new record for the highest total ever in the IPL. Their batsmen went berserk against Mumbai Indians, amassing a whopping 277 runs with only 3 wickets lost!
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) – 272/7 (vs. Delhi Capitals, Visakhapatnam, 2024)

Almost breaking the record set by SRH, KKR came very close with their score of 272 runs against the Delhi Capitals. This match saw some incredible hitting from players like Sunil Narine (85 runs) and young talent Angkrish Raghuvanshi (54 runs).
