IPL 2024 Orange Cap, and Purple Cap: What a wild carnage fans witnessed at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium! Fans spectated scores in a T20 game that is considered a good score even in ODIs. Over 500 runs were scored in a single match which broke and set multiple records in TATA IPL. There are also big changes in the most runs tally which are listed in this post below.
Winning the toss, Hardik Pandya asked SRH to bat first on a batting-friendly surface and Travis Head was back in the side of Sunrisers Hyderabad. You know very well what Travis Head did to the side having Rohit Sharma last year and similar happened this time again. Dropped by Tim David on 5, Head used the maximum of that life.
In his first game of the season, the Australian southpaw destroyed youthful Kwena Maphaka to start his season with a bat. His fifty off of eighteen balls was the quickest for SRH in IPL history at the time until Abhishek Sharma broke it a few overs later.
The carnage persisted even after Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma were eliminated. Aiden Markram and Klaasen took it off right there at the spot where they departed. Jasprit Bumrah was held back by the Mumbai Indians despite SRH amassing 173 runs in only 12 overs as both players played with authority.
Up until then, Bumrah had only bowled one over, so they were hoping to pair him more effectively with Heinrich Klaasen in the tail half of the game. Bumrah bagged ‘just’ nine runs in each over, showing that it was somewhat effective. Eventually, SRH hit 277 runs after 20 overs shattering RCB’s record for most runs in an innings(263).
3.2 overs and Mumbai Indians were already 56, this is how MI started the chase. They were up to the asking rate after 141 off 10 overs with needed another 137 off the remaining 10 overs. Varma attacked the spinners, scoring sixes for fun to get a fifty. However, the SRH skipper Cummins returned after the time-out and got the much-needed wicket of the southpaw.
Hardik and Tim David huffed and puffed after, but SRH’s pacers were superb not allowing any comeback for Mumbai Indians. Mumbai Indians could ‘only’ score 246 at the end of 20 overs losing the game by 31 runs.
