In the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024) Match 30 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) thoroughly outclassed the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) bowling team. With a record-breaking score of 287/3, the Pat Cummins-led team unleashed mayhem on the RCB bowlers by making the most of the stadium’s short boundaries and batting paradise.
With a brilliant performance of 102 off 41 balls, Travis Head stole the show as the SRH batsman. In addition to him, Heinrich Klaasen struck 67 off 31 balls for a scorching half century with the assistance of two fours and seven sixes. Even though the Bengaluru fans saw the most sixes in IPL history—22—during SRH’s innings, one from Klaasen’s bat stood out above the others.
