IPL 2024: Second highest score for SRH in the powerplay

This dominant powerplay showing is the second-highest for SRH in the ongoing IPL 2024 season. Earlier in the tournament, they had blazed their way to an even higher score of 125 against the Delhi Capitals.

Leading the charge was the in-form Travis Head, who emerged as the “aggressor-in-chief” for SRH. Head smashed a blistering 58 runs off just 18 deliveries during the powerplay, reaching his fifty in a mere 16 balls. This knock marks the joint-fastest fifty for SRH in the current IPL season, underlining his destructive potential at the crease.
