Highest Powerplay Score in IPL: Sunrisers Hyderabad openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma completely outplayed Delhi Capitals' bowling attack, achieving the highest powerplay score in IPL history in the IPL 2024 match against Delhi Capitals.
The dynamic duo of Head and Abhishek relentlessly dominated every bowler from Delhi Capitals, amassing an impressive 125 runs within the first six overs. This surpassed the previous best powerplay score of 105, set by Kolkata Knight Riders against Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2017 at M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Their exceptional performance redefined the concept of opening the batting, as they aggressively took on the Delhi bowlers right from the start, consistently hitting boundaries and sixes during the powerplay. This is also the highest powerplay score in the T20 cricket history.
