In the 30th match of IPL 2024, SRH surpassed their record of 277/3 against Mumbai Indians at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. Against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), led by Pat Cummins, SRH amassed 287/3 in their allotted 20 overs.

Facing RCB at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, Head smashed a century while Klaasen contributed with a quick fifty. Explosive cameos from Abhishek Sharma (34), Abdul Samad (32*), and Markram (32*) further bolstered their team's score, surpassing their previous record.

On Wednesday, April 3, Kolkata Knight Riders achieved the third-highest total in IPL history by scoring 272/7 against Delhi Capitals at the Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy Stadium in Visakhapatnam.

RCB had previously held the record for the highest team score in IPL history, posting 263/5 during the 2013 season in a league stage match against the now-defunct Pune Warriors India at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

On the historic date of April 23, 2013, RCB showcased a remarkable performance with Chris Gayle's unbeaten 175 off 66 balls, leading them to one of the highest totals in IPL history. Gayle also contributed with bowling figures of 2 for 5, securing a commanding 130-run victory for the Bengaluru-based side.
