Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have become one of the most explosive teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Once heavily dependent on players like David Warner and Shikhar Dhawan, the franchise underwent a complete transformation in 2024, bringing in exciting talents such as Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Heinrich Klaasen.
Making their IPL debut in 2013, SRH claimed their first title in 2016 under David Warner’s captaincy. Since then, they’ve reached the final twice, in 2018 and 2024, but have yet to replicate that championship success.
Since the inception of the IPL, a total of 11 scores over 250 have been achieved, four of which have been posted by SRH. Now, let’s take a look at the top five highest totals by SRH in IPL history.
