SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) set a new T20 and IPL record by scoring 125 runs in the powerplay against Delhi Capitals, with Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma leading the charge. This historic achievement surpasses previous records and positions SRH strongly in the tournament.

It was a run-fest to remember for all T20 fans as the match produced 549 runs, which is the highest aggregate total for a T20 match.

The two youngsters nearly pulled off another heist, with valiant efforts on Tuesday but their brilliant knocks in a thrilling finish proved futile as PBKS fell agonisingly short by two runs, despite hammering 26 runs from the final over, the highest score in a chase.

Punjab continued to dent Hyderabad's innings as Nicholas Pooran nicked straight off an across-going delivery to Sharma off Ellis.

One of the greatest pacers of all time, the legendary Andy Roberts, in various interviews have laid out one basic ground rule about a fast bowler's physique.

Gujarat Titans pulled things back by getting rid of Washington Sundar, who was run out at the non-striker's end but the likes of Shashank and Marco Jansen had saved their best for the last over.

The chase began with Williamson beaten on the inside edge off Mohammed Shami and was struck on pads. Hardik Pandya consulted keeper Matthew Wade, but eventually didn't go for review. But replays later showed Williamson would have been out.

Pandya and Manohar joined forces to stitch a stand of 50 off 32 balls for the fifth wicket against a Hyderabad bowling attack which had Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Natarajan taking two wickets each.

The SRH bowlers first restricted CSK to a modest score of 154/7 in 20 overs and then their batters, specially Abhishek Sharma and Rahul Tripathy successfully chased down the target in 17.2 overs.

However, a 62-run partnership for the third wicket between Moeen Ali and Ambati Rayudu gave some respite for the four-time champions. Apart from this, none of the CSK batters applied themselves against the new-look bowling unit of SRH.

Hyderabad began the chase by losing openers, captain Kane Williamson and Abhishek Sharma in power-play to Avesh. While Williamson's scoop was caught by short fine leg, Sharma sliced high off the toe-end of his bat to cover.

Lucknow were hit with an early blow when Sundar, in his first over, forced Quinton De Kock to drive through off-side in the air and gave an easy catch to cover.

The team management of the Hyderabad-based franchise has written to the Indian Premier League (IPL) officials, protesting the third umpire's decision against their skipper's dismissal at the MCA Stadium in Pune on March 29.

Chris Gayle's quiet time at the crease ended with Rashid Khan getting one to turn in, trapping him lbw in the eleventh over. Nicholas Pooran slammed Sandeep Sharma for a six over deep mid-wicket.
