Sunrisers Hyderabad have never been a team that believes in doing things quietly, and their final IPL 2026 league-stage clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on May 22 perfectly reflected that identity. Batting first at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium after Pat Cummins won the toss, SRH unleashed another batting masterclass that not only overwhelmed RCB but also helped them script a world record no T20 side had ever achieved before.
SRH Become First Team Ever to Register Nine 200+ Totals in One T20 Tournament
Powered by explosive half-centuries from Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and Heinrich Klaasen, Sunrisers Hyderabad piled up a massive 255/4 against RCB.
That innings carried historic significance beyond the result itself. The total marked the ninth occasion in IPL 2026 that SRH crossed the 200-run mark, making them the first team in world cricket history to register nine 200-plus totals in a single T20 tournament.
Their fearless batting approach throughout the campaign has redefined consistency in power-hitting cricket.

Nine scores above 200 in one tournament is no longer just an IPL record.
It is now a world record.
