Sunrisers Hyderabad Set IPL Record with 100 Sixes in a Single Season

The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have etched their name in the IPL record books by becoming the first team to hit 100 sixes in a single season. The historic feat was achieved during their clash with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on April 25. Despite a loss to RCB, SRH’s batting fireworks have illuminated the ongoing 17th season of the Indian Premier League. The Hyderabad-based franchise accomplished the remarkable milestone in just their eighth match of the season.

Virat Kohli’s Half-Century Highlights RCB’s Triumph Over SRH

Virat Kohli’s contribution to Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match has become a topic of discussion. Kohli’s half-century helped RCB end their 6-game losing streak, but his slow pace of scoring has raised questions on social media. Despite reaching his half-century in 37 balls, Kohli struggled to hit boundaries after the powerplay, consuming 43 balls for his 51 runs. This uncharacteristic behavior suggests Kohli may have been aiming for a bigger score. In the match, RCB posted a total of 206/7, with Rajat Patidar also scoring a half-century. SRH’s bowlers Jaydev Unadkat and T Natrajan were the standout performers. Chasing the target, SRH fell short, scoring 171 all out. Skipper Pat Cummins and Shahbaz Ahmed fought hard, but their efforts were not enough. Green, Karn Sharma, Swapnil Singh, Will Jacks, and Yash Dayal took wickets for RCB.
