Sunrisers Hyderabad bettered their own record and re-wrote history by posting the highest total in Indian Premier League history on Monday during the clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. SRH, who scored 277/3 against MI earlier this season, broke that record and smashed 287/3 on Monday at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru.

The SRH batters were on a mission and punished the RCB bowlers all around the park as Faf du Plessis' decision to bowl first backfired instantly for them.

Will Jacks started the proceedings with the ball for RCB and he gave away 7 runs off the first over and at that the hosts didn't have an idea about what was coming their way. Travis Head just smashed the bowlers right, left and center to hit his maiden IPL century. There was no stopping for Head and Abhishek Sharma in the powerplay as SRH posted 76 without losing any wickets. However, it was only a trailer as they produced box-office stuff after the powerplay as Head kept clearing the boundary rope at will and brought up his century off 39 balls --- fourth fastest in tournament history.
