Which team scored the IPL record team total of 287/3 in 2024?

Sunrisers Hyderabad scored the IPL record team total of 287/3 in 2024.

The innings came against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on 15 April 2024. Travis Head made a blistering 102 from 39 balls, while Heinrich Klaasen contributed an unbeaten 67 from 31. Abhishek Sharma and Aiden Markram also supplied rapid cameos as Hyderabad finished with 287 runs from 20 overs.

The score surpassed Sunrisers' own 277/3 against Mumbai Indians earlier in the 2024 season. It also illustrated the extreme batting conditions and aggressive power-hitting that defined the modern IPL. Bengaluru responded with 262/7, but Hyderabad won by 25 runs.

A common mix-up is confusing the record with the highest individual IPL score. Chris Gayle's 175* remains the league's top individual innings, whereas 287/3 is a team record. The notation “287/3” means 287 runs for three wickets, with the innings ending after the allotted 20 overs.
