SRH’s top order was one of the most dangerous top orders in the IPL 2025. Therefore, even the second-highest team total was registered by the Orange Army. Against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Abhishek Sharma started the innings with 32 runs in 16 balls, followed by Travis Head, who added 76 runs in 40 balls. However, Heinrich Klassen grabbed all the headlines after thrashing 105 runs in merely 39 balls at a strike rate of 269.23. KKR faltered at 168 runs, and SRH won the game by 110 runs.

It is no surprise that the third-highest total of the IPL 2025 also belongs to SRH. In the 27th game of the tourney, Punjab Kings (PBKS) posted a massive target of 245 runs for SRH. Surprisingly, even 245 runs were a walk in the park for SRH, who chased the target at the expense of only two wickets. Travis Head scored 66 runs in 37 balls, but the real deal was Abhishek Sharma, who hit 144 runs in 55 balls at a strike rate of 256.36.

Punjab Kings, under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer and a new team, found itself in a competitive mode after ages. So much so that the team scored big runs on multiple occasions, including a 236 against LSG, thanks to a whopping 91-run innings in 41 balls by Prabhsimran Singh. Unfortunately, LSG's score was a little too high, and they lost the game by 37 runs.
