Sunrisers Hyderabad produced a stunning batting masterclass to post 255/4 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Match 67 of IPL 2026 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, and in doing so, etched their names in the record books.
Ishan Kishan (569 runs), Abhishek Sharma (563), and Heinrich Klaasen (606) became only the second trio in IPL history to each register 500-plus run aggregates in a single season for the same team, joining Gujarat Titans’ Gill, Sudharsan, and Buttler from 2025.
Abhishek set the tone with a blazing 56 off 22 balls, before Kishan anchored brilliantly with 79 off 46. Klaasen then unleashed a rapid 51 off just 24 deliveries, with Nitish Kumar Reddy finishing things off with an unbeaten 29 off 12 balls.
Every RCB bowler conceded over 12 runs per over, with Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar particularly expensive.
SRH eventually won by 55 runs, restricting RCB to 200/4 in the chase. However, the victory margin wasn’t enough to push SRH into the top two, with Gujarat Titans and RCB confirming their playoff spots as the top-two finishers of IPL 2026.
