246 Target that Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) chased down against Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Saturday in Hyderabad. It is the second-highest successful chase in the IPL, behind the 262 by PBKS against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2024.
8 Consecutive wins for SRH at their home ground (Hyderabad) against PBKS, a streak that began in 2015. It is the joint-longest winning streak for any team against an opponent at a particular ground in the IPL, levelling with Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) eight successive wins against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at Chepauk.
It was also SRH’s ninth win in ten meetings against PBKS at this venue. Only Mumbai Indians (MI) have more IPL wins against an opponent at a venue – ten against KKR at Wankhede.
141 Abhishek Sharma‘s score against PBKS is the third-highest by any batter in the IPL, behind Chris Gayle’s 175* in 2013 and Brendon McCullum’s 158* in 2008.
It is also the highest score by an SRH batter, as David Warner’s 126 against KKR in 2017 was the previous highest.
1 Abhishek’s 141 is the highest individual score by an Indian in the IPL, bettering KL Rahul’s 132* against RCB in 2020.
Abhishek’s 141 is also the highest score in an IPL chase, surpassing Marcus Stoinis’ unbeaten 124 against CSK in 2024.
40 Balls that Abhishek took to complete his hundred, making it the sixth-fastest in the IPL. It is the second-fastest for SRH, behind Travis Head’s 39-ball ton against RCB in 2024.
10 Sixes hit by Abhishek on Saturday are the most by any batter for SRH in an IPL innings. No SRH batter had hit more than eight sixes in a match before Saturday.
24 Number of boundaries that Abhishek hit, the joint-second most in an IPL innings, behind Gayle’s 30 boundaries against Pune Warriors in 2013. The 116 runs he scored through boundaries on Saturday are also the third-most by a batter in an IPL match.
3 Number of times Abhishek has brought up his hundred in 40 or fewer balls in T20s – 28 balls vs Meghalaya in 2024, 37 balls vs England in 2025 and 40 balls vs PBKS on Saturday.
These are the most T20 hundreds by any batter in 40 or fewer balls, going one ahead of David Miller, Dasun Shanaka and Urvil Patel, who all have two such tons (where data is available).
5 All five bowlers used by SRH conceded 40-plus runs on Saturday. Only once before did five bowlers concede 40-plus runs in an IPL innings – Rajasthan Royals against SRH earlier this year.
75 Runs that Mohammed Shami conceded in his four overs, the second-most by any bowler in an IPL match, behind Jofra Archer’s 76 against SRH at the start of IPL 2025.
