In the last couple of years, IPL has changed quite in the last few years, and now is more dynamic every year. If you were to watch the 2024 edition of IPL you’d be able to recall this was by far the most exciting season to date, for instance when we saw the most impressive score ever recorded by a single team that was 287 from SRH (Sun Risers Hyderabad). This was also the season that we witnessed the highest ever power-play scores too. Like the highest IPL score achieved by a team, the most impressive IPL Power Play scoring was recorded by SRH also, which was 125/0 in the match against Delhi Capitals in 2024. Let’s learn the details of the awe-inspiring performance, shall we?
First of All, What Exactly Is A Power Play in IPL?
Powerplay isn’t only a phrase used for IPL matches. It’s almost every T20 matches played. For those who are brand new to watching or playing cricket Power play is the initial 6 overs in the game in which only two players are allowed to be allowed to play outside the 30 yard circle of players on the team bowling. This gives more opportunities for batters to be able to be aggressive and achieve more points for their team.
The Wildest Powerplay Ever, And Trust Us, You Won’t Believe This!
Yes, it was in 2024 that we witnessed some truly wild and huge power-play scores that was never before seen in the history of the IPL.
The most powerful Powerplay scores in IPL the past is:
125/0 by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) vs Delhi Capitals in 2024.
That’s more than 125 runs over 6 hours and, more importantly, without losing just one wicket. The innings was launched with Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma and they took on bowlers in a frenzy and scored this kind of a score in the earliest six overs of the match. The fans who watched it live could not believe what they saw It was truly incredible and explosive.
You know what is that this trend appears to continue for the team in this particular year too. In 2025, we observed that SRH recorded the highest score of 286 runs (2nd most IPL score by any team) It appears like they’ll be able to have a record of 300 in the current season. That is why there’s a possibility of an even higher powerplay score from this team. Although, considering that they’ve established the pattern and other teams are working hard to attain higher powerplay scores. It could be possible that a different team beats SRH in this particular game in order to get a more impressive power play score. Let’s see what happens in this year’s IPL.
