SRH's IPL Journey and Achievements
Now in their IPL history since their debut in 2013, SRH has secured 100 wins, 104 losses and a no result across a total of 205 matches. In their 13 seasons so far, SRH has been one of league's more consistent teams, having won the trophy in 2016, ending runners-up in 2018 and 2024 and having reached playoffs in other four seasons. Having won six matches so far out of nine and standing at the sixth spot in the points table, SRH looks pretty much set for another move to the playoffs.
Record-Breaking Run Chases in IPL
A total of 10 chases of targets above 200 runs have been carried out this season, outdoing a total of nine such chases last year. The highest chase was carried out by Punjab Kings (PBKS), who conquered the largest target in T20 history by hunting down 265 against Delhi Capitals (DC) in Delhi recently.
This is SRH's second-highest most successful run-chase, below 246 runs chased down against Punjab Kings (PBKS) last year. It is also the fourth-best IPL chase of all time.
Impact on Mumbai Indians
By outclassing a gun MI bowling attack consisting of the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult and Allah Ghazanfar among others, SRH have handed them their second defeat while defending targets of 200 or more. In their entire history, MI has won 19 matches while defending 200 runs or more, losing just two times. The other instance was a loss to PBKS in the Qualifier while defending 204 runs.
The magnitude of this win is massive, as it is only SRH's third win at Wankhede, the previous two had come back in 2018 and 2022 while defending totals.
