Sunrisers Hyderabad

Sunrisers Hyderabad registered the second-best successful run chase in IPL history by scoring 247 runs from two runs from the 19th over against Punjab Kings.

In that game, Rohit Sharma found his touch with an unbeaten 76 runs, his first half-century of the season. Rickelton has established good starts up front, scoring 204 runs so far in the tournament, including his first half-century in the IPL.

Suryakumar Yadav tops the team's run-scoring chart with 333 runs. He has 68 runs not out against Chennai. Yadav is followed by Tilak Varma with 231 runs. Captain Hardik Pandya's all-round performance has enhanced the balance of the team.
