Hyderabad, March 23, 2025 – Travis Head has set the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium ablaze, smashing the fastest fifty of IPL 2025 off just 21 balls as Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) raced to a mammoth 94/1 in the Powerplay against Rajasthan Royals (RR). Head’s carnage included 8 fours and 4 sixes, tearing apart RR’s pace trio of Jofra Archer, Fazalhaq Farooqi, and Sandeep Sharma.
Key Highlights:
- Head’s Record Onslaught: The Aussie opener targeted RR’s bowlers ruthlessly, hitting Farooqi for 24 runs in a single over.
- Abhishek Sharma Falls Early: Archer struck in the 4th over to dismiss Sharma (19 off 12), but Head’s rampage continued.
- RR’s Bowling Meltdown: RR’s decision to bowl first backfired as they conceded 94 runs in 6 overs – the second-highest Powerplay total in IPL history.
Live Scorecard:
- SRH: 94/1 (6 overs)
Travis Head 56 (21), Ishan Kishan 12* (9)*
Bowling: Archer 1/22, Farooqi 0/34
What’s Next?
With Head still at the crease and Heinrich Klaasen waiting in the wings, SRH eye a 250+ total. RR captain Riyan Parag needs a miracle from spinners Maheesh Theekshana and Tushar Deshpande to halt the onslaught.
