Sunrisers Hyderabad survive Dinesh Karthik scare in IPL match of a lifetime with 549 runs scored, win by 25

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) almost lost twice in less than three weeks after scoring 270-plus in the 2024 edition of the IPL but have won on both occasions as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) eventually lost the steam chasing down a record 288 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. It was a run-fest of the highest order. As many as 549 runs were scored, a record aggregate for an IPL match and not many times you see a team scoring 262 and end up on the losing side as Dinesh Karthik with 35-ball 83 kept going, just didn’t give up and eventually ensured that RCB didn’t lose much on the NRR.
