As IPL 2025 progresses, cricket experts and fans are buzzing with one big question: Will this be the season when a team scores 300 runs in an IPL match? Last season, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) came close to achieving this milestone twice, posting 277 and 287 runs in separate games.

SRH's Explosive Start in IPL 2025

SRH, led by Pat Cummins, made a strong statement in their opening match against Rajasthan Royals by scoring a massive 286 runs. With power-hitters like Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen, and Ishan Kishan, they are looking more dangerous than ever.

Dale Steyn’s Bold Prediction

Former South African pacer and ex-SRH bowling coach Dale Steyn has predicted that IPL will witness its first-ever 300-run total on April 17.

He tweeted:
"Small prediction. April 17, we’ll see the first 300 in IPL. Who knows, I might even be there to see it happen."

Why April 17?

On this date, SRH will face Mumbai Indians (MI) at Wankhede Stadium, which is known for high-scoring matches. Last season, Wankhede hosted SRH’s record 277-run innings, with MI nearly chasing it down.

With batting-friendly conditions and two explosive lineups, April 17 could mark a historic moment in IPL history.
