5 itemsUpdated Mar 26, 2026

The 2024 and 2025 seasons witnessed a scoring revolution. Sunrisers Hyderabad led the charge, utilizing the flat decks at their home in Hyderabad and the short boundaries in Delhi to post three scores above 275. The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium remains a fortress for batters due to its high altitude and lightning-fast outfield, while Wankhede continues to reward aggressive stroke-play with its true bounce.
