Run rate is a key indicator of aggressive T20 cricket in the IPL. Teams with high seasonal run rates often feature power-packed line-ups, flat pitches, and fearless batting. The modern era has seen run rates consistently climb above 9.0 thanks to bigger boundaries being compensated by stronger hitting. Sunrisers Hyderabad’s 2024 season stands out with multiple 250+ totals, setting new benchmarks.
