SRH vs RCB Live Score, IPL 2026: Sunrisers Hyderabad produced yet another breathtaking batting display in IPL 2026 as their explosive trio of Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen tore apart Royal Challengers Bengaluru to pile up a mammoth 255 for 4 in Hyderabad.Abhishek launched the carnage with another sensational powerplay assault, smashing 56 off just 22 deliveries and racing to a 20-ball fifty. He attacked from the very beginning and never allowed experienced pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar to settle into rhythm.Once the platform was set, Kishan took over with a controlled yet fearless innings of 79 from 44 balls. The wicketkeeper-batter mixed timing, placement and innovation brilliantly as RCB’s bowlers repeatedly missed their lines against him.The innings, however, reached another level when Klaasen walked in. Widely regarded as one of the most dangerous middle-order T20 batters in the world, Klaasen unleashed complete destruction against Josh Hazlewood by smashing 27 runs in one over. His brutal 24-ball 51 ensured SRH comfortably crossed the 250-run mark yet again this season.RCB’s bowling plans completely fell apart under Hyderabad’s relentless aggression, while skipper Rajat Patidar struggled to stop the flow of runs. Nitish Kumar Reddy then added the finishing touches with a rapid unbeaten cameo as SRH ended with 20 fours and 16 sixes in another statement batting performance.
