Travis Head<\/a> lifted Sunrisers Hyderabad to a record IPL<\/a> total of 3-287, defeating Royal Challengers Bengaluru by only 25 runs on Monday night. <\/p>\n

The dynamic Australian star blasted 102 off 41 balls, with his century coming off just 39, making it the the fourth-fastest ton in the tournament's storied history.<\/p>\n

Head \ufeffopened the batting and hit nine fours and eight sixes, with No.3 batter Heinrich Klaasen smashing another seven maximums en route to a quickfire 67. <\/p>\n

In the run chase, \ufeffBengaluru looked like it was crashing to a heavy defeat at 6-181 in the 15th over, until Dinesh Karthik plundered 83 off 35 balls to finish 7-262 after 20 overs. <\/p>\n

The aggregate of 549 runs was the highest in IPL history.<\/p>\n

Head\u2019s blistering century included eight sixes and nine fours. The Australian left-hander pounded the fast bowlers, notably Lockie Ferguson (2-52), who had a forgetful first game of the season as Bengaluru\u2019s ploy not to go with a specialist spinner backfired.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the T20 competition, young gun Jake Fraser-McGurk<\/a> scored a half-century on his IPL debut as Delhi Capitals beat Lucknow Super Giants by six wickets.<\/p>\n

The 22-year old Victorian smacked 55 runs off only 35 balls, including five sixes, as Delhi chased down Lucknow's 7-167 with two overs to spare. <\/p>\n

Fraser-McGurk has \ufeffcontinued his stellar rise in the shortest form of the game, which included a debut for Australia against the West Indies over the summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
