Dale Steyn predicts first IPL 300-run innings possible

news18.com

Dale Steyn has made a bold prediction for the Indian Premier League (IPL). He believes that the first-ever 300-run innings could happen on April 17. This prediction comes after the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) scored an impressive 286 runs in their opening game. In that match, SRH was led by Ishan Kishan, who made a century. Travis Head contributed with a fifty, and there were strong performances from Abhishek Sharma, Nitish Reddy, and Heinrich Klaasen against the Rajasthan Royals. Steyn shared his thoughts on social media, suggesting that April 17 could be the day history is made in the IPL. On that date, SRH will face the Mumbai Indians (MI) at Wankhede Stadium. The last time these teams played there, MI emerged victorious with a match-winning performance from Suryakumar Yadav. In their previous encounter in Hyderabad, SRH scored 277 runs, while MI managed 246 in response. Both teams are eager to put on a good show, especially considering the batting-friendly conditions in Mumbai. SRH started the season with a win, beating the Rajasthan Royals by 44 runs. In contrast, MI lost to Chennai Super Kings by four wickets in their opener. Looking ahead, SRH will play against the Lucknow Super Giants on March 27. MI will regroup as they prepare to face Gujarat Titans on March 29. Fans are excited to see if Steyn's prediction will come true.
