Former South African pacer Dale Steyn has made waves in the cricketing world with his bold prediction for IPL 2025. Steyn believes that the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will achieve the first-ever 300-run innings in IPL history during their clash against the Mumbai Indians (MI) on April 17 at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
Steyn’s confidence stems from SRH’s explosive batting lineup, which has already showcased its firepower in the tournament. In their opening match against the Rajasthan Royals, SRH posted a staggering 286/6, narrowly missing the elusive 300-run mark. The team holds the record for four of the five highest totals in IPL history, making them strong contenders to break the barrier.
The Wankhede Stadium, known for its batting-friendly conditions and short boundaries, provides the perfect stage for such a historic feat. Steyn took to social media to share his prediction, stating, “Small prediction. April 17 we’ll see the first 300 in IPL. Who knows, I might even be there to see it happen.”
While Steyn’s forecast has sparked excitement among fans, he also humorously acknowledged the unpredictability of cricket, keeping a backup plan ready in case SRH falls short. The upcoming match promises to be a high-octane encounter, with cricket enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the possibility of witnessing history in the making.
