The left-handed Head's batting style may lack elegance, but his sheer effectiveness was evident as he relentlessly punished the RCB bowlers. His approach was simple yet devastating: anything in his hitting zone was dispatched with authority. Even the introduction of debutant Lockie Ferguson failed to stem the flow of runs, with Head taking a particular liking to his bowling. Ferguson's first over was forgettable, conceding 18 runs as Head unleashed his power with disdain.
Despite losing Head after his hundred, Hyderabad's onslaught continued unabated, with Klaasen taking over the role of aggressor. The South African hammered the spinners, including a brutal assault on Mahipal Lomror, yielding 18 runs in a single over. Hyderabad's assault culminated in a monumental total, with Aiden Markram's single off Vysakh Vijayakumar marking the historic moment as they surpassed their own record total.
