Highest Team Totals: The history of T20 cricket is about 22 years old. Since then, many teams have made a total of more than 250 appearances in T20 cricket. However, till now there has been only one team in T20 cricket history, which has made a total of more than 300.

In the last season of IPL, Sunrisers Hyderabad made the second-highest total in T20 cricket history, but they were 27 runs behind the highest total. However, seeing the increasing level of T20 cricket, it would not be wrong to say that that record will also be broken in the coming time.
