I think that physical and mental toll probably just wore me down a little bit.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hyderabad amassed 287-3 at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium on Monday, the highest-ever Indian Premier League total.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3S7973z\">Join Our WhatsApp Channel For World Cup Updates<\/a><\/p><p>They also smashed the most sixes in an IPL innings, with 22 shots flying over the fence.<\/p>\r\n",
