Travis Head Achieves 1000 IPL Runs Milestone

While the match saw Travis Head struggling for fluency, scoring 28 runs off 29 balls, it marked a milestone moment for the 31-year-old. With that innings, Head completed 1000 runs in IPL cricket, reaching the landmark in just 575 balls — the second-fastest in the tournament’s storied history.

Only West Indies power-hitter Andre Russell has achieved the feat in fewer deliveries, needing just 545 balls to reach the 1000-run mark. Head’s name now sits proudly in the elite list of fastest IPL scorers:

Andre Russell – 1000 runs in 545 balls

Heinrich Klaasen – 1000 runs in 594 balls
Virender Sehwag – 1000 runs in 604 balls
Glenn Maxwell – 1000 runs in 610 balls

This remarkable achievement reflects Head’s explosive strike rate and ability to dominate T20 bowling attacks across different conditions.

Despite reaching the historic milestone, Head couldn’t convert his start into a big score. After getting a reprieve early on when Hardik Pandya bowled a no-ball that led to a catch at the boundary, Head failed to make it count. He was eventually dismissed for 28 by Will Jacks, with Mitchell Santner taking the catch in the deep.

Partnering with the young and aggressive Abhishek Sharma, Head has formed a lethal opening duo for SRH this season. His ability to give blazing starts at the top has been one of the key highlights of SRH’s IPL 2024 and 2025 campaigns.
