Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) clashed with Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the second match of the IPL 2025 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad on March 23, 2025. RR captain Riyan Parag won the toss and chose to bowl first.
Sanju Samson was announced as one of the impact players by RR as he deals with a finger injury.
SRH openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma continued their demolition job as SRH scored 94/1 in powerplay overs. Abhishek Sharma got out for 24 in 11 balls, while Travis Head smashed 67 in 31 balls.
Ishan Kishan was the man of the moment as he didn’t let the momentum slow down despite Abhishek’s wicket. SRH reached their 100 runs in only 6.4 overs just as the powerplay overs finished.
After Head got out, Nitish Reddy made 30 in 15 balls and Heinrich Klaasen made 34 in 14 balls. But Ishan Kishan batted through and completed his maiden IPL century. Kishan scored 106* in 47 balls with 11 fours and 6 sixes to his name.
SRH posted the second-highest IPL total ever 286/6 in 20 overs. Jofra Archer gave 76 runs in his 4 overs, the most expensive bowling figures ever in IPL history. Tushar Deshpande took 3/44 and Maheesh Theekshana took 2/52.
The cricket fraternity was all praises for Ishan Kishan, who smoked his maiden IPL ton on debut for SRH.
