Ishan Kishan featured in his inaugural game for SRH after Mumbai Indians opted not to retain him before the 2025 season. He is primarily an opener but has also performed well at the number 3 position, and his credentials were showcased in the very first IPL match of 2025.
If he is forced to miss the next few games or the entire season, it would be a significant setback for SRH, potentially impacting their ultra-aggressive for this campaign. However, they have made a strong beginning, securing a commanding 44-run victory over Rajasthan Royals in the daytime fixture.
A dominant opening stand was ensured by Sunrisers Hyderabad, as they maximized the field restrictions, amassing an impressive 94/1 in the first six overs. Travis Head played a pivotal role, smashing a rapid 67 off just 31 balls, setting up for an explosive beginning. On the other hand, Jofra Archer endured a difficult outing, with 76 runs being conceded by him in his four-over spell—an unwanted record for the most expensive bowling figures in IPL history.
SRH’s spirits have been lifted following this dominant performance strengthening their image as one of the fiercest batting sides in the tournament. Rajasthan Royals will need to focus on their bowling attack and middle-order stability to bounce back in their upcoming fixtures.
