Hits it straight down the throat of Abhinav Manohar at long off who calls for it and gobbles it up with ease.

IPL 2025 SRH vs RR Highlights: Ishan Kishan shines as Sunrises beat Rajasthan in first match

Dhruv Jurel’s fighting knock was not enough to take his team over the line as Ishan Kishan’s brilliant debut century guided Sunrisers to a commanding 44-run victory. Kishan, playing his first game for the franchise, announced himself in style with a breathtaking 106 not out, setting the tone for a formidable total. His aggressive stroke play put the opposition on the back foot early, ensuring Sunrisers had enough runs on the board to dictate terms.

Despite the daunting target, Jurel showed tremendous grit and determination, battling hard to keep his team in the contest. He played some exquisite shots and built crucial partnerships, but the mounting required run rate and disciplined bowling from Sunrisers made the task increasingly difficult.

Pat Cummins, the skipper of Sunrisers Hyderabad says that he wouldn’t want to bowl to his own batting lineup and getting 280-odd is unreal. Mentions that you know you are going to go for runs and once you have such a big score on board, one solid over with the ball will do the job for the bowling side. Adds that they have a core group of players and even after losing a couple of big names, the likes of Ishan Kishan have come in and stayed true to their blueprint. Mentions that the preparations have been amazing and the coaches have been here for 3-4 weeks, getting everything set for the players and they hope to continue in the same way.

Earlier in the game, the stand-in captain for RR, Riyan Parag, won the toss and put SRH into bat. The home side didn’t waste any time in hiring their strides and even after losing Abhishek Sharma inside the Powerplay, they were absolutely flying. Travis Head notched up a half century before Ishan Kishan took matters into his own hands and went on to score the fastest ton on franchise debut in the IPL. Nitish Kumar Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen played stellar cameos as SRH notched up 286 huge runs. With the ball for RR, it was Tushar Deshpande who really fought hard and ended up with 3 wickets.

Harshal Patel, SRH’s death-over specialist bowler, is now down for a chat. Harshal says that he i pretty happy with his performance and reckons they executed things well with the ball, barring a few overs and when you have about 290 on board, the game becomes a bit easier. Mentions that the coaches don’t believe too much in talking and they tried to bowl defensively with the slower balls and yorkers. Adds that there’s a fine line between what is attacking bowling and what is defensive bowling and there will be times when they will need to go hard at the stumps. Adds that no ground is easy for the bowlers in the IPL but especially this ground and the mindset of the batter has become that much more aggressive as well.

Riyan Parag, the captain of Rajasthan Royals is down for a chat. He says that it was a tough outing as expected and reckons that they could have executed better with the ball and will have a chat about it later on. Adds that he feels it was the right decision to bowl first and it was just about executing those deliveries and feels they could have restricted them to about 220-240. Mentions that the batting looked great and thinks that they will be taking quite a few positives from this game. Adds that they take the learnings from a game, whether they win or lose and move on.

It was always going to be a daunting task for Rajasthan Royals to chase down 287 runs and even though they got 16 runs in the very first over, things got out of hand quickly and they lost 3 wickets in just 4.1 overs. Sanju Samson and Dhruv Jurel though fought back hard and brought new life into the chase with a 111-run stand. However, the pair got out in quick succession leaving the pack a bit too much to do. Shimron Hetmyer and Shubham Dubey did put on a proper fight with a quickfire 80-run stand and yet it was only good to salvage the net run rate somewhat.

After scoring a breathtaking 286 runs in 20 overs, all SRH needed was early wickets and they got just that. Simarjeet Singh showed good pace and got two wickets in his first over before Mohammad Shami opened his account for his new franchise as well. It was then a phase of endurance for the home side and they did decently to soak up the pressure and get in a couple of quiet overs. The likes of Harshal Patel and Adam Zampa then returned to pick up a wicket each of the set batters and that just sealed the game then and there for SRH. Even though the others received a bit of tap towards the end, SRH managed to win by over 40 runs.

Wow, what a run-fest we have witnessed here, 528 runs being scored across the game in 40 overs but in the end, it is the home side that has come out on top. Sunrisers Hyderabad have brought the blueprint from the last season into IPL 2025 and have started off with a solid win as well. Rajasthan Royals fought valiantly with the bat but it was a mountain just too high for them to climb.

18.1 – Given wide but successfully overtunred! Full and around the tramline on off. Shimron Hetmyer lets it pass. Pat Cummins isn’t too happy with the decision and decides to send it upstairs for a check. The replay shows the ball to be on the guideline and some part of it is withing the line and hence the onfield call is asked to be overturned to a fair delivery.

Oh, deary me! Ishan Kishan seems to have got his left knee stuck in the turf on the last ball and seems to be in some pain. He does go off the field to receive attention from the physio and hopefully, he is fine.
