SRH vs RR IPL 2025: Ishan Kishan hundred is the best comeback in the IPL history - WATCH VIDEO
WHAT A KNOCK! The biggest development is that Ishan Kishan has announced his comeback in style as he has smashed the first-ever century of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) season during the third game being played between the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and the Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. It was another disastrous day for the opposition bowlers as the explosive Sunrisers Hyderabad batting line-up was once again smashing the ball in all parts of the stadium on pretty consistent basis. The Sunrisers Hyderabad have finished with the second highest total in the history of the IPL having posted 286 for 6 in their quota of 20 overs.
SRH vs RR IPL 2025: Ishan Kishan announces his comeback in style with a fabulous century
Things have not gone really well for someone like Ishan Kishan in the last two years as he was first dropped from India's central contract list and subsequently, went out of contention from the national team across the three formats of the game. He was also not retained by the Mumbai Indians (MI) ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. However, the Sunrisers Hyderabad team management took the big call and bought the swashbuckling left-handed swashbuckling wicket-keeper batter for a massive price of INR 11.25 Crore in the auction. The southpaw did not had the best of performances in IPL 2024 having scored 320 runs from 14 matches at a fine strike-rate of close to 150 which included just a single half-century.
However, Ishan Kishan has made a stunning comeback in his debut match for the Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2025 having smashed a staggering unbeaten innings of 106 runs off just 47 deliveries that included as many as 11 fours and 6 sixes. He will definitely be hoping to continue a similar kind of batting form during the entire IPL 2025 season to break the doors and make a possible return to the Indian team as well.
While talking about the SRH vs RR IPL 2025 match, after losing the toss and being asked to bat first on a pretty flat batting pitch, the Sunrisers Hyderabad got off to a flying start scoring a total of 45 runs in just the first three overs. Abhishek Sharma got out cheaply after scoring 24 runs off 11 balls. However, the duo of Travis Head and Ishan Kishan continued the fireworks and were just dealing in pure boundaries. The Sunrisers Hyderabad finished the first six overs of the powerplay with 94 runs on the scoreboard.
Head continued his sensational batting form just as he was doing it last year for the same franchise, as he smashed a superb knock of 67 runs off only 31 deliveries that consisted of 9 fours and 3 sixes. The duo of Nitish Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen also contributed with quick-fire cameos each in the middle-order to continue the aggressive approach. The Sunrisers Hyderabad did fail to reach the magical 300-run mark, but they would be quite satisfied with a score of 286 runs.
