Kishan's ton, SRH's run pile bury Royals
Hindustan Times Gurugram
|March 24, 2025
If IPL's season 17 felt like one extended party of power-hitting from Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), it only appears to have carried over into the league's adulthood.
MUMBAI: If the two left-handers at the top weren't enough to have a blast, there's now a third in the loop. If Hyderabad stood witness to its franchise redefining T20 batting as a collective last year, the sea of orange was left happily rocking by another red-hot batting storm to kick off this season.
SRH began their 2024 home run by posting a then barely believable 277/3. They surged higher on their return in 2025, landing at 286/6 while handing Rajasthan Royals (RR) a 44-run drubbing.
Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma were the sparkling southpaws of that evening last year against Mumbai Indians. The two again did some damage but on Sunday afternoon it was Ishan Kishan who sizzled the brightest with a 47-ball unbeaten 106 at No.3.
Arms spread, the left-hander winged away as he celebrated his first IPL hundred on his SRH debut after being a long-time Mumbai Indian.
