On March 23, 2025, the initial conflict between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) turned into a complete spectacle at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. SRH attacked a historic batting, which is the second largest clan in a huge 286/6- IPL history. Newly acquired wicketkeeper -Batsman Ishan Kishan stole the show with a blistering with 106 runs off just 47 balls, while support came from Travis Head (67), Nitish Kumar Reddy (30), and Henrik Klassen (34). RR fought bravely. Sanju Samson (66) and Dhruv Jurael (70) led the charge, but could not match the SRH barrage, ended at 242/6 and decreased by 44 runs. England Speedster Joffra Archer is being taken to the cleaner – despite scoring a record 76 runs in four overs, the most expensive magic in IPL history – RR’s attempt cannot turn the collla target.
