Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Highlights
Kishan’s Carnage: SRH Blasts 231 in Power-Packed Show
SRH scored an incredible 231 runs for 6 wickets in 20 overs after RCB asked them to bat first. Ishan Kishan was the evening’s most impressive player, scoring an incredible undefeated 94 off just 48 balls with seven fours and five sixes. Even after early wickets fell, his aggressive yet strategic style kept the scoreboard moving.
A quick start was given by Abhishek Sharma 34 off 17 and Travis Head 17 off 10, and crucial cameos from Klaasen 24 off 13 and Aniket Verma 26 off 9 balls followed. The RCB bowlers, including Romario Shepherd, who took two wickets apiece, and other bowlers made some progress and stopped an even higher total despite some costly overs.
Cummins Crushes RCB Hopes After Fiery Opening Stand by Salt & Kohli
Chasing the target, Philip Salt scored 62 off 32 balls and Virat Kohli scored 43 off 25 balls, RCB responded forcefully and reached 80 in less than 7 overs. But after Kohli was removed, the momentum was lost, and the chase quickly got out of hand.
RCB’s middle and lower order was completely destroyed by SRH’s consistent wickets, bad shot selection, and tight bowling. Eshan Malinga, who took two vital wickets, provided strong support for captain Pat Cummins, who spearheaded the attack with three wickets. Harsh Dubey and Nitish Kumar Reddy each contributed a wicket.
In the end, RCB was bowled out for 189 in 19.5 overs, far short of the goal. The victory solidified SRH’s place among this season’s best sides. Despite their encouraging batting start, RCB lost badly in yet another match because they were unable to maintain their composure under pressure.
