Kishan ton sets up comfortable victory after SRH post 286

Sunrisers Hyderabad showcased their batting might once again with new addition Ishan Kishan marking his presence with his maiden IPL hundred. It helped them amass a massive 286, the second-highest IPL total ever, which proved to be too much for Rajasthan Royals.

SRH's consistency in hitting ability right through simply outshone Rajasthan Royals in the end. While RR too made a valiant effort with the bat in getting to 242 in chase of a mammoth 286, they kept losing wickets at regular intervals which ultimately proved to be a momentum-breaker.

Ishan Kishan brought up his century in style, hitting three sixes in an over against Jofra Archer and bringing up an electric half-century in the process. The 72-run stand with Nitish Reddy ended when the right-hander holed out to deep mid-wicket. Nevertheless, SRH had a neat base set up getting to 208 by the 15th over mark.

SRH's PowerPlay was a masterclass, with Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma hitting boundaries at will. Ishan Kishan continued from where they had left off, as did Nitish Reddy. The resultant score of 94 on a flat Hyderabad pitch was mind-boggling but not surprising given the intent shown every ball.

Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, struggled to find their footing. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Riyan Parag fell trying to force the pace against a sharp Simarjeet Singh in the second over. Dhruv Jurel launched a stunning onslaught to welcome Pat Cummins into the attack, but ultimately fell in quick succession.

Brief scores:

  • Sunrisers Hyderabad: 286/6 (Ishan Kishan 106*, Travis Head 67)
  • Rajasthan Royals: 242/6 (Dhruv Jurel 70, Sanju Samson 66)
  • Result: SRH won by 44 runs
