In the second match of IPL 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) delivered a commanding performance against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad and won the match by 44 runs.
Opting to bat first, SRH amassed a formidable total of 286/6 in their 20 overs. The innings was anchored by Ishan Kishan, who marked his franchise debut with a scintillating 45-ball century, his maiden in the IPL. Travis Head contributed a rapid 67 off 31 balls, setting a solid foundation for SRH.

Chasing a daunting target of 287, RR faced early setbacks with Simarjeet Singh striking twice in quick succession, reducing them to 25/2. Captain Riyan Parag's departure added to their woes. However, a resilient partnership between Sanju Samson and Dhruv Jurel offered a glimmer of hope. After their dismissals, Shimron Hetmyer and Shubham Dubey tried hard but fell short by 44 runs.
This victory underscores SRH's strong start to the season, reflecting their dominance in both batting and bowling departments.
