KKR vs SRH, IPL 2025: Ajinkya Rahane's Kolkata Knight Riders play Pat Cummins' Sunrisers Hyderabad in match 15.
KKR vs SRH, Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025: Pat Cummins' SunRisers Hyderabad and Ajinkya Rahane's Kolkata Knight Riders will square off in a pivotal match at the Eden Gardens. There is extra significance to this fixture as it is a rematch of the IPL 2024 final.
Both franchises have encountered difficulties in the tournament's opening phase, still adjusting to the aftermath of the IPL 2025 Mega Auction. KKR sits at the table's bottom, having secured just one win against the Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati, while suffering defeats to RCB and Mumbai Indians. The team's batting woes at the top have emerged as a significant concern for Rahane's men, particularly evident in their latest loss in Mumbai.
Despite their audacious plan to chase targets above 200, SRH has been struggling with a string of batting mishaps. Both teams want to improve their batting lineups, but the Orange Army will also have to address the problems brought on by a weak bowling attack.
Harshal Patel tried to hit a shot but miscued and fell in front of the fielder, then he pulled a short ball and was caught by Russell. This resulted in the away team losing by 80 runs.
KKR 200/6 (20)
SRH 120 (16.4)
Varun is in his second over. Klaasen hits to wide long-on for one more run. Kamindu reverse sweeps, but Venkatesh's fielding in the deep limits it to a single. Klaasen then hits a four towards fine-leg boundary. He gets another single at long-on on the next ball.
Abhishek tried to hit a ball from Harshit Rana but only managed to push it to the cover fielder for a single. Ishan faced a wide ball before hitting another single to deep point. Unfortunately, Abhishek got out when he tried to slog the ball on the off-side and it went straight to Venkatesh in the slips.
Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma open for one team, with Vaibhav Arora opening for the other team. Head hits a boundary but is out the next ball due to a great catch by Harshit Rana. Ishan Kishan comes in and scores a quick single.
Simarjeet bowls a low full toss outside off, Venkatesh cuts it to deep point for one. Rinku then pulls a short ball to deep midwicket for a single. Venkatesh hits two fours in a row, one through cover and the other between square leg and midwicket. Another single to deep midwicket followed by a six as Rinku lofts a slower, full ball down the ground for a maximum.
Harshal with a slower ball, Venky hits a single towards point. Rinku hits two fours - one through midwicket and the other through deep backward point. Then, Rinku hits a third consecutive boundary through wide mid off off a full delivery.
Cummins returns to bowl, with Raghuvanshi guiding the ball to deep third for a single. Rahane attempts to lap the ball behind the keeper but misses, getting hit on the body. He then misses a big swing and gets another dot ball. Rahane manages to score a couple of singles before hitting a six with a well-executed pull shot over deep midwicket to end the over.
Harshal Patel bowls a full delivery outside off which is hit for a boundary by Raghuvanshi. He then adds more runs by clipping the ball off his pads and driving it down the ground. Another delivery is missed by Raghuvanshi as he tries to hit it over the keeper. Finally, a full toss on the stumps is driven through covers by Raghuvanshi for another boundary.
Kolkata Knight Riders (Playing XI): Quinton de Kock(w), Sunil Narine, Ajinkya Rahane(c), Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Moeen Ali, Andre Russell, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ramandeep Singh
Sunrisers Hyderabad (Playing XI): Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Aniket Verma, Heinrich Klaasen(w), Kamindu Mendis, Simarjeet Singh, Pat Cummins(c), Harshal Patel, Mohammed Shami, Zeeshan Ansari
Pat Cummins - We will bowl. Looks like a good surface, but I'm terrible at reading it. They outplayed us in the final, but a bit of change in both sides. We've spoken about our batting, we've been at our best while being aggressive, but we can't be reckless. He has been amazing, doesn't get unfazed by any situation. Coordination is the key, but we do have a clear idea.
Ajinkya Rahane - Looks good, I'm really happy with the pitch, we were also bowling first. It will suit our spinners, at home, you should get what you want, but we'll need to assess the situation quickly with the bat. We sat together, discussed how we can get better, but this is a long tournament and it was one bad day. Moeen Ali comes in place of Spencer Johnson. Regardless of all plans, we'll have to come out and do well in the middle.
