IPL 2025, Match 15: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) roared back into form with a massive 80-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in a one-sided contest. After a setback in their previous game, KKR bounced back strong, putting up an imposing 200/6 on the board.
Venkatesh Iyer led the charge with a fiery 60 off 29 balls, supported by youngster Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who scored a composed 50. Rinku Singh finished the innings in style with an unbeaten 32 off 17 balls, helping KKR score 78 runs in the last five overs.
SRH’s chase was derailed early, losing 3 wickets in just 13 balls. The batting collapse continued despite a brief fightback from Heinrich Klaasen (33 runs). Vaibhav Arora and Varun Chakravarthy were the stars with the ball, claiming 3 wickets each, as SRH were bowled out for just 120.
With this comprehensive win, KKR jumps to 5th place on the points table, while SRH slips to the bottom, raising serious questions about their top-order consistency after a strong start to the season.
