During IPL 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) acquired Ishan Kishan, who marked his franchise debut by slamming the first hundred of his IPL career while facing 45 balls. During the SRH match against Rajasthan Royals, Kishan achieved his first IPL century in 45 balls while breaking records for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Kishan’s batting display further solidified SRH as a top-notch batting team while showing his extraordinary talent in IPL 2025.
Kishan’s Explosive Knock Sets the Stage on Fire
Kishan entered the match scene immediately after Travis Head (67 runs in 31 balls) and Abhishek Sharma (24 runs off 11 balls) had put up the opening run rate. He combined sophisticated time-batting skills with strong unyielding power in his attack against RR bowlers. During four overs of Kishan’s assault, Jofra Archer from England suffered IPL history’s most costly performance by surrendering 76 runs for his record.
Kishan and Head established an 85-run partnership, then Kishan started belting boundaries to score his hundred in a magnificent manner. During his innings, Kishan hit 34 fours and 12 sixes, which made it a standout century in recent IPL history.
Rajasthan Royals’ Brave Fightback Falls Short
Despite facing a daunting target, the Rajasthan Royals showed resilience in their chase. Captain Sanju Samson (66) and young sensation Dhruv Jurel (70) stitched together a crucial 111-run partnership, keeping RR’s hopes alive. Shimron Hetmyer and Shivam Dube provided late fireworks, but the mammoth total proved insurmountable, as RR eventually fell short by 44 runs.
A Statement Knock for Ishan Kishan
The century marked for Kishan transcended being a private achievement because it made an official declaration. His SRH debut marked the beginning of writing his name in the franchise records while declaring dominance to all league opponents. Through his aggressive batting performance, along with his fearless play style and his ability to change match outcomes independently, Kishan solidified his position as one of IPL 2025’s most important players.
Sunrisers Hyderabad demonstrates their ultimate intent to win as Kishan continues his remarkable form through this outstanding victory, which points toward more spectacular performances in forthcoming matches.
