On May 24, 2025, Ishan Kishan’s unbeaten 94 off 48 balls and a strong bowling performance led Sunrisers Hyderabad to a 42-run victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore. Kishan’s explosive innings helped SRH set a target of 232 runs, with RCB being bowled out for 189 in response. Despite the loss, Virat Kohli’s team slipped to third place on the points table. Bangalore has already secured a playoff spot and will face Lucknow Super Giants in their final game, while Hyderabad has been eliminated from playoff contention. SRH’s openers provided a solid start, and Kishan’s knock, along with contributions from other batsmen, propelled them past the 200-run mark. In the second innings, RCB got off to a good start but suffered a collapse, losing seven wickets for 16 runs in a span of 25 balls. The win for SRH dented RCB’s hopes of finishing in the top two on the points table.
