In the IPL 2025 match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders, newcomer Kamindu Mendis made history by becoming the first ambidextrous bowler to pick up a wicket in the tournament. Known for his ability to bowl both left-arm orthodox and right-arm off-spin, Mendis impressed fans and commentators alike with his unique skill. He bowled with both arms in the same over, confusing the batters and ultimately dismissing Angkrish Raghuvanshi. Prior to the IPL season, Mendis had to cancel his honeymoon with his wife Nishni in order to participate in the tournament. Despite this sacrifice, Mendis proved his worth by delivering a standout performance on the field.
In response, Kolkata Knight Riders set a challenging target of 201 runs, with Venkatesh Iyer and Raghuvanshi leading the charge with impressive half-centuries. Despite a shaky start, KKR’s middle order stepped up to secure a competitive total. The match showcased a thrilling display of talent and determination from both teams, setting the stage for an exciting season ahead.
