In Match 68 of IPL 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) emphatically defeated Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by 110 runs, and the game was played at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad. After winning the toss, SRH chose to bat first and scored an extraordinary 278/3, one of the highest ever totals in IPL history! Heinrich Klaasen had a remarkable evening; his innings of 105 off 39 balls* included 8 fours and 9 sixes. Making significant contributions were Travis Head (76/40) and Abhishek Sharma (32/16), who helped manage the run rate and keep scoring in check! KKR's bowlers had no answers to SRH's onslaught, and their best bowlers were also taken down.

KKR's chase fell apart early, with early wickets damaging momentum, and captain Ajinkya Rahane was unable to play the anchor role his side depended upon.   KKR's middle order was completely under pressure with a huge target to chase, and even though Manish Pandey (37 off 23), Sunil Narine (31 off 16), and Harshit Rana (34 off 21) had quick contributions, KKR was never in the game and totally capitulated for a paltry 168 runs in 18.4 overs.

The SRH bowling group supported their onslaught of a total with discipline and aggression. Jaydev Unadkat (3/24), Eshan Malinga (3/31), and Harsh Dubey (3/34) shared the wickets and prevented KKR from building any momentum. This emphatic victory sealed the final of their campaign, while KKR ended their campaign in a disappointing fashion.

1. Inability to Contain SRH’s Explosive Batting

SRH's top order, particularly Heinrich Klaasen’s 105* (39) and Travis Head’s 76 (40), butchered KKR’s bowling attack. KKR's bowlers did not execute their plans, not even senior Andre Russell keeping his economy under control, going for 34 in two overs. KKR had no answers for SRH’s fight, leading them to a mammoth 278/3, which is in the top ten highest team totals in IPL history.

2. Poor Execution of Bowling Plans

Ajinkya Rahane stated that the KKR bowlers did not bowl their variations well. The wider yorkers and slower balls pitched too wide and too full allowed SRH batters to punish them. The bowlers did not maintain a good and disciplined line and length, particularly in the death overs, which inflated the score towards an unreachable landmark.

3. Weak Response with the Bat Under Pressure

Chasing a near-impossible target, KKR started woefully, losing wickets on the regular. Only Manish Pandey (37), Harshit Rana (34), and Sunil Narine (31) helped enough resistance as the rest of the lineup succumbed to scoreboard pressure, not able to stitch together any partnerships to stabilize the innings, leading to their collapse at 168 in 18.4 overs.

The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) crushed Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Match 68 of IPL 2025 with a crushing 110-run victory. SRH batted first and scored a monstrous 278/3 in 20 overs, which is one of the highest scores in IPL history. KKR made a mess of the chase and were bowled out for 168 runs in 18.4 overs. 

Sunrisers Hyderabad Innings

Sunrisers Hyderabad came out with guns blazing and scored 278/3 in 20 overs. Heinrich Klaasen led the charge with a hard-hitting 105 runs off 39 balls, a superb innings filled with boundaries. Travis Head also dominated the bowlers with 76 runs off 40 balls, and Abhishek Sharma made a speedy contribution of 32 runs off 16 balls. KKR bowlers had no answer, as SRH batsmen found boundaries at will. Sunil Narine was the only bowler of note with 2/42 in 4 overs, whilst Vaibhav Arora got a wicket but conceded 39 runs. Andre Russell was particularly disappointing, conceding 34 runs in 2 overs. 

Kolkata Knight Riders Innings

Playing to the record total, KKR faltered early and were bowled out for 168 in 18.4 overs. Manish Pandey was a top scorer with 37 runs off 23 balls, Harshit Rana made 34 runs off 21 balls, and Sunil Narine showed some fight with 31 runs off 16 balls, but not enough. The SRH bowlers executed their plans! Special mention to Jaydev Unadkat with 3/24 in 4 overs. Jaydev Unadkat starred with 3/24 in 4 overs, while both Eshan Malinga (3/31 in 3.4) and Harsh Dubey (3/34 in 4) ensured wickets fell consistently.

SRH vs KKR: Post Match Reactions

Heinrich Klaasen (Player of the Match): "It's been a tough season for me personally, although I have had a few good games. But I'm happy it came off today. The straights here are very short, so I changed my angle of trajectory to take advantage of that. I have spent a lot of time in the nets finding good areas to hit. My role is usually to come in around 6th or 7th over, and I just executed it today.

Pat Cummins (SRH Captain): What a great finish! Our batting was scary today. We didn't have a fact-infected period after the middle, and we bounced back really well. With the number of players we have, we were expecting to be in the finals. We have played about 20 players, and we are happy with the players we have and how the squad works, but we have lost a few to injury.

Harsh Dubey (SRH): I play to my strengths, although the strengths depend on the surface. My focus was to turn the ball better where I could and take the angles well. I have worked hard over the last 5 years, and I learn from coaches such as Sairaj Bahutule and Ashwin. Ranji matches help, but I am focusing on my white-ball performances.

Ajinkya Rahane (KKR captain): "They batted really well. We made some mistakes, and our poor execution hurt us. Their intent was fantastic. We didn't come together as a team, but we fought in the game, and it was good enough. No regrets, just learning and moving on."

SRH vs KKR: Match Preview

SRH has found form late in the season, having won three of their last four completed matches, including a 42-run victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru and a six-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants with 10 balls to spare. SRH are still hitting the ball aggressively thanks to Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen, who have been incredible; however, SRH's bowling, particularly spin, has been average at best.

KKR's campaign has been hit-and-miss, with just two victories in their last three completed matches; KKR's match with RCB was washed out and may leave KKR rusty for this match-up. KKR's middle-order batting has blown hot and cold with Venkatesh Iyer and Ramandeep Singh, but a late charge for valuable runs has been made on the shoulders of Andre Russell and Rinku Singh; at least KKR's spin led by Varun Chakravarthy is the best and most economical in the IPL.

In the wake of Match 63 between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Delhi Capitals (DC) in IPL 2025, the phrase “Umpire Indians” began trending on social media, as frustrated fans and analysts blamed a series of poor umpiring decisions for being a huge factor in the game. Although MI secured a great victory by 59 runs at Wankhede Stadium, the focus was more on the poor decisions that haunted the match. Among the discussion circulating among fans was the main sentiment that Delhi Capitals were victims of poor officiating. 

Two specific decisions stood out among many that night. The first was in the 13th over of DC's chase when Vipraj lofted a shot that clearly sailed over the boundary ropes yet was signaled a four by the on-field umpire. Frustrated players and fans of DC were bewildered that no TV umpire review was called. Television replays, which suggested that the ball comfortably cleared the boundary, killed DC’s momentum just when they needed a boost. 

The second questionable decision happened when Vipraj was dismissed off a delivery from Mitchell Santner that appeared to be a clear no-ball for overstepping. While Santner's foot was clearly over the line from the original camera angles shown to broadcasters, the on-field umpires chose not to refer to it as a no-ball. All this was further compounded by the fashionable disbelief of the commentators and the crowd. As if that weren’t enough, Abhishek Porel’s LBW dismissal sparked further outrage, with UltraEdge indicating a possible inside edge that wasn’t considered in the final call.

Social Media Uproar: “Umpire Indians” Becomes a Hashtag of Frustration

As soon as the game ended, fans took to Twitter and Instagram to share screenshots and clips of the poor decisions, calling them “game-defining errors.” The hashtag #UmpireIndians became a trending topic in a number of regions, with fans accusing the officiating crew of inconsistency and bias. Some fans wanted the BCCI to investigate umpiring standards and put in more strict DRS protocols.

While Mumbai stepped away with a must-have win to keep them alive in the playoff hunt, the post-match discussion has mostly centered around the umpiring controversies, not Suryakumar Yadav's brilliance or Bumrah's fiery spells. For a tournament that prides itself on excellence, the integrity of umpiring might now be the biggest talking point of the IPL.

Rajasthan Royals defeated Chennai Super Kings by 6 wickets in a nail-biting match in IPL 2025. The game was played in front of a buzzing crowd at the venue and both teams showcased their batting prowess in and made it a high-scoring match. CSK made 187/8 in their 20 overs, and Royals made 188/4 in 17.1 overs. 

Chennai Super Kings Innings

CSK’s innings was energised by a flurry of shots from Ayush Mhatre, who scored 43 runs off just 20 balls and Dewald Brevis (42 runs off 25 balls). Shivam Dube chipped in with a measured innings of 39 runs off of 32 balls. Even though CSK started with a flourish IIT, momentum evaporated for CSK in the last overs, due to tight bowling from Akash Madhwal (3 wickets for 29 runs) and Yudhvir Singh (3 wickets for 47 runs). Wanindu Hasaranga chipped in with a vital wicket at a favourable economy. 

Rajasthan Royals Innings

The Royals’ chase was led with a sparkling knock from Vaibhav Suryavanshi who clobbered an impressive innings of 57 runs off 33 balls. He was well supported by captain Sanju Samson (41 runs off 31 balls) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (36 off 19) who kept the scoreboard ticking with aggressive shots. While CSK bowlers, particularly Ashwin (2 wickets for 41 runs) and Anshul Kamboj (1 wicket for 21 runs) tried to stem the flow of runs, the Royals' top order proved too strong and wrapped up the match comfortably.

CSK vs RR: Post Match Reactions

Sanju Samson (Captain of Rajasthan Royals): Samson said he could not have been happier with the win. He revealed that he made the decision to chase very late. He acknowledged the young bowling unit and Akash Madhwal's improvement with Shane Bond as a good example of hard work. He said the team needs reflection after a disappointing season filled with close losses. He also praised Vaibhav Suryavanshi on his temperament and adaptability. 

Yashasvi Jaiswal (Rajasthan Royals): Jaiswal relished his time at the crease and found the win as a boost for the team's confidence. He praised Vaibhav Suryavanshi's maturity after the powerplay and complimented RR bowlers for executing the plans well when the pressure was on.

MS Dhoni (Captain of Chennai Super Kings): Dhoni felt that the team posted a good score, but they suffered from losing quick wickets. He praised Dewald Brevis's innings, and complimented Anshul Kamboj for his control and seam movement. He reminded young cricketers to learn instead of focusing on high strike rates.

CSK vs RR: Weather and Pitch Report

The climate of Delhi on 20th May, 2025, shall be very hot, with day temperatures of about 38-40°C and humidity of about 35-45%. Blue skies are predicted, guaranteeing an uninterrupted contest. The surface of the Arun Jaitley Stadium being generally batsman-friendly, top-scoring affair is expected through its flat terrain and short boundary. Teams opting to field, having won the toss, could opt to take the chase as the ground historically has seen productive run-chases.

CSK vs RR: Match Preview

Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals have both had disastrous IPL 2025 seasons, with neither of them in the running for the playoffs. CSK, rock bottom with three victories from12 games, have been hit by a struggling batting order and pathetic bowling unit.  Rachin Ravindra and MS Dhoni have not been in form. Ravindra Jadeja is still a vital all-rounder, but the bowling department, featuring Khaleel Ahmed and Matheesha Pathirana, has been poor, with CSK leaking high scores consistently. Rajasthan Royals, with three wins from 13 matches, have also failed to live up to their early-season optimism.

Their top order depends on Sanju Samson, Riyan Parag and Yashasvi Jaiswal's. The bowling, spearheaded by Wanindu Hasaranga (4 wickets against CSK in their previous match) and Sandeep Sharma, has had glimpses of quality but has been inconsistent. RR's recent results, such as a six-run victory against CSK in Guwahati, speak about their capability to fight, but the entire season has been stalled because of a lack of depth and subpar spin bowling (lowest number of wickets taken by the spinners this season).

Match 62 of IPL 2025 sees the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) taking on the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on May 20, 2025, at 7:30 PM IST. Both teams are already eliminated from the playoffs and will be looking to end their tournaments positively. 

Head-to-Head Record

• CSK Wins: 16
• RR Wins: 14
• No Result: 0
• Win Percentage: CSK has a very slight advantage with a 53.33% win record (16/30) against RR.

At Arun Jaitley Stadium, CSK and RR have clashed only once before in the IPL (2010), and CSK had won by 23 runs. This almost-level record underscores the closeness of their rivalry.

In Match 60 of IPL 2025, Gujarat Titans (GT) clinched the playoffs with a 10-wicket victory against Delhi Capitals (DC) at Arun Jaitley Stadium. DC, sent in to bat first by GT, scored 199/3 thanks to KL Rahul's unbeaten 112* (65 balls) and Tristan Stubbs' 31*. However, GT's bowlers made sure that Late in the innings, DC scored quickly to the limit of 200 runs - with a clinical 223-run stand (complete by both Gill and Sudharsan as they made their 100s batting together). R Sai Kishore (1/25) as most bowler ensured that GT left DC short by 10 runs. GT exacted a comprehensive chase through Gill (93* off 53 balls) and Sudharsan (108* off 61 balls) who were left (205 runs) unnaturally un-picked to chase 200, in 19 overs.

DC's bowlers, particularly Kuldeep Yadav, had no breakthroughs, wasted early reviews and miserable moans were originated without any success from the camp led by Axar Patel (who made cries for 10-15 runs washed up, review and pants - waste), as Gill explained GT played too many single times in a disciplined togetherness whilst Sudharsan mopped up runs in success against this scoring in Delhi (for the most). GT will make the playoffs with Royal Challengers Bengaluru ahead of Punjab Kings, whereas DC perhaps have held hopes by hooks or crook but having to win every game if they are to make the playoffs. Here are the top 3 reasons why DC lost against GT.

1. Absence of Mitchell Starc

The biggest miss to DC was star pacer Mitchell Starc, who is not playing any games until his coming up World Test Championship. Starc’s removal took away the potency from the bowling attack, who had a non penetrative performance without him - and took no wickets. So it allowed the Gujarat Titans op eners, Shubman Gill and B. Sai Sudharsan easy opportunity to chase the target in lock step fashion, without losing a wicket.

2. Batting Inconsistency

While KL Rahul excelled with an unbaten century, his counterparts who were supposed to lay a strong foundation in the batting order did not, either individually as a group or as individual starters. A number like Abishek Porel, Karun Nair, and Sameer Rizvi all got stars but did not get something meaningful in runs added; this was simply batting inconsistency in the order where DC set up a below par total, where it would have been incredibly easy run down the target for GT.

Also Read: IPL 2025, Match 60: Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans Full Match Highlights

3. Lack of Support in Bowling

With Starc missing, Mukesh Kumar and Mohit Sharma became the next option bowlers, however both bowled poorly - Mukesh in four overs - 40 runs, and Mohit in two overs, 28 runs. The remedial bowling quality support meant that the Gujarat Titans openers, made easy work of the run chase as quickly as they could.

Gujarat Titans (GT) delivered a powerful 10-wicket victory against the Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 60 of IPL 2025. Chasing down a simple target of 200, GT’s openers Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill made quick work of the target with a record total 205-run partnership in only 19 overs. Although KL Rahul scored an unbeaten century, 112*, DC’s score was nowhere near enough to beat the clinical Titans. 

Delhi Capitals Innings 

Batting first, Delhi Capitals made 199/3, lead by KL Rahul’s magical 112* off 65 balls. He anchored the innings throughout and accelerated in the final overs.  Abishek Porel (30 off 19) and Axar Patel (25 off 16) were handy support, but DC struggled against the ability of the Titans’ bowlers, with only Arshad Khan (1/7 in 2 overs) exhibiting any control. Prasidh Krishna and Sai Kishore each took a wicket but went at a high economy.  

Gujarat Titans Innings  

Gujarat Titans replied as authentically as DC was unaware. As Sai Sudharsan ended with 108* off 61 balls, Shubman Gill with 93* off 53 balls, their unbroken partnership of 205 runs proceeded to dismantle the Delhi Capitals attack. They simply never created any pressure upon the GT batting, contributing to a free and easy run chase that ended with an over to spare and boosting their playoff chances dramatically.

RR vs PBKS: Post Match Reactions

Sai Sudharsan (Player of the Match): Sai was ecstatic to contribute towards the team goal, and he loved that he finished the match. He said that it has been a good break that has allowed him to look back and improve. He pointed to keeping his composure in the middle overs and learning from his mistakes meant he was able to stay till the end. He feels more mentally prepared as a player, and he still wants to get better against spin in the last 5 overs. He said he really valued the partnership with Gill, but it's about understanding each other on the same wavelength and rotating strike. 

Shubman Gill (GT captain): Gill was happy to secure a playoff spot and he mentioned there was some momentum to be gained. He mentioned being captain, and being independent from the batting side of things. After the match Gill reflected that they have given 15 extra runs, but commended the team for taking the chase rationally. Gill praised Sai's play and said that they said they both wanted to finish the match together.

Parthiv Patel (GT Assistant Coach): Parthiv complimented the low-risk cricket played by Gill and Sudharsan. He explained that as there was clear communication and understanding, the performance was inevitable. He attributed Ashish Nehra's ability to create the environment conducive to success and playoff qualification.

Axar Patel (DC Captain): Axar acknowledged that Titans' unbeaten batting and favorable conditions helped their chase. He viewed their total as par and saw batting form as a positive, though fielding and bowling need improvement.
