A scintillating unbeaten 94 by Ishan Kishan propelled Sunrisers Hyderabad to a daunting total of 231 for six against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their IPL 2025 clash on Friday. Hyderabad’s batting unit unleashed an all-out assault from the outset after being invited to bat first, with Kishan leading the charge following explosive cameos from Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head.

The dynamic opening duo, affectionately dubbed ‘Travi-shek’, launched an early onslaught, racing to a 54-run stand in just four overs. Abhishek smashed a brisk 34 off 17 balls, while Head added 17 off 10, dismantling the RCB new-ball attack led by Yash Dayal and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. In particular, Bhuvneshwar`s second over yielded 18 runs, including a boundary from Head, followed by a six and a four from Abhishek.
