The defining moment of the match came from the explosive opening batter, Ishan Kishan. The wicketkeeper-batter was in sensational form, tearing apart the RR bowling attack from the very beginning.

Middle Order Steady the Ship with Key Contributions
Though Kishan’s blistering knock took center stage, SRH’s middle-order batsmen also played key roles in guiding their side towards victory. In addition, Captain Aiden Markram, known for his calm and composed approach, offered invaluable support to Kishan at the crease. By doing so, Markram’s role in stabilizing the innings and ensuring that the momentum didn’t dip was crucial, especially when the pressure started mounting due to a few quick wickets in the latter part of the chase.
Moreover, despite the loss of a few wickets towards the end of the innings, SRH never looked in any real danger of faltering. With the solid contributions from the middle order and the total dominance provided by Kishan, SRH comfortably chased down the modest target set by RR, finishing the job with overs to spare.
Rajasthan Royals Struggle to Post a Competitive Total
Batting first, Rajasthan Royals had a tough time getting going, with the SRH bowlers putting them under pressure right from the start. As a result, the RR batsmen struggled to find their rhythm against the disciplined SRH attack, which made run-scoring difficult throughout the innings.
Although Sanju Samson, the RR captain, played an innings of 45 runs off 33 balls, it was clear that he had little support from the other end. In addition, Shimron Hetmyer, another big hitter for RR, could only manage 29 runs, leaving the Royals in a precarious position.
As the RR batsmen tried to accelerate in the latter part of the innings, the SRH bowlers tightened their grip, ensuring that Rajasthan’s total never reached a competitive level. Notably, Marco Jansen and Umran Malik were particularly impressive, consistently taking wickets and restricting the Royals’ ability to build any significant partnerships.

Dominant Bowling Display by SRH
SRH’s bowlers were in top form throughout the match, and their performance was one of the major factors in Rajasthan Royals’ inability to post a challenging total. Marco Jansen, the South African pacer, got SRH off to the perfect start by removing RR’s dangerous openers in quick succession. His pace and accuracy made life difficult for the RR batsmen, and he set the tone for the rest of the bowling attack.
Umran Malik, known for his fiery pace, was equally effective in the middle overs, constantly testing the batsmen with his raw speed. His deliveries were challenging to deal with, and he kept the Rajasthan Royals’ batsmen on edge throughout his spell. Both Jansen and Malik’s efforts ensured that RR’s batting never gained any real momentum.
Additionally, SRH’s spinners played their part in containing the runs and picking up important wickets at crucial moments. The disciplined approach from the entire SRH bowling unit never allowed RR to build partnerships, ultimately leading to their downfall.
SRH’s Complete Performance Sets a Strong Tone for IPL 2025
SRH’s all-around performance in this match highlighted their potential to be serious contenders in IPL 2025. From Ishan Kishan’s explosive century to the clinical bowling attack led by Marco Jansen and Umran Malik, every aspect of the game clicked for them. With the team looking solid in both departments, they have set the bar high for the rest of the season.
Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, will need to regroup quickly. While their batting struggled to make an impact, the Royals must find a way to accelerate their game and create partnerships if they are to bounce back in the tournament.
