Kishan Adapts Smartly After Poor Run
After a rough patch of seven innings yielding only 33 runs, Ishan Kishan finally showed glimpses of his best during Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) important win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2025. Chasing 155, Kishan anchored the innings with a crucial 44 off 34 balls, providing much-needed stability after an early setback.
Despite his dismissal with 65 runs still needed, Kishan’s innings laid the foundation for SRH’s third win of the season.
Experts Praise Kishan’s Approach
On ESPNcricinfo’s Time Out show, former cricketers Varun Aaron and Aaron Finch applauded Kishan’s methodical batting. Aaron highlighted Kishan’s patience and shot selection, saying:
“He kind of assessed the wicket and then went from there. His team must be really pleased.”
Finch emphasized Kishan’s game awareness under pressure:
“His ability to read the situation and not overplay his hand early stood out. He assessed the conditions beautifully.”
A Much-Needed Win for SRH
While SRH eventually chased the target in 18.4 overs, losing five wickets along the way, Aaron stressed that the scrappy nature of the win could boost the team’s confidence moving forward:
“SRH are used to dominating wins. This scratchy win shows they can grind out results too.”
Youngster Nitish Kumar Reddy’s steady finishing also earned praise, ensuring SRH crossed the finish line despite middle-order jitters.
What Lies Ahead
SRH, now with three wins from nine games, will look to build on this momentum as they push for an unlikely playoff spot. Ishan Kishan’s return to form could be the spark they desperately need.
