SRH vs RR LIVE: 4 SIXES IN THE OVER

Another SIX off Dhruv Jurel’s blade. Classy, this one. Impeccable timing, impeccable power. In the slot, Jurel hits it clean over long-on. Two balls later, Samson hits another six. 26 runs off Simarjeet Singh’s over. Much-needed for RR. 100-run partnership, and 150 up.

RR 151/3 (13)

SRH vs RR LIVE: 50 for Jurel!

50 for Dhruv Jurel, and with a magnificent shot. Freebie by Simarjeet, Jurel once again hits it handsomely over the extra cover region. Next ball, goes for another 6! RR slightly fighting back, they need a lot more of this.

RR 139/3 (12.3)

SRH vs RR LIVE: Another poor over for RR

Another weak over for Rajasthan Royals. Just 3 runs off the 12th over. 7 runs in the last 12 balls. Required run-rate is above 20 now for RR. Jurel has still not reached his half-century. He was 44 off 17, but has scored only five runs in his next 10 balls.

RR 125/3 (12)

IPL 2025 LIVE: Shami drops a sitter!

Sanju Samson did not time it well, flicked it towards short fine leg, but Shami has put it down. Wasn’t a particularly difficult catch, but caught Shami by surprise. He’s hurt his fingers here, seems to have some bleeding. Let’s hope it isn’t a big injury. He has left the field for some treatment.

RR 125/3 (11.5)

SRH vs RR LIVE: Top stuff from Zampa

Just 4 runs off the 11th over. After being hammered for 14 in his first over, Zampa comes back strong. RR cannot afford such low-scoring overs. The required run rate keeps climbing, nearly 19 per over now. 

RR 122/3 (11)

SRH vs RR LIVE: 50 for Samson

50 for Sanju Samson! Pressure game, big task, the captain steps up from the front. Not at his fittest, but he’s come on as an Impact Player and made his presence felt. 26-ball half-century for him. He’s set the foundation.

RR 118/3 (10)

IPL 2025 LIVE: Jurel playing a gem!

Yet more runs for Dhruv Jurel. Abhishek pitches it down the leg side, Jurel sweeps over the fielder at short fine leg, picks up another 4. 12 off the over, but RR’s required rate is now nearly 17 per over. Many big hits needed still.

RR 108/3 (9)

IPL 2025 LIVE: 100 up for RR

100 up for Rajasthan Royals! Comes with a huge six of Dhruv Jurel, as he clears the ropes over extra cover. Abhishek Sharma is back in for a second over, and Jurel greets him with a powerful shot. A lot of responsibility on Jurel, who was retained for a big sum of Rs 14 crore by RR.

RR 103/3 (8.3)

IPL 2025 LIVE: SIX MORE!

Zampa tosses one up, Sanju Samson hits it sweet and into the stands. Into the 40s now. The RR captain needs to play the innings of his life here, to take his team to victory today. 43 off 20 is a good start for him.

RR 91/3 (7.4)

IPL 2025 LIVE: The equation

205 runs needed off 78 balls, as things stand. Required run rate: 15.77. Many, many big hits needed if RR are to pull off an unlikely chase. SRH bring on an impact sub, as Adam Zampa comes on for Travis Head.

RR 82/3 (7)

SRH vs RR LIVE: Great over by Abhishek

Abhishek Sharma introduced into the attack for the first over after the powerplay, and bowls a really neat one. Only 5 runs off it, with one boundary. Rajasthan Royals are in the hunt as long as Samson and Jurel are at the crease.

RR 82/3 (7)

SRH vs RR LIVE: 77 in the powerplay

Good powerplay for Rajasthan, in terms of runs scored! 20 runs off Cummins’ first over. Not quite the 94 that SRH managed, but RR have begun with a good run-rate. Their big worry is that they’ve lost 3 wickets. A huge partnership is necessary.

RR 77/3 (6)

SRH vs RR LIVE: Massive SIX

6, 4, 4! Dhruv Jurel welcomes Pat Cummins with a huge hit. In the slot, and Jurel hits it incredibly over long on. Next ball, Jurel flicks it away for 4! Third one, down the ground for another boundary.

Meanwhile, all-rounder Nitish Reddy is off the field and is being attended by physios. Slight injury scare for SRH.

RR 71/3 (5.3)

IPL 2025 LIVE: OUT!

Another batter departs! Mohammed Shami strikes now. First wicket in orange for the experienced India pacer. Rana tries to go big, horribly mistimes it, sends it straight up. It goes high, and it’s an easy catch for Pat Cummins.

RR 50/3 (4.1)

IPL 2025 LIVE: Samson on the charge

As long as Sanju Samson is there, RR will have hope! He’s made a wonderful start here. 28 off 10 balls! 4, 6, 4 off Simarjeet Singh. Rajasthan Royals pick up 15 off the over, 50 up in 4 overs. They need to build on this momentum.

RR 50/2 (4)

IPL 2025 LIVE: 4, Rana!

Good inswinger by Shami, Nitish Rana tries to block, gets a thick outside edge and it runs away for 4 through third man. Finds exactly the gap between first slip and the short-third fielder. RR need plenty more runs, and a big partnership.

RR 33/2 (2.4)

IPL 2025 LIVE: Parag GONE, Simarjeet again!

ONE MORE! Rajasthan Royals are falling apart, Simarjeet Singh has taken two wickets in one over. Utterly incredible scenes here. Riyan Parag slammed a boundary in his first ball, and then completely mistimes the next one. Going for a big one, top edge and an easy catch for Pat Cummins.

RR 24/2 (1.5)

IPL 2025 LIVE: Jaiswal GONE!

SIMARJEET STRIKES! Yashasvi Jaiswal will have to walk back for just 1. Tries to cut hard, Abhinav Manohar takes a superb jumping catch at backward point. RR suffer a huge blow, and it is the dangerous Jaiswal who departs.

RR 20/1 (1.3)

SRH vs RR LIVE: Samson goes BANG

6, 4, 4! Sanju Samson is off the mark in style. Breaks loose against Mohammed Shami, RR have piled up 16 in the first over. This is the perfect star, but they need a lot, lot more of this. Simarjeet Singh will bowl the next over.

RR 16/0 (1)

SRH vs RR LIVE: Here comes Samson!

As expected, Sanju Samson has opened the batting with Yashasvi Jaiswal. RR’s original captain enters as the Impact Player. Great start, smashes a 6 off Mohammed Shami in the first over. Pitched short, hooked away for a maximum.

RR 8/0 (0.4)

SRH vs RR LIVE: Samson expected to enter

Sanju Samson is set to bat in the second innings. His captaincy was missed out on the pitch by RR, but can he ease the pain with a fiery knock with the bat? Him and Jaiswal will need to make a bulk of the runs.

SRH vs RR LIVE: Stunning batting

Ishan Kishan was expected to strengthen an already incredible batting lineup, and he’s made his mark straight away. Ignored by India, dropped from central contract, could this be his season to make his way back into national selection? Wow, what a knock.

SRH vs RR LIVE: Highest IPL totals

Highest totals in IPL history:

SRH – 287/3 vs RCB (2024)

SRH – 286/6 vs RR (2025) – new entry

SRH – 277/3 vs MI (2024)

KKR – 272/7 vs DC (2024)

SRH – 266/7 vs DC (2024)

SRH vs RR LIVE: SRH pile up 286

Ohhhh, SRH have missed out on the IPL record total by just 2 runs! Ishan Kishan ends unbeaten, on a stunning 106 off just 47 balls. 13 runs off the final over. What an incredible display of power-hitting. The men in orange have delivered, and in style.

SRH 286/6 (20)

SRH vs RR LIVE: Deshpande on a hattrick!

Sunrisers Hyderabad are only 9 runs away from the IPL record total, but things have gone a little bit awry here. Two wickets in two balls for Tushar Deshpande in the final over. Aniket Verma and Abhinav Manohar depart in consecutive balls.

SRH 279/6 (19.3)

SRH vs RR LIVE: CENTURY ISHAN KISHAN

ISHAN KISHAN, you beauty! What a stunning century on his debut for SRH. 6, 6, 2 to get to the landmark. A ton in just 45 balls for the stylish left-hander. A knock of high, high class. Rs 11.25 crore, worth its weight in gold.

SRH 273/4 (19)

SRH vs RR LIVE: OUT!

Heinrich Klaasen is gone. Sandeep Sharma strikes in his last over. The South African marauder has done his job, and taken SRH towards that 300-run mark. 34 off 14 balls, job well done. Ishan Kishan now needs his century.

SRH 258/4 (18.2)

SRH vs RR LIVE: Huge unwanted record for Archer

4-0-76-0! Jofra Archer has conceded the most runs ever by a bowler in a single spell in IPL history. Bought for a whopping Rs 12.50 crore by RR, and it has been a disastrous start for the English pacer. 

SRH 256/3 (18)

SRH vs RR LIVE: 4, 4, 4! 250 UP!

250 UP FOR SRH! We still have 15 balls left! Heinrich Klaasen slams three boundaries on the trot, Jofra Archer is being tonked all around the park here. Devastating batting by the men in orange. Sunrisers Hyderabad are here. IPL 2025 favourites.

SRH 251/3 (17.5)

SRH vs RR LIVE: Uh oh, Archer warned

Jofra Archer with a very loose delivery to start the over. Completely loses control of his delivery, ends up bowling a beamer at Ishan Kishan. Warned by the umpire straight away. No-ball called as well.

SRH vs RR LIVE: Can Kishan get his century?

Ishan Kishan is eyeing a stunning century, SRH are gunning for 300. Both are within reach, with three more overs to go. Remember, SRH hold the IPL record total of 287. That is only 54 runs away.

SRH 233/3 (17)

SRH vs RR LIVE: HUGE SIX

Oh dear, that’s sailed into orbit! Sandeep Sharma was bowling an excellent over, but Klaasen has undone all that hard work. 4 runs off the first 4 balls, but then Klaasen is handed one short and wide, and he sends that into the second tier.

SRH vs RR LIVE: 24 balls, 81 needed

300 is definitely not out of the question for SRH. Ishan Kishan is well set, Heinrich Klaasen is one of the best hitters in the game. 81 runs needed in 24 balls to make history. It is a long shot, but certainly possible for this mighty batting lineup.

SRH 219/3 (16)

IPL 2025 LIVE: 4 more! Chance?

Ishan Kishan chips it over the 30-yard-circle, gets 4. Chance for RR there? Stand-in-captain Riyan Parag was at mid-off, and gave a half-hearted jump to try and catch that one. He’s not having a great first game as RR captain.

SRH 214/3 (15.3)

SRH vs RR LIVE: Now reverse sweep!

Ishan Kishan goes for the reverse sweep now, gets 4 more. Everything he’s trying is working out here. Up to 75 now. 12 runs come off the over, but the big wicket of Reddy as well. Theekshana completes his spell – 2/52.

SRH 208/3 (15)

IPL 2025 LIVE: Reddy OUT!

Good full delivery by Theekshana, Nitish Reddy tries a helicopter shot but picks out Yashasvi Jaiswal at mid-wicket. Third wicket down for SRH, but don’t expect the runs to stop! Heinrich Klaasen is up next.

SRH 202/3 (14.3)

SRH vs RR LIVE: 200 up!

TWO HUNDRED for SRH. 14.1 overs. Scintillating display of power-hitting. Nitish Reddy gets a thick outside edge, picks up another boundary. Doesn’t matter who comes in to bowl, they’re travelling for runs and runs aplenty here.

SRH 202/2 (14.2)

IPL 2025 LIVE: 6 more, Reddy

Nitish Reddy says ‘Don’t forget about me’! Length ball by Farooqi, Reddy flicks it over the deep square leg region for six. Slower one by the Afghan pacer, no problem for Reddy whatsover. SRH now on the doorstep of 200.

SRH 192/2 (13.5)

SRH vs RR LIVE: 250 in sight, 6 more!

250 is well in sight for Sunrisers Hyderabad. They have Heinrich Klaasen and Abhinav Manohar to come in next, don’t forget! Ishan Kishan continues the party, meanwhile. SIX MORE! Farooqi under the pump now, first ball back sent to the stands!

SRH 184/2 (13.1)

IPL 2025 LIVE: One more 6!

Ishan Kishan is breaking loose! Hammered once again, over extra cover. This is one flat, but powerful, and goes the distance. Jofra Archer is coming in with express pace and Kishan is using it to perfection.

Kishan up to 59 off 28 now!

SRH 178/2 (13)
