Kolkata jumped into the IPL 2025 points table with a loud win against Hyderabad
New Delhi. In the Indian Premier League 2025, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) made a big jump in the points table. On Thursday (April 3), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) was defeated by Ajinkya Rahane by 80 runs at the Eden Gardens. This was SRH’s biggest defeat in IPL history (according to runs) and was his fifth consecutive defeat against Knight Riders.
Like last year, the story was repeated when Hyderabad again lost against KKR. Quinton de Kock and Sunil Narine failed to stop SRH KKR’s middle order despite early falling wickets. Angrish Raghuvanshi and Venkatesh Iyer scored half -centuries while Rinku Singh also scored a very important innings of 32 runs in 17 balls and scored 200 for 6 wickets.
KKR’s new bowlers Vaibhav Arora and Harshit Rana broke the back of SRH’s innings by dismissing Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma and Ishaan Kishan cheaply. KKR’s middle -over bowlers showed amazing. Varun Chakraborty took three, Vaibhav one and Sunil Naren and Andre Russell took two wickets each for just 120 runs.
KKR jumped
KKR came as the bottom team in the league in this match. Those who had one win in three matches and a net run rate (NRR) of -1.428. This victory of 80 runs not only brought him to the fifth place but also made his NRR 0.070. On the other hand, SRH was in the eighth place and her NRR -0.871 (due to continuous big defeat). But now they have fallen to the 10th position and their NRR has come down to -1.612 even more. SRH was the finalist of the previous season and started this year with a big win against Rajasthan Royals. It seemed that it would be difficult to beat his team. Pat Cummins and his team need luck and hard work of this three -match defeat.
