Ishan Kishan’s 91 powers Hyderabad to big win over Rajasthan
TATA IPL 2026, Match 21: Sunrisers Hyderabad crush Rajasthan Royals by 57 runs: A innings from captain Ishan Kishan guided Sunrisers Hyderabad to a commanding 57-run victory over Rajasthan Royals in an IPL match on Monday. Hyderabad posted 216/6 in 20 overs, riding on Kishan’s explosive knock, before bundling out Rajasthan for 159 in 19 overs. This marked Rajasthan’s first loss in five matches, while Hyderabad secured their second win.
After opting to field, Rajasthan got an early breakthrough as Jofra Archer dismissed Abhishek Sharma on the first ball. However, Kishan steadied the innings with Travis Head and later accelerated alongside Heinrich Klaasen. Kishan smashed 91 off 44 balls, including 8 fours and 6 sixes, while Klaasen contributed 40. Late cameos from Nitish Kumar Reddy and Salil Arora pushed the total past 200.
In reply, Rajasthan suffered a dramatic collapse, losing five wickets for just 9 runs. Donovan Ferreira fought back with a half-century, but lacked support as wickets kept falling. Debutants Prafulla Hinge and Shakib Hussain impressed with the ball for Hyderabad, sealing a comfortable win for the team.
