Ishan Kishan Shines In SRH Intra-Squad Match Ahead Of IPL 2025 Debut

March 16, 2025: India’s dynamic and stylish batsman, Ishan Kishan, has been making headlines with his blistering form during Sunrisers Hyderabad’s intra-squad match. In a stunning display of power-hitting, Kishan scored an impressive 64 runs off just 23 balls and followed it up with another fiery knock of 73 runs off 30 balls. The videos posted by the franchise on social media show the left-handed batter’s breathtaking shot selection and his ability to dominate the game with ease.

Kishan’s remarkable performance is one of the early signs of his potential to make a significant impact in IPL 2025. After being acquired by SRH for a hefty INR 11.25 Crores at the previous auction, he has been added to a squad that already boasts power hitters like Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, and Nitish Kumar Reddy. With these big names in the mix, Kishan’s inclusion promises to further bolster the Sunrisers’ batting lineup.

Ishan Kishan, known for his explosive batting, was previously a part of Mumbai Indians, where he became one of the top openers in IPL history. Over his IPL career, Kishan has accumulated 2644 runs in 105 innings, with 16 fifties to his name. He was a key player for MI but was released ahead of IPL 2025. His aggressive batting, particularly during the powerplay, will be a valuable asset for Sunrisers Hyderabad.

SRH had a successful run last year, finishing as runners-up in the IPL 2024 season. While they reached the final, they were defeated by the Kolkata Knight Riders, who emerged as champions. For IPL 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad have strengthened their squad by parting ways with underperforming players and incorporating key players like Kishan to ensure they can mount another strong challenge for the title.

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s IPL 2025 campaign will begin on March 23, 2025, when they take on Rajasthan Royals in the opening match. The team will play its first double-header game at home, Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, marking the beginning of their quest for the title in the new season.
