Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) dealt a major blow to Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) top-two finish hopes in IPL 2025 with a dominant 42-run victory in Lucknow. Ishan Kishan was the star of the night, smashing an unbeaten 94 off 48 balls, helping SRH post a daunting 232. Despite strong efforts from Phil Salt (62), Virat Kohli (43), and Jitesh Sharma (24), RCB could only manage 189. This defeat drops RCB to third in the points table with 17 points, behind Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings. Their Net Run Rate also suffered, and it marked RCB’s first away defeat of the season.
