IPL 2025: 5 records broken during SRH’s thumping 110-run win over KKR in Match 68

SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) clinched a magnificent win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 68th match of the IPL 2025 on Sunday, May 25, at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium. It was a dead rubber for both teams as they’ve been knocked out of the playoff race.

SRH registered their second-biggest win of IPL as they defeated KKR by 110 runs. Additionally, their win over the Kolkata-based franchise was also their first after five consecutive defeats against them. Riding on Heinrich Klaasen’s 39-ball 105*, SRH posted a humungous total of 278/3. Travis Head also played a key role, notching up 76 runs off 40 balls.

KKR had a poor outing with the bat to start with, as they lost five wickets inside the first 10 overs. They became the only team with not a single 50-plus opening stand this season. Manish Pandey, Harshit Rana, and Ramandeep Singh fired in the end, but to no avail as the target was a huge ask with their key batters back in the hut.

As a result, SRH bagged a win to end their IPL 2025 campaign on a high. Jaydev Unadkat, Eshan Malinga, and Harsh Dubey picked up three wickets each as KKR were bundled out for 168 runs in 18.4 overs.
