After being put in to bat, SRH made a blazing start through Travis Head (46 off 21) and Abhishek Sharma (48 off 21), who stitched together an 82-run stand in just 34 deliveries. The duo capitalised on a true surface, taking the attack to KKR’s inexperienced bowling unit and setting the tone early.
However, a sudden collapse triggered by Blessing Muzarabani (4/41) saw SRH lose three wickets for just seven runs. With momentum slipping, Klaasen stepped in to rebuild the innings with calm authority.
Walking in during a tricky phase, Klaasen rotated strike smartly and kept the scoreboard ticking. He found solid support from Nitish Kumar Reddy (39 off 24), with the pair adding a crucial 82 runs off 53 balls. Klaasen’s 52 off 35 balls ensured SRH maintained a healthy run rate before finishing strongly despite late strikes from KKR.
KKR’s chase derails amid chaos
In reply, KKR’s batting lineup — featuring Finn Allen, Cameron Green, Rinku Singh and Sunil Narine — never found rhythm despite a promising start.
Allen provided early fireworks with a quick 28 off seven balls, but once he fell, the innings unraveled rapidly. A series of miscommunications and run-outs summed up KKR’s night, with Green’s dismissal following a chaotic mix-up proving particularly costly.
Youngster Angkrish Raghuvanshi impressed with a fluent 52 off 29 balls, but lacked support from the other end. Skipper Ajinkya Rahane endured another lean outing, raising further questions over the leadership call.
KKR’s middle order collapsed dramatically. Though Rinku Singh (35 off 25) attempted a brief fightback, his dismissal ended any hopes of a turnaround.
SRH’s bowlers were clinical, with Jaydev Unadkat (3/21), Ehsan Malinga (2/14) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (2/17) sharing the spoils to wrap up the innings in just 16 overs.
