Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Live Updates, IPL 2025: Kolkata Knight Riders are all set to host Sunrisers Hyderabad in their IPL 2025 match on Thursday at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata. The finalists of IPL 2024 are currently struggling in the ongoing season.
After ending up as runners-up in the last edition of the IPL, Sunrisers Hyderabad all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy feels that the only unfinished business for the franchise is to lift the trophy this season. SRH had a tough start to the IPL 2025 season as they lost their last two matches and are placed in eighth place in the standings. They will look to add two points against defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens on Thursday, in a rematch of the IPL 2024 final. "To be honest, I never set personal goals, even when playing for India or in the IPL last year. The only unfinished business is lifting the trophy. We created history with some records, but our ultimate goal is to win the IPL title and add a second star to SRH's legacy," Reddy said on JioHotstar's show 'Gen Bold'.
Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad will aim to get back on the winning track when they face each other on Thursday in a rematch of Indian Premier League 2024 final. Both the teams have had a poor start so far in the 2025 season. While both of them have won just one of their three matches played so far, KKR sit at the bottom spot in the points table, courtesy their poor net run rate. Both the teams will be desperate to revive their campaigns when they lock horns at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
A district-level investigation into an alleged fraud involving Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) has implicated several individuals, including relatives of Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami, officials said on Wednesday. District Magistrate (DM) Nidhi Gupta Vats announced late Wednesday evening that a preliminary investigation confirmed the allegations of fraudulent MNREGA wage disbursement. Consequently, orders have been issued to suspend implicated workers listed as workers with MNREGA, register a formal police report and initiate departmental action under the Panchayati Raj Act.
Defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders and last season's finalists Sunrisers Hyderabad find themselves in troubled waters, having lost two of their last three games, and both teams will be desperate to revive their campaigns when they lock horns in the IPL in Kolkata on Thursday. KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane had initially downplayed concerns surrounding his team following a heavy defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the season opener, insisting there was "no need to panic". However, with two losses in three matches -- considering KKR lost just three games across both home and away legs in their triumphant campaign in IPL 2024 -- the mood in the camp is slightly muted.
Rishabh Pant has failed to score big again at the IPL 2025. After 0 (vs Delhi Capitals) and 15 (against SunRisers Hyderabad), Pant was dismissed for just 2 against Punjab Kings. Pant was picked by Sanjeev Goenka-owned Lucknow Super Giants for Rs 27 crore, making him the costliest player in IPL history. However, the initial returns have not been great from Pant. And that has has made him the target of troll on social media.
Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad and Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) have signed a peace treaty agreeing to adhere to the principles laid down by BCCI over tickets and passes sharing. The development came after SRH management threatened to move out of Hyderabad following accusations of 'harassment' against HCA. SRH previously sought the intervention of BCCI and IPL council to stop 'blackmailing tactics' over free passes. “I write with serious concern regarding the ongoing developments with the HCA and their repeated blackmailing tactics towards the Sunrises Hyderabad franchise,” a top SRH official wrote in the mail.
After Mitchell Starc's incredible 5-35 set the base for Delhi Capitals securing a seven-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad, skipper Axar Patel felt the move to give the left-arm pacer a third straight over in power-play worked well, citing that he was in good rhythm. The match also marked the first time Starc, who varied his pace really well, pick a five-wicket haul in T20 cricket. Three of his wickets came in the power-play to push SRH on backfoot. Giving Starc an extra over in power-play resulted in him taking out the dangerous Travis Head, leaving SRH in tatters at 37/4.
