Siraj strikes again; SRH in trouble

April 06, 2025

SRH 38-2 (5 ovs) vs GT | Scorecard

Ishant continues to ramp up the pressure as he starts his second over with two dots in a row to Kishan.

However, he bowls a wide half-volley trying a slower ball and Kishan accepts the gift as he lofts it inside out over the covers for a four.

The left-hander opens the face of the bat to guide the next past short thirdman for another boundary before taking a single.

Abhishek flicks the last ball uppishly as the fielder at mid-on charges in but can't get to the ball to concede another four.

A third over for Siraj in the Powerplay. The decision pays for GT as he strikes another big blow in the form of Abhishek.

Abhishek is beaten trying to pull the pacer before he defends it back to the bowler.

Siraj gets his man off the fourth ball as Abhishek goes for the lofted shot but hits it straight to the fielder at mid-on to be dismissed for 18 as his poor run with the bat in IPL 2025 continues.

Nitish Reddy watchfully keeps out the last two balls as Siraj concedes just a single in his third over.

Wonderful bowling by Siraj in the Powerplay, taking 2/14 in three overs.
