Kishan putting on a show at his new home ground. Farooqi, who comes back into the attack, bowls a full toss which is flicked over square leg for a six by Kishan.
Kishan has cut loose in grand style, smashing 20 from the last five balls, including three sixes.
That six also raises the 50-run stand for the third wicket from 25 balls.
Kishan takes a single next ball before Reddy defends the yorker back to the bowler.
Reddy doesn't want to miss out as he pulls the slower bouncer from Farooqi over square leg for a six.
Farooqi bowls another full toss as Kishan easily gets it in the gap at square leg for a four, to get 18 from the 14th over.
Spinner Theekshana back into the attack. He starts with a wide before Reddy gets a thick outside edge which goes past short thirdman for a four as SRH race past 200, in the 15th over.
SRH level the record for the fastest 200 in IPL, getting there in just 14.1 overs to match RCB who had achieved the feat against Punjab Kings in IPL 2016.
Theekshana brings Royals some relief with the wicket of Reddy, who flicks it to Jaiswal at deep midwicket to perish for 30 from 15 balls.
But there will be no let-off in SRH's attacking approach as the dangerous Heinrich Klaasen walks out to bat at No 5.
He gets off the mark with a single before Kishan reverse sweeps the fifth ball for a four past short thirdman and keeps strike with one from the last ball.
SRH are 208/3 in 15 overs with Kishan on 75 from 34 balls. How many can they get in the last five overs?
