Lucknow Super Veterans opened their account in IPL 2025, which made Sunrisers Hyderabad home.
SRH's scary batting was going against LSG's inexperienced bowling, the match gave a lot of expectations, but Shardul Thakur (4/34) rested on everything with a double strike in the third over. Travis Head put SRH together, but his dismissal launched a series of incidents where LSG tightened its grip on the hosts. It took special cameo from Annic Verma (36 runs 13) and Pat Cummins (18 runs 4) to take SRH to 190.
LSG lost Eden Markram quickly, but only intensified the arrival of Nicholas Gorn (70 out of 26). Gorn spared none of the SRH bowlers and with Mitchell Marsh (31 runs 31) for the company, he converted the result into an foregoing conclusion before half the way. Former SRH player Abdul Samad then played a cameo to put it in the finishing touch.
Here the most important sta from the game is:
25 – Shardul Thakur became the 25th bowler to take one hundred wickets in the IPL.
4 – Pat Cummins became the fourth player to hit each of the first three balls to face the IPL innings for six. Cummins followed an achievement earlier by Sunil Narnsan against RCB in 2021, Nicholas Gariban against SRH in 2023 and MS Dhoni against MI in 2024.
3 – Pat Cummins' strike rate of 450 is the third largest in the minimum 15 -run IPL innings. MS Dhoni and Krunal Pandya shared the top position with a strike rate of 500 with an unbeaten innings of 20 with just 4 balls.
5 – There are 5 examples of a SRH player who opens both batting and bowling in an IPL match. All five belong to Abhishek Sharma.
1 – No Indian player has opened both batting and bowling in the same IPL game often or more times compared to Abhishek Sharma's five, Irfan Pathan is ahead with three. Kyle Mayors have also done this five times, while Sunil Narine (6), Shane Watson (7) and Jacks Kallis (12) are ahead of Abhishek.
2 – The LSG's powerplay is his second largest behind the 77/1 of 77/1, which he put against CSK in 2023.
2 – Nicholas Gariban's 18-Gunds are the second fastest for LSG in the fifty IPL, which is behind fifty of its 15 balls against RCB in 2023. Gorn has ranked third in this list in 2023 with fifty 19 balls against MI.
