The Sunrisers played brilliantly to defeat Kolkata Knight Riders by 110 runs and end IPL 2025 on a victorious note after last year’s final loss.
Batting Brilliance from Klaasen & Head
SRH set a huge score of 278/5, and Henrik Klaasen made the most difference, hitting a dazzling century. Travis Head led the way with a fast start at the top of the order. Win Zidane and Nicholas Pooran’s quick hitting left KKR’s bowlers at a loss. Their batters played continuously, ensuring that the bat was never going to rest.
After scoring 281 in their first game, SRH proved once more how powerful they can be with the bat. Even though they couldn’t reach the playoffs, SRH revealed their capability by performing well at both the start and end of the season.

Bowling Masterclass Seals the Win
Facing what appeared to be a safe target, KKR’s batting lineup fell apart. Apart from Sunil Narine (37), Manish Pandey and Harshit Rana, every batter scored under 40. The top order couldn’t respond to SRH’s exceptional bowling.
A mix of slower balls from bowlers Eshan Malinga, Jaydev Unadkat and Harshal Patel led to tight runs and regular dismissals. Harsh Dubey, who was brought in to make an impact, claimed three wickets in his three overs and ended as one of the leading bowlers for SRH.
Season Summary
Thanks to the convincing win, SRH now sits in 6th place with 13 points and ended the season with three straight victories. KKR, though, struggled during the season and finished in the eighth position with just 12 points. Both Kolkata and Sunrisers had difficult starts to the season and finished with this trend continuing—a heavy loss for Kolkata in their first and last games and frequent strong performances from Sunrisers.
