Ahead of the clash between hosts Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), fans were expecting the 330-run mark to be breached in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. However, Shardul Thakur ensured that SRH¡¯s batters didn¡¯t even reach 200, as he claimed four wickets, while Avesh Khan, Digvesh Rathi, Ravi Bishnoi, and Prince Yadav picked up one wicket each.
With 190 runs on the board for 9 wickets, Travis Head was the highest scorer with 47 off 28 balls. Nitish Kumar Reddy (32 off 28), Heinrich Klaasen (26 off 17), Aniket Verma (36 off 13), Pat Cummins (18 off 4), and Harshal Patel (12 off 11) played valuable cameos.
Generally, a 190-run total in a T20 match is considered strong, but for SRH at Hyderabad, fans were far from happy. A total of 200+ was the minimum expectation, and falling just 10 runs short got fans buzzing on X (formerly Twitter).
One fan said, "People are saying it's not even 200 today."
Another questioned, "Why TF not even 200!? Such a disappointment."
One wrote, "SRH couldn¡¯t even score 200 against this LSG bowling lineup."
Another commented, "SRH was expected to score 300, and they didn¡¯t even reach 200."?
One added, "Expected 200-220... 190 isn't bad despite losing 9 wickets. Zampa will be key as the impact player. Marsh in PP will be scary."
As of writing this article, LSG has begun their chase, scoring 67 runs in 5 overs while losing the wicket of Aiden Markram (1 off 4), courtesy of Mohammed Shami's bowling.?
