Key Moments from KKR vs SRH, Match 15 of IPL 2025
1. Angkrish Raghuvanshi's proactive half-century lays platform for KKR
20-year-old Raghuvanshi came into bat in the third over, with his side two down inside the third over. Ever since the youngster registered his first boundary on his seventh delivery, he played a minimal number of dot deliveries thereafter, rotating the strike whenever he could not stroke the ball to the boundary. Raghuvanshi's enterprising fifty came off just 30 deliveries and comprised five fours and two sixes.

12. SRH top-order blown away with minimal contribution
Pursuing a stiff target of 201, SRH lost their top three batters by the first delivery of the third over itself. All three of the wickets were caught by fielders, reducing the tourists to a woeful score of 9/3 in 2.1 overs against a buoyant KKR outfit.

@StarSportsIndia4453. Ajinkya Rahane plucks screamer to dismiss Ishan Kishan
An athletic grab by Rahane at cover was the end of Kishan. A flashy cover drive was destined for the boundary. However, the right-handed Rahane moved across promptly to his left to hang on to a stunning grab to get rid of the southpaw on a low score.
