SRH defeated RCB by 55 runs in their last league-stage match of IPL 2026, and Ishan Kishan played a match-winning knock in that game. Kishan was named Player of the Match for his 79-run knock off 46 balls with the help of 8 fours and 3 sixes. His quick knock helped SRH post 255/4 as well.

After receiving his POTM award, Kishan said, “Just happy about it, taking one game at a time. I do feel confident when I am playing against them (RCB). More than maturity, it’s about shot selection. You need to feel confident. From day one, we had that in mind, to finish in the top-two. Pat coming in, one of the best bowlers, it’s very good to have him. Credit goes to everyone for keeping us in the zone. you just keep it simple, it’s about enjoying in the middle. I need to give the credit to the support staff and Pat Cummins.”
