Ishan Kishan’s explosive debut for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in IPL 2025 was a statement of intent. After spending seven seasons with Mumbai Indians, Kishan donned the orange jersey with a point to prove, and he did just that by smashing his maiden IPL century in his 10th season. Walking into a star-studded SRH line-up, alongside aggressive openers Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head, Kishan showcased his flair by scoring an unbeaten 106 off just 47 balls.

His innings, laced with 11 fours and 6 sixes at a strike rate of 225.53, set the stage for SRH to post a mammoth 286/6 — the second-highest total in IPL history. SRH’s management had shown immense faith in the 24-year-old during the mega auction, securing his services for a hefty ₹11.25 crore.

Ishan Kishan repaid that trust emphatically, displaying glimpses of his aggressive batting form during the pre-season intra-squad matches. His intent was clear from the outset as he joined the attack alongside the left-handed duo of Abhishek and Head. Confident at the crease, Kishan reached his half-century with consecutive sixes and brought up his century with a boundary, stamping his authority over the Rajasthan Royals’ bowling attack.

This knock marked a much-needed turnaround for Kishan, who endured a challenging IPL season with Mumbai Indians last year, managing just a single half-century. His transition to SRH seems to have given him a fresh start, allowing him the freedom to express himself.

The team’s aggressive approach complements his natural game, helping him regain the confidence that once made him a promising name in Indian cricket. However, Kishan’s road back to the Indian team won’t be easy. Since being dropped from the BCCI central contract list, he has fallen behind in the pecking order of Indian wicketkeepers, trailing behind KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, and the rising talent Dhruv Jurel.

The setback of leaving the South Africa tour midway in 2023 and his reported personal break didn’t sit well with the board, further distancing him from the national setup.

Yet, IPL has always been a stage for redemption, and a stellar season could reignite Kishan’s prospects of making a comeback. As he continues to showcase his aggressive style, a strong IPL 2025 might just be the spark he needs to reignite his international career.
