In an entertaining moment during Match 65 of IPL 2025 between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Lucknow, Krunal Pandya and Ishan Kishan had fans smiling with a hilarious on-field exchange. Ishan Kishan, who began his IPL 2025 campaign with a blazing century, had struggled for consistency since.
But on this day, he returned to form in some style. Walking in with intent, the SRH wicketkeeper-batter looked fluent from the start and played an attacking knock that reminded fans of his early tournament heroics. He remained unbeaten on 94 off just 48 balls, smashing 7 fours and 5 sixes, narrowly missing a second century.
