**Kolkata, India** – Venkatesh Iyer’s explosive 25-ball fifty, which included a 20-run onslaught against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain Pat Cummins in the penultimate over, propelled Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to a strong position in their IPL 2025 clash at the Eden Gardens on Thursday.
Winning the toss, SRH elected to field first. KKR, addressing concerns about the pitch, included all-rounder Moeen Ali in place of pacer Spencer Johnson. After the early dismissal of Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Iyer and Rinku Singh spearheaded KKR’s chase, putting the SRH bowlers under immense pressure. While SRH aimed for early wickets, Iyer’s blistering innings stole the spotlight, leaving KKR well-placed heading into the final stages of the innings. The match continues.
