Hyderabad's Sunrisers vs. Kolkata Knight Riders IPL 2025 live updates: Venkatesh Iyer and Rinku Singh are presently undefeated at the crease after the Kolkata Knight Riders lost their fourth wicket when IPL rookie Kamindu Mendis dismissed Angkrish Raghuvanshi for 50. However, early in the game, the Sunrisers Hyderabad bowlers are aiming for some fast wickets. 

In their IPL 2025 encounter against the Kolkata Knight Riders on Thursday at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins chose to bowl after winning the toss. In the midst of all the pitch-related worries, KKR replaced bowler Spencer Johnson in their playing XI with all-rounder Moeen Ali. (Scorecard in Real Time)

Rinku Singh was given a special jersey by the Kolkata Knight Riders ahead of his upcoming match against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 15 of the Indian Premier League, which will take place at the Eden Gardens stadium in Kolkata. Singh was scheduled to make his 50th appearance for the squad.

After struggling to establish himself in the starting lineup at first and being selected for a mere 80 million rupees in the 2018 auction, the 27-year-old has made significant progress for the squad. After starting off as a backup fielder, the Uttar Pradesh star batsman created a name for himself in 2022 and reached his zenith the following year.

The team showed their trust in the southpaw by signing him for an incredible 13 crore INR before the 2025 season.He had his greatest season in 2023, amassing 474 runs at a scorching 59.25 average and a strike-rate of 149.53. However, the team ultimately placed sixth. The team won the championship the next season, but Rinku made very little of it.

After the host team scored 200 for 6 in the first innings at Eden Gardens, the Indian middle-order batsmen in the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) lineup finally took center stage.First, KKR was pulled out of a difficult situation by the four sixes that No. 3 Ajinkya Rahane smacked in his 27-ball 38. He had good assistance from No. 4 Angrish Raghuvanshi, who scored 50 runs in 32 balls.

Venkatesh Iyer and Rinku Singh then made the huge strokes after both batters were removed quickly after one another. Rinku Singh was undefeated with a 17-ball 32, while Venkatesh hit 60 in 29 balls.

The batting display by KKR was the first time a team had scored more than 200 runs since the sixth game of the 2025 Indian Premier League (on March 25). However, when ambidextrous Kamindu Mendis and spinner Zeeshan Ansari smashed KKR in the middle overs with the wickets of Rahane and Raghuvanshi, that figure appeared improbable.
