On the very first ball of the ninth over, Sandeep Sharma’s clever delivery left Travis Head helpless, but fate had different plans in the ongoing IPL 2025 clash in Hyderabad. The delivery, angling onto off-stump, tricked the explosive Australian batter as he could only hang his bat out.

Tushar Deshpande gets the better of Travis Head
In the 10th over, Tushar Deshpande delivered a massive breakthrough, dismissing the dangerous Head with a thunderbolt. With Rajasthan desperate for a wicket, Deshpande steamed in and bowled a well-pitched delivery outside off at 135.3 km/h.
Head attempted to muscle it over mid-off, but the ball went straight to Shimron Hetmyer at mid-on, who took a brilliant catch to end the explosive Australian batter’s stay in the match. Deshpande celebrated the crucial dismissal with intense energy, as Head walked back to the pavilion after playing a blistering knock of 67 off just 31 balls with nine fours and three sixes.
Well, the star of the show was Ishan Kishan, who hammered a stunning unbeaten hundred. Ishan has just taken only 47 balls to play a remarkable knock of 106* runs, featuring 11 boundaries and 6 sixes against the Rajasthan Royals at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.

After becoming the first Indian to score a century for SRH in the IPL, Ishan expressed his elation over his efforts with the bat against the RR. The Indian wicketkeeper-batter said that the SRH trusted him, and now he would make sure to repay the faith in the ongoing IPL 2025.
Ishan Kishan said during the innings break in Hyderabad, “Feels good; it was coming for a while. Wanted to get this last season but happy to get that first hundred. The team has put their faith in me, and I want to do my best for them. The captain has given us all a lot of freedom and confidence; hats off to the management.
When Abhishek and Head started, they gave a lot of confidence to us batters in the dugout. The pitch was looking good, and we were just trying to get them under pressure. We need to be on point with the ball and keep it simple. Rajasthan bowlers are good, but if we bowl in the right areas and to the plans, we should be good.”
