If you thought Glenn Maxwell was the biggest letdown of IPL 2025, you might want to hold that disappointment trophy a little longer — because the undisputed champion of this not-so-coveted race is none other than Ishan Kishan.
Yes, believe it or not, the same Ishan who kickstarted his Sunrisers Hyderabad journey with the kind of explosive century that makes bowlers question their life choices. Fireworks, flair, swagger — the whole Bollywood action-hero package. But since that opening act? Cue the sad trombone.
His follow-up scores read like a bad OTP: 0, 2, 2, 17, and 9. And just when fans thought he’d finally reignite that spark — in a spicy revenge match against his ex-flame, the Mumbai Indians — he strolled into Wankhede with determination in his stride… and walked back with just 2 runs and a bruised ego.
While the cricketing world was busy pointing fingers at Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head for ghosting their hype, Ishan quietly slid under the radar like a ninja in flip-flops. But not anymore. At number 3, he was supposed to be the glue that held SRH’s batting together. Instead? He's been more like double-sided tape in a sauna — all promise, zero grip.
With SRH losing 5 out of 7, Ishan hasn’t just underperformed — he’s been their emotional rollercoaster with all the loops and none of the highs. It’s time we put some respect on his name — as IPL 2025’s most unexpected heartbreak.
What happened in MI vs SRH match?
Batting first, Hyderabad's batters flopped once again, proving that the previous game was more like a flash in the pan. No batter could score a half-century as SRH could only manage 162/5.
In reply, Rohit Sharma showed glimpses of his vintage best but his innings was cut short on 26. However, a collective batting effort helped the hosts cross the finish line with ease.
With that, Mumbai has now won 2 games in a row and their campaign is well and truly alive. SRH on the other hand are still looking for answers after losing 5 of their 7 games so far.
