Ishan Kishan sends flying kiss in IPL 2025 SRH vs RR game – who was it for?

After reaching his half-century off 25 deliveries in the Sunrisers Hyderabad match against the Rajasthan Royals at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Sunday, March 23, Ishan Kishan gave Sunrisers Hyderabad’s owner, Kavya Maran, a flying kiss. In his maiden game for SRH, Kishan scored his first century for the team with a lovely maximum over the deep point zone.

The batter launched an offensive batting assault on Jofra Archer. Kishan held up his bat to the passionate crowd that had crammed the stadium. He gestured to the think tank chief for believing in him as their number three batter for the current 2025 edition as soon as he spotted the SRH co-owner in the stands and blew a flying kiss.

The franchise notably paid INR 11.25 crore for Kishan at the two-day mega auction in Jeddah in November 2024. Despite spending seven arduous seasons with the Mumbai Indians, he was not retained. For the previously mentioned sum, SRH took advantage of his availability and signed the aggressive hitter.

Ishan Kishan is the 2025 first centurion.

When Kishan reached his fifty in Match 2 of the 2025 Indian Premier League, he didn’t stop. Instead, by scoring an incredible century, he continued the chaos and caused more suffering to the opposition team. He finished undefeated with 106 off 47 deliveries, recording his first IPL century. In his brilliant innings, he hit six sixes and eleven fours.

SRH achieved a massive 286/6 in the 20 overs they were given. The second-highest run scorer was Travis Head, who scored a scorching 67 off of 31 deliveries. Nitish Kumar Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen gave the Orange Army a couple of blitzes of 30 and 34 runs in the final stages of their innings. With a record 76 runs let up in his four overs, Jofra Archer was the most costly bowler for RR.
