Kishan's 79-run knock (off 46 balls) was at the heart of SRH's big 255-run total. The southpaw smashed eight fours and three sixes, getting to his half-century off 31 deliveries. He was dismissed on the last ball of the innings, miscuing Rasikh Salam to Devdutt Padikkal at long-off.
In the process, Kishan (569) joined Abhishek Sharma (563) and Heinrich Klaasen (606) to become only the second trio of batters to register 500-plus aggregates in an IPL season for the same team after Gujarat Titans' Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler in the 2025 edition.
Earlier, SRH won the toss and elected to bat first. RCB skipper Rajat Patidar returned to action from a concussion, replacing an injured Jacob Bethell in the playing XI. The SunRisers played an unchanged side.
