Heinrich Klaasen's incredible century helped Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to defeat Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by an impressive 110 runs in a dominant performance at Delhi. His unbeaten 105 off just 39 deliveries propelled SRH to a mammoth 278/3 – the third-highest total in IPL history.
Klaasen's knock, which featured 9 sixes and 7 fours, came at a blistering strike rate of 269.23. Supported by Travis Head's fluent 76 (off 40) and Abhishek Sharma's 32 (off 16), SRH bludgeoned KKR bowlers from the outset. The innings saw a 50-run partnership between Klaasen and Ishan Kishan in just 20 balls, maintaining the carnage.
KKR's chase never really took off. Despite a fiery start from Sunil Narine, who smashed 3 sixes off Pat Cummins early on, Jaydev Unadkat's clever variations derailed the innings. He picked 3 for 24, while Harsh Dubey and Eshan Malinga also bagged three wickets apiece. KKR were bundled out for 168 in 19.3 overs, handing them their biggest defeat in IPL history.
SRH's win broke a five-game losing streak to KKR and pushed them up to 6th place on the table, ending their campaign on a high.
In what could be MS Dhoni is final IPL game, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) delivered a statement 83-run win against Gujarat Titans (GT) in Ahmedabad. Dhoni's team posted 230/5 – their best total of the season – thanks to Dewald Brevis' explosive 57 off 23 balls and supporting cameos from Ayush Mhatre (34) and Urvil Patel (37).
CSK attacked early with the bat. Mhatre thrashed Arshad Khan for 28 runs in an over, while Conway chipped in with a solid 52. Brevis stole the show in the death overs with a 19-ball fifty, smashing Rashid Khan and company to all parts.
GT soon collapsed, losing three wickets in the powerplay while chasing 231 target. Rutherford, Jos Buttler, and Shubman Gill did not have an impact on the game. Anshul Kamboj and Noor Ahmad shone with the ball, claiming three wickets each, while Jadeja's double strike shut down any remaining hopes for GT.
GT finished on 147 all out, leaving their playoff hopes shaky. CSK, despite the win, ended at the bottom of the table – a disappointing season, but a memorable farewell for their legendary skipper.
