NEW DELHI: Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) batting all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer once again proved to be Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) nemesis, smashing his third consecutive half-century against them in the IPL. The left-hander’s 60 off just 29 balls at Eden Gardens on Thursday helped KKR post a competitive 200/6 in their IPL 2025 clash.
With this innings, Iyer joined an elite list of batters who have scored three or more consecutive fifties against SRH in the IPL. Only Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson, with four back-to-back fifties against SRH, and Faf du Plessis, who also notched three against them, have achieved this feat before.
