Key Moments from SRH vs MI, Match 41 of IPL 2025

1. Boult, Chahar give MI early advantage with new-ball mastery

Boult and Chahar combined well to dismiss the first four batters in SRH’s batting order. After being reduced to 13/4 in 4.1 overs, the 2016 champions were always behind the eight-ball. Boult came back to bowl the last over and picked up two more wickets to finish with excellent figures of 4/26 in his four overs.

2. Klaasen puts up brave fight against heavy odds

The South African wicketkeeper-batter was in no mood to throw in the white towel despite his teammates falling like nine pins at the top of the order. He smashed 71 runs off 44 balls, hitting nine fours and two sixes. Klaasen almost single-handedly took SRH to a respectable total.

1. Rohit Sharma scores back-to-back half-centuries

After struggling in the first half of the tournament, Rohit is showing his class, much to the delight of the MI management and fans. The 37-year-old had registered a half-century in MI’s last game against Chennai Super Kings. He followed it up with another fifty against SRH on Wednesday. Rohit scored 70 off just 46 balls, belting eight fours and three sixes.
