IPL 2022, SRH vs KKR Live Cricket Score Streaming Online Today: After defeating CSK and GT in back to back matches, SRH are eyeing a hattrick of victories. (Twitter/Sunrisers Hyderabad)
Cummins in to bowl the 18th and Markram has hit a four and a 6 off his 3rd and fourth ball!!! Oh my word!!! Just six needed now and Markram ends the match with a six!!! All over. SRH win by 7 wickets.
Pretty close now for Sunrisers. KKR, meanwhile, need wickets and they need them now. Narine to bowl the 17th. That's 50 up for Markram now. SRH 158/3 after 17 overs.
The last ball of Russell's over went straight through the keeper and fetched Hyderabad a boundary. 16th over starts and Varun will bowl this one. A lucky four for Markram now as the ball gets an outside edge, goes through the keeper for a four. Next ball, Markram hits a maximum. Really not Varun's night. Leaking runs at the moment. 13 off tis one. SRH 153/3 after 16 overs.
Russell in to bowl the 15th and that's a 6!!! This time by Tripathi. He is relentless. He's gone the next ball!!! Goes for another big one and is straight down the throat of Venkatesh Iyer. Tripathi departs. SRH 133/3 after 14.2 overs.
We are back after strategic timeout and Umesh will start proceedings. KKR need wickets now. Any one wicket will turn the match on its head. That's a boundary by Markram that just evades the keeper. The next one is also sent to ther boundary for another 4. The shackles are off. Another 4 and that's a hattrick of boundaries. SRH 127/2 after 14 overs.
Sunil Gavaskar went wow, deservingly so, after Rahul Tripathi, one of the most talented Indian batsmen in IPL, lofted Varun Chakravarthy over cover boundary. He crash-landed Sunil Narine too and also punched Pat Cummins over covers. Over hte years, for various IPL teams, he has been opener, anchor, finisher - and done all roles with aplomb against pace and spin. In his early years, when in the Pune team, he picked one trait from MS Dhoni that he still follows. Sleeping late. In non-match nights, he would sleep at 10.30 pm but that would change. “He would sleep late. I tried to follow Dhonibhai as I have to be at my best at 7.30. Sleep at 2-3 in the night, get up at 10-11. Then again try to get some afternoon nap. Sleep as much as I can. So, there are not too many thoughts, fidgetiness. Sleep more, relax and around 3.30-4 or so, I start getting ready and fresh and ready to go by 6.30. And try to keep this routine on non-match days too,” he once told SG Sports. Be a conscious insomniac if you want to do well in the IPL, then.

Narine in to bowl the 13th over. A quieter phase of the match now as Hyderabad look to play Cummins carefully. His over had yielded just 4. Narine is also having a decent little over. Just 4 off this over as well. SRH 113/2 after 13 overs.
It has been a topsy- turvy ride for Rahul Tripathi. In the initial phase of his IPL career, when he was playing for the Rajasthan Royals, the swashbuckling batter was struggling with his form and his confidence was low that he started doubting his abilities. It was very difficult for him to adjust to a role in the middle order for the franchise, as he used to open the innings when he was first picked by Rising Pune Supergiant. (READ MORE)
Would you know it!! Tripathi doles out the same treatment to KKR's other spinner, Narine. Slammed that over long-on. 10 off the over ultimately. SRH 105/2 after 11 overs.
Chakaravarthy in to bowl the 10th over and Markram promptly takes one to give the strike to Tripathi who takes another one to rotate the strike. And Markram has come in on the act and hits a huge six!!! And a four to follow. Not Varun's night tonight. Tripathi on 49 and that's his 50 with a single. SRH 95/2 after 10 overs.
Here's Narine now to bowl the 9th over and he will need to stem some runs for his team. He has had a pretty decent tournament thus far. Just 4 off this over. SRH 81/2 after 9 overs.
Kane Williamson was in a mood to pull any ball that was pitched marginally short, or even short of length. Unlike many modern-day batsmen, and some of the past masters, who pulls compulsively on the front-foot, he does it the orthodox way. He shifts his weight onto the back-foot, presses back deep into the crease, arches his upper body like the curve of a bow and swivels as he completes the shot. The absence of nonviolent movements makes the pose a collector’s item. He unfurled a gorgeous one against Umesh Yadav. Four balls later, he essayed a more powerful one against Andre Russell. The ball had bounced more than he had judged, but rose with the bounce and flayed him through mid-wicket. The next ball was identical and he recoiled for the pull. But the ball, an off-cutter that skid on, didn’t bounce as much as he had expected, and ended up dragging the ball onto the stumps. Never has Williamson, who usually wears restraint in both joy and agony, looked so livid. He bent down, cursed himself, and in an uncharacteristic burst of rage, almost blew the stumps away.

Chakaravarthy is also meted with the same treatment as Tripathi goes ballistic. A four off one ball and a huge six off the other. He is making his former team pay. And another 6!!! Tripathi has really taken charge of the innings here. The mystery spinner is not a mystery anymore for Tripathi. 18 off this over. SRH 77/2 after 8 overs.
Debutant Aman Khan to bowl the 7th over now. That's edged and goes straight to the boundary for a four. Another beautiful shot that goes for a six to finish the over. 13 off this one. SRH 59/2 after 7 overs
Williamson hits a boundary against Andre Russell. OMG! Skipper Williamson departs. That's a huge blow for SRH. Russell takes revenge now. Tripathi hits a six to end the over. SRH 46-2 after 6 overs.
Williamson pulls it this time! How quickly he transfers his weight on the back-foot. What a great shot by Williamson against Umesh Yadav. He gets a boundary. SRH 35-1 after 5 overs.
Rahul Tripathi chips it over the covers and gets a boundary against Cummins. That's a very good shot by Tripathi. He is looking good now. SRH 27-1 after 4 overs.
Rahul Tripathi hits a boundary against Umesh Yadav. He flicks it this time off his pads for a four. Tripathi is so good when he hits it off his pads. SRH 15-1 after 3 overs.
Cummins to bowl the second over for KKR. He gets the first wicket, and Abhishek Sharma goes back to the pavilion. Early blow for Sunrisers. Good delivery by Cummins but Williamson ends the over with a boundary. SRH 9-1 after 2 overs.
The way Jagadeesha Suchith stormed across for the 20th over and gestured his preferred fielding positions to the captain Kane Williamson was quite something. There must have been pressure after being suddenly pressed to bowl the final over, but he looked confident. He struck with his first ball and had just given one run in three balls, including a dot ball to Andre Russel. As a kid, Suchith was interested in gymnastics and would watch other kids play cricket after his training ended. Slowly, the interest grew, and decided to follow his favourite player Daniel Vettori. And here he was now, given the challenge of trying to keep Rusell quiet. He went for his under-cut sliders from a length and Russell walloped the first two for sixes. The last ball slid down the leg side and the umpire reckoned it ran off the thin edge to the fine-leg boundary though Russel seemed to suggest to a curious Nicholas Pooran that it went off his thigh. Despite three tight balls, Suchith had given away 17 runs. Russell, as is his wont, ripped off the gloves with his teeth and marched off like a tiger
