SRH batting breakdown: why 156 was too few
Rajiv Gandhi Stadium is one of the most batting-friendly surfaces in the IPL. SRH have scored 190+, 206, and other totals against LSG here in previous seasons. A score of 156/9 at this venue is not a tactical decision, It’s a bowling performance by LSG forcing SRH significantly below par.
What people think vs reality:
- What people think: “156 is an easy chase on this surface, so the match was straightforward.”
- Reality: 156/9 means LSG took 9 SRH wickets in a venue historically hostile to bowling. That is the real match story. The chase was easy because the bowling was exceptional.
At this venue, SRH’s highest total vs LSG was 190 in IPL 2025. By conceding only 156, LSG’s bowlers essentially won the match in the first innings.
Unique insight: SRH losing 9 wickets at Rajiv Gandhi while only scoring 156 is their second-worst total at that ground in this fixture history. The 2022 match at DY Patil (SRH 121/8) was the lowest. SRH’s 156 here is the “hidden collapse” it looks respectable until you compare it to their 190 and 206 in the same fixture.mykhel+1
LSG chase breakdown: How they won with 1 ball to spare
LSG chased 157 in 19.5 overs, winning by 5 wickets with 1 ball remaining.
Given the par total, a 5-wicket win with 1 ball left suggests LSG’s chase was not as comfortable as the result line implies. SRH’s bowlers made them work, and the fact that LSG ended on 160/5 (losing 5 wickets for a 157-run target) shows SRH’s bowling unit performed far better than their batting.
Counterintuitive idea: LSG’s win was more convincing in the first innings than the second. The real match-winner was their bowling attack restricting SRH, not their batters chasing 157.
IPL 2025 Match 7: LSG chase 191 with 23 balls to spare

SRH’s under-par total despite the venue
Again at Rajiv Gandhi. Again, SRH falling below 200. In a ground where they chased 206 against LSG at Lucknow one month later, scoring only 190/9 at home suggests LSG’s bowling attack creates problems that SRH’s own conditions don’t fully compensate for.
SRH lose 9 wickets across their innings 8 wickets for 63 runs from overs 11 to 20 which is the classic LSG template against SRH: restrict the powerplay damage, then dismantle the middle order and tail.
LSG’s dominance in the chase: 23 balls to spare
Chasing 191 with 23 balls to spare (16.1 overs) is clinical, not lucky.
LSG completed this chase at nearly 12 runs per over in the middle phase. The fall of wickets shows 4 wickets lost in the chase but never in a cluster the kind of control that says “we always had this”.
Slightly bold opinion: This is the match that should have permanently repositioned LSG as the IPL’s most reliable SRH-beaters. Winning a chase of 191 with 23 balls to spare at the opponent’s home ground, when SRH’s bowling lineup includes genuine pace threats, is as dominant as T20 wins get.
IPL 2025 Match 61: SRH’s revenge: chasing 206 in 18.2 overs
This is the only time in their 7-match rivalry that SRH have chased LSG’s total and won and they did it in extraordinary fashion.
| Format | LSG | SRH |
|---|---|---|

| Venue | Ekana Stadium, Lucknow | — |

LSG’s 205 (20 overs)
| Batter | Runs | Balls | 4s | 6s | SR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mitchell Marsh | 65 | 39 | 6 | 4 | 166.7 |
| Rishabh Pant | 61 | 38 | 4 | 4 | 160.5 |
| Aiden Markram | 7 | 6 | 1 | 0 | 116.7 |
| Ayush Badoni | 45 | 26 | 6 | 1 | 173.1 |
| Nicholas Pooran | 3 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 60.0 |
| Shardul Thakur | 3 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 50.0 |
LSG fall of wickets: 1–115 (Mitchell Marsh, 10.3), 2–124 (Rishabh Pant, 12), 3–159 (Markram, 15.4), 4–169 (Badoni, 17.4), 5–194 (Pooran, 19.3), 6–199 (Shardul, 19.4), 7–199 (Samad, 19.5).
LSG’s 205 is built on a Marsh-Pant partnership of 115 off the first 12 overs (80 runs in the next 8), then a death-overs collapse 5 wickets in the last 9 balls. Without that collapse, LSG post 220+.
SRH’s 206/4: Abhishek Sharma’s 59 off 20: the IPL innings nobody analysed enough
| Batter | Runs | Balls | 4s | 6s | SR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Abhishek Sharma | 65 | 39 | 6 | 4 | 166.7 |
| Atharva Taide | — | — | — | — | Out 1.4 ov |
| Ishan Kishan | — | — | — | — | Out 7.3 ov |
| Heinrich Klaasen | 47 | — | — | — | Out 17.3 ov |
Note: Multiple sources record Abhishek Sharma’s score in this match differently (59 off 20 in one source, 65 off 39 in another). The Indian Express full ball-by-ball confirms 65 off 39. The key point: he scored at a strike rate between 166–295 and set SRH’s chase on fire from ball one.africa.espn+1
What most people miss: This is the match where SRH proved they can chase 200+ at an away ground. Every other LSG vs SRH match (at Hyderabad or neutral venues) has been won by LSG. SRH’s only wins in this rivalry have required extraordinary individual performances: Abhishek’s explosion here, and the 10-wicket win in 2024.
Unique insight: Abhishek Sharma’s opening burst didn’t just score runs it removed the psychological weight of a 206-run target in the first four overs. By the 7th over, SRH were already 99/1 at Ekana. At that point, LSG’s bowling lineup no matter how well-organised was mathematically facing a near-impossible resistance.

| Overall | 2 | 5 | 7 |
The pattern hiding inside the results: LSG have won 2 out of 3 matches at SRH’s home ground Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, Hyderabad. That is extraordinary. Most IPL teams struggle at Hyderabad, where SRH’s pace and bounce exploits visiting batters. LSG win there by making SRH bat below their own venue’s par (190/9 in 2025, 156/9 in 2026), then chasing whatever modest target is set.
Common mistake fans make: Looking at SRH’s overall batting reputation “SRH score 200 at will” and expecting that to apply against LSG. It doesn’t. In 5 of 7 LSG vs SRH matches, SRH’s bowling attack has been good enough to push LSG into chases, but SRH’s batting has been restricted under their own standard by LSG’s bowling attack.
Original observation: SRH’s identity is built on explosive batting Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Klaasen. But against LSG, their bowlers rarely have enough to defend, because LSG’s bowlers take away SRH’s powerplay runway before their bat can do the damage. The rivalry is essentially a case study in how a well-organised bowling attack can neutralise even the most explosive batting lineup in the IPL.
Points table impact IPL 2026
After LSG’s win in Match 10 (April 5, 2026), here is where both teams stood:
| Team | M | W | L | Pts | NRR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PBKS | 5 | 4 | 1 | 8 | +1.30 |
| RCB | 5 | 3 | 2 | 6 | +0.89 |
| LSG | 4 | 3 | 1 | 6 | +0.72 |
| RR | 5 | 3 | 2 | 6 | +0.44 |
| SRH | 4 | 2 | 2 | 4 | −0.18 |
| GT | 4 | 2 | 2 | 4 | −0.29 |
| DC | 3 | 2 | 1 | 4 | +0.21 |
| CSK | 5 | 1 | 4 | 2 | −0.91 |
| KKR | 5 | 1 | 4 | 2 | −0.82 |
| MI | 4 | 0 | 4 | 0 | −1.36 |

LSG jump to 6 points with a healthy NRR of +0.72, placing them third. SRH’s loss keeps them on 4 points a position that needs immediate recovery given the congested playoff race.
Counterintuitive idea: SRH’s loss here is doubly damaging. Not only do they drop 2 points, they drop them to LSG, a direct rival, and their NRR dips negative (−0.18) at a point in the season where NRR becomes a playoff tiebreaker.
