The second match of IPL (Indian Premier League) 2025 is underway between SRH (Sunrisers Hyderabad) and RR (Rajasthan Royals). SRH vs RR is a noon game on Sunday taking place in the home ground of Hyderabad. SRH is off the mark in its own style, scoring close to 100 runs in the powerplay.
The aggressive start from Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head allowed SRH to get plenty of runs in the first few overs. Jofra Archer was brought into attack by RR to bowl the fifth over of the powerplay with the hopes to stop the run flow and get a wicket. But nothing of that sort happened, as Archer was blasted with boundaries back to back by Travis Head.

Head played all the six deliveries, and while 22 runs came off the bat, one run came from a wide, making the total runs from the over 23. Here’s how the over looked like – four, six, dot, four, wide, four, and a four. In fact, one of the sixes was 105 meters in distance.
