April 12, 2025 | By BuzzFlix Sports Team
Hyderabad Turns Into a Run-Scoring Festival!
April 12, 2025, will go down in IPL history as Punjab Kings (PBKS) lit up the night sky in Hyderabad with a sensational batting display. Facing Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), the visitors rained boundaries and sixes, recording one of the most explosive starts in the league’s history.
From the very first over, PBKS showed their intent: attack, attack, and more attack.
Costly Blunders & Missed Chances for SRH
SRH’s reply got off to a strong start with Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma firing on all cylinders, reaching 77/0 in just 5.2 overs. However, a huge blunder by Yash Thakur cost PBKS dearly — he overstepped and bowled a no-ball just after dismissing the dangerous Abhishek Sharma. That moment might prove to be the game-changer!
📊 Live Score Update:
- SRH: 77/0 (5.2 overs)
- PBKS: 245/6 (20 overs)
- SRH need 169 runs in 88 balls
Powerplay Destruction: New Record Unleashed

“PBKS came with a mission, and in 6 overs, they broke records, spirits, and strategies!” – BuzzFlix Commentary Team
Captain Iyer Sets the Stadium on Fire
When the openers fell, Shreyas Iyer turned up the heat with an explosive knock—82 off just 36 balls! His calculated aggression was a perfect mix of elegance and brutality, peppered with 6 fours and 6 sixes.
The captain played anchor and aggressor, never letting the momentum drop — a captain’s knock in every sense!
Stoinis’ Last Over Madness: 4 Sixes in a Row!
Just when SRH hoped to restrict PBKS under 230, Marcus Stoinis went full beast mode. Facing Mohammed Shami, he launched FOUR consecutive sixes in the 20th over — a total of 27 runs off the last over!
That took PBKS to 245/6, making it one of their highest totals in IPL history.
SRH’s Costly Blunders—A Match-Losing Moment?
SRH started strong in the chase with Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma attacking back. But the moment of the match came in the 4th over when Yash Thakur, who had dismissed Abhishek, was ruled no-balled for overstepping.
That one mistake could cost SRH the game — Abhishek was on fire, and this lifeline might just push the game further out of reach.
