From scoring 286 in their season opener to getting skittled for 116 and now 120, that’s one wild drop in form. And KKR — wow, they really flipped the switch! Venkatesh Iyer back to his explosive best, and Rinku Singh doing what he does best in the death overs. That 78-run finish in the last five overs was pure carnage. And the KKR quicks dismantling SRH’s famed top three in just 13 balls? That’s brutal. No wonder SRH are sitting rock bottom now. Hard to believe this is the same side that once looked like early contenders. Vaibhav Arora clearly has Travis Head’s number now—got him in the final and again here. That mental edge is real. And to see Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan both fall for just 2... it’s rough. When your top three combine for eight runs, the match is pretty much over before it begins. That stat — second-worst top-three start in SRH’s IPL history — really says it all. Add to that the collapse from 9 for 3 to 66 for 5, and you’re staring at a team that's lost its early season momentum completely. And now, their worst-ever defeat by runs in the IPL? This isn't just about one bad day—there are clear issues at the top and maybe even mentally. If they don’t rejig that top order fast, it’s going to be a long season. This one hurt more because there was nothing in the pitch to really justify that top-order collapse. No Starc? No problem for KKR. Vaibhav Arora, Harshit Rana, and Russell stepped up big time, and SRH’s supposedly world-beating top order crumbled like a house of cards. Head ballooning one to mid-off second ball set the tone. Then Abhishek and Kishan followed in equally tame fashion. And the fact that Russell dropped a sitter but then bounced right back to pick a wicket next over? That just shows how KKR had the intensity SRH completely lacked. And Klaasen, their Mr. Dependable, was the only one who looked remotely like he could fight, but once he fell, the rest folded fast. SRH’s innings really felt like one of those doomed chases where the fight was more cosmetic than convincing. Sure, Reddy, Mendis, and Klaasen tried, but by the time Klaasen looked like anchoring, the asking rate had already gone out of hand. And those five overs of Narine + Varun? Pure chokehold. 33 runs, 2 wickets, and all the momentum lost. Then Arora comes back and takes out Klaasen, and Varun nearly bags a hat-trick? Game over. SRH bowled out for 120 chasing 200 just screams tactical and temperament failure. And yeah, KKR’s top order wasn’t perfect either. Narine and de Kock failing again is a concern. But this time the middle order really showed up. That Rahane-Raghuvanshi partnership changed the mood of the innings in no time. Rahane’s three sixes before even a boundary? Vintage swagger. It's kind of wild how he’s reinventing himself in T20s at this stage.
