NEW DELHI: Kolkata Knight Riders\u2019 (KKR) batting all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer<\/a> once again proved to be Sunrisers Hyderabad\u2019s (SRH) nemesis, smashing his third consecutive half-century against them in the IPL. The left-hander\u2019s 60 off just 29 balls at Eden Gardens on Thursday helped KKR post a competitive 200\/6 in their IPL 2025 clash.
With this innings, Iyer joined an elite list of batters who have scored three or more consecutive fifties against SRH in the IPL. Only Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson, with four back-to-back fifties against SRH, and Faf du Plessis, who also notched three against them, have achieved this feat before.

Iyer\u2019s remarkable run against SRH includes 51 (28) in the 2024 Qualifier 1 and 52 (26) in last year\u2019s final. His latest knock was a blistering display of stroke play that gave KKR a strong foundation.
Reflecting on his innings during the mid-innings chat, Iyer acknowledged the challenging conditions: “It was evident that the ball was holding up a bit, not the Eden I have played over the last two years. I think this is a very competitive score. If we bowl and field well, we should win this.”
