KKR Defeats SRH by Seven Wickets, Ending Their Five-Match Winning Streak

Kolkata Knight Riders ended Sunrisers Hyderabad's five-match winning streak with a seven-wicket victory at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. SRH, led by Pat Cummins, started strongly with contributions from Travis Head and Ishan Kishan but fell short of their target, scoring 165. KKR's disciplined bowling, including key wickets from Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine, restricted SRH. Cummins acknowledged it was not their best day, citing an expensive over and missed opportunities to post a higher total as factors in the loss.
