‘Huge Asset’: Ambati Rayudu Hails Ishan Kishan After SRH Book IPL 2026 Playoff Spot

By IANS News May 19, 2026 • 12:36 PM View: 259

Chennai Super Kings: Former India batter Ambati Rayudu praised the temperament and versatility of Ishan Kishan after the keeper-batter played a key role in Sunrisers Hyderabad's must-win five-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings that ensured their spot in the IPL 2026 playoffs.

On a difficult pitch at Chepauk, the wicketkeeper-batter smashed a 70-ball 47 that saw him stitch a 75-run match-winning partnership with Heinrich Klaasen for the Sunrisers Hyderabad after they lost both Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma at the start of their run chase.

"It was stopping and turning and I think he was the man who stepped up and he has stepped up on a number of tough wickets this season," Rayudu said on ESPNCricinfo Timeout show.
