Ravi Bishnoi knocked over SRH’s dangerman and well-set batter Nitish Kumar Reddy against the run of play in match seven of the IPL 2025 season. Turning up for the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, Bishnoi sent down a tossed-up delivery full towards off-stump, before pegging back Nitish’s furniture as the SRH lost its fifth wicket at the start of the 15th over of the innings.
Earlier in the match, LSG captain Rishabh Pant had won the toss and opted to field first against the Pat Cummins-led ‘Orange Army’.

Cunning LSG leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi delivered the much-needed breakthrough for his side with the wicket of number four SRH batter Nitish Kumar Reddy. Employed to bowl the 15th over of the innings, Bishnoi castled Nitish Reddy after the latter reached 32 from 28 balls.
The LSG cricketer celebrated his lone wicket of the evening by roaring in anger at Reddy’s face before finishing his four-over spell with figures of 1-42.
Earlier in the match, LSG fast bowler Shardul Thakur struck twice with the new ball by picking up the wickets of SRH opener Abhishek Sharma and firebrand number three Ishan Kishan. Precariously placed at 15-2, Australian run machine Travis Head slapped a quick 47 during his 61-run partnership with Nitish Kumar Reddy.
Aniket Verma bludgeoned 36 runs off just 13 balls in the middle overs while South African-based stumper Heinrich Klaasen made a calculated 26.
The SRH eventually reached a competitive 190-9 from 20 overs courtesy of a sizzling four-ball cameo of 18 runs from captain Pat Cummins.
