Kings would have been confident of victory having scored a daunting 245-6, with captain Shreyas Iyer striking 82 from 36 balls.<\/p>\n
Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya got their side off to a strong start with an opening partnership of 66, before Iyer added 71 with Nehal Wadhera.<\/p>\n
Iyer was the last of four wickets to fall to Harshal Patel (4-42), while Marcus Stoinis muscled an unbeaten 34 from 11 to close the innings.<\/p>\n
But Abhishek and Travis Head got Sunrisers off to a flying start in their reply, passing 100 in the eighth over.<\/p>\n
Head was finally caught at long-on by Glenn Maxwell off Yuzvendra Chahal for a 37-ball 66, by which time Sunrisers were 171-1 in the 13th over.<\/p>\n
Abhishek reached a 40-ball hundred from the final ball of the same over, raising a piece of paper saying “This is for the Orange Army” in acknowledgement of his side’s supporters.<\/p>\n
When Abhishek was finally dismissed, his side were 222-2, and Heinrich Klaasen and Ishan Kishan guided them home with nine balls to spare.<\/p>\n
Sunrisers rise two places from the bottom of the table to sit eighth with two wins and four defeats, while Kings remain in sixth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
