In a riveting encounter during the ongoing IPL 2025, Aniket Verma of Sunrisers Hyderabad dazzled with his batting prowess against Delhi Capitals, drawing commendation from cricket stalwarts Cheteshwar Pujara and Ian Bishop. Despite the team's faltering performance, which led to their defeat, Verma's heroics were a highlight.

The Sunrisers, having opted to bat, found themselves struggling at 37/4, largely due to a fierce bowling display by Delhi's Mitchell Starc. Verma, undeterred, took the crease and partnered with Heinrich Klaasen to forge a 77-run stand, injecting hope into the Sunrisers' innings.

After Klaasen's exit, Verma continued his assault, but his innings concluded at 74 runs off 41 balls, a knock halted by Kuldeep Yadav's spin. Applauded for his fearless approach and shot selection, Verma's character shone through against a formidable bowling lineup, as both Pujara and Bishop acclaimed his potential.
