IPL 2025: Furious Nitish Kumar Reddy slams helmet after frustrating dismissal vs LSG!

Sunrisers Hyderabad all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy suffered an emotional breakdown during the IPL 2025 game between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Thursday, March 28.

Slams Helmet on Ground

In a viral video in which Reddy is seen walking back to the pavilion after his dismissal visibly agitated. In a fit of rage, he threw his helmet onto the stairs. The mishap occurred on the first ball of the 14th over of Ravi Bishnoi. The leg-spinner bowled a tossed-up delivery on middle stump, and Nitish tried to drive down the ground. He totally misunderstood the googly, and the ball hit his middle stump. He scored 32 runs in 28 deliveries, decorating his knock with two fours.

Anger After LSG Dismissal

Nitish Reddy's early exit then left SRH reeling. Heinrich Klaasen contributed a useful 26 but was run out in a confusion with Aniket Verma, and even though late cameos from Verma (26 off 13) and skipper Pat Cummins (18 off 4) were seen, SRH could only reach 190/9 in their 20-over quota. Shardul Thakur's outstanding bowling effort (4/34) set the stage for LSG's win. Thakur picked up the key wickets of Abhishek Sharma (6), Ishan Kishan (0), Abhinav Manohar (2), and Mohammed Shami (1), leaving SRH reeling. Pursuing a score of 191 runs in Hyderabad, LSG sprinted to 193/5 in 16.1 overs. Nicholas Pooran smashed a scorching 70 runs off 26 balls, hitting six fours and six sixes. Mitchell Marsh also chipped in with a rapid-fire 52 off 31 balls, hitting seven fours and two sixes.
