Sunrisers Hyderabad, batting first, put only a total of 163 runs on the board before losing all of their ten wickets in 18.4 overs. In this 163-run, Aniket alone has scored 74 runs against 41 balls. Against a formidable Mitchell Starc, who took 5 wickets in this match, and Kuldeep Yadav, who took 3, Aniket was like playing for fun. Cricket fans present at the ACA VDCA International Cricket Stadium-Visakhapatnam stadium witnessed 6 huge sixes come out of Verma's bat, along with five 4s. Apart from Aniket, only Heinrich Klaasen (19 balls, 32 runs) added a significant amount of runs to the scoreboard.

And he did it with ease 🫡

Who is Aniket Verma?

Aniket Verma was an uncapped player for the Sunrisers Hyderabad who is now under the spotlight for his brilliant 74-run innings. Verma, hailing from Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, played competitive matches in Madhya Pradesh. The 23-year-old batter emerged as the top scorer in the Madhya Pradesh Premier League, where he scored 273 runs in 6 matches for Bhopal Leopards, including a lightning-fast 41-ball-123 innings.

In a video shared by the Sunrisers on their Hyderabad, he was asked about his hobby; in reply, Verma said, 'Mujhe six marna pasad hai' (I love to hit over boundaries). That's what he did against the Delhi Capitals—hitting sixes.

The current season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has seen a number of exceptionally long and breathtaking sixes, with the batters easily clearing the boundary with their brute strength. Going forward, here are the longest sixes from the season thus far:

Travis Head (SRH) - 105m

Travis Head, representing the Sunrisers Hyderabad, hit the ball out of the park in the Rajasthan Royals (RR) match by scoring a one-of-a-kind 105-meter long six, which eventually took the prize for being the season's longest.

Aniket Verma (SRH) - 102m

One of the Young Guns for Sunrisers Hyderabad, Aniket Verma, went berserk by cracking a 102-meter six off the bowling of a Delhi Capitals (DC) bowler. Verma, in the match against DC, played a fabulous shot that was a full-length delivery and off the pads of the DC pacer. He moved to the off-side and sent the ball way above deep mid-wicket into the stands.

IPL 2025: Aniket Verma Impresses quick-fire knock 36 Off 13 Balls for SRH

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s young talent player, Aniket Verma, made a strong impact in the IPL 2025 match against Lucknow Super Giants in Hyderabad on Thursday. Batting at number six, he scored 36 runs off just 13 balls, clearing the fences five times without hitting a single four.

Aniket, who comes from Madhya Pradesh, was bought by SRH for INR 30 lakhs at the IPL auction. He doesn’t have much experience at the senior domestic level, having played just one T20 match in the 2024-25 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. However, he grabbed attention in the Madhya Pradesh Premier League, where he was the top run-scorer with 244 runs in five innings at an incredible strike rate of over 205.
