Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) secured an emphatic 80-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their IPL 2025 clash at Eden Gardens on April 3, but it was their post-match social media activity that stole the spotlight. Targeting SRH’s star batter Travis Head after yet another dismal outing against them, KKR’s official handle posted a pointed jab that has ignited debate among fans and pundits alike.
Travis Head’s struggles continue against KKR
Head, one of SRH’s most explosive batters, managed just 4 runs off 2 balls before being dismissed by KKR pacer Vaibhav Arora in the third over. Chasing a daunting 201, SRH crumbled to 120 all out, handing KKR their fifth consecutive win over the Hyderabad franchise.
Head’s latest failure adds to an unenviable record against KKR, with scores of 0 (2 balls), 0 (4 balls), and now 4 (2 balls) in his last three encounters. Despite his overall IPL 2025 form—140 runs in 4 matches at a strike rate of 191.78—Head has been unable to crack the KKR code.

KKR’s social media dig sparks controversy
Following the dismissal, KKR’s social media team wasted no time in capitalizing on Head’s woes. The franchise posted a graphic with the caption, “Head-ing towards the business, right from the start,” a clear nod to the Australian’s struggles against their bowling attack. The post, while celebrated by some KKR fans for its wit, drew criticism from others who labeled it an avoidable taunt.

This isn’t the first time KKR have targeted Head online. Similar posts in previous seasons have highlighted his consistent failures against them, turning their dominance into a running narrative. With KKR’s bowlers, including Arora and Andre Russell (who took 3 wickets in the match), proving too much for SRH yet again, the franchise seems intent on keeping the psychological edge—both on the field and off it.
