Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) Playing XI vs Delhi Capitals (KKR) IPL 2025
Openers: Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma
The explosive left-handed duo of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma made a strong impact in the powerplay last season but has struggled to maintain the same form in recent matches.
-
Travis Head has looked aggressive at the top but hasn’t converted his starts into big scores.
-
Abhishek Sharma, despite showing glimpses of brilliance, has failed to capitalize on his starts, often losing his wicket after quick runs.
For SRH to have a strong start, these two must find their rhythm against KKR’s pace attack.
Middle-Order Batters and All-Rounders: Ishan Kishan (wk), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen, Abhinav Manohar, Aniket Verma
SRH’s middle order started the tournament explosively, with Ishan Kishan scoring a maiden IPL century in his debut for Hyderabad.
-
Ishan Kishan has played the attacking role but needs consistency.
-
Heinrich Klaasen and Nitish Kumar Reddy were solid in the first match but have struggled in the last two games.
-
Aniket Verma has been a bright spot, showing promising stroke play against spinners.
The SRH batting lineup will need to regain form to put pressure on KKR’s bowling attack.
Bowlers: Pat Cummins (c), Harshal Patel, Mohammed Shami, Simarjeet Singh, Adam Zampa
SRH’s bowling attack, led by Pat Cummins and Mohammed Shami, has not lived up to expectations.
-

-
Harshal Patel has been expensive in the death overs.
-
Adam Zampa, the key spinner, has yet to make a big impact.
With KKR’s strong batting lineup, Hyderabad’s bowling unit must improve their execution to restrict the opposition.
