IPL 2025: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs. Rajasthan Royals Sunrisers Hyderabad, the runners-up from the previous edition, will begin as favorites in their first Indian Premier League (IPL) match against the Rajasthan Royals on Sunday thanks to a well-balanced group that includes a strong batting lineup and seasoned spinners.
With a belter of a track likely to offer at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Sunrisers, who have some of the most explosive batters in their lineup in Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and Heinrich Klaasen, would fancy a huge total in the afternoon match of the doubleheader day.
In fact, Sunrisers are predicted to use their firepower to reach the highly regarded 300-run total if any club can do so after batting first.
It is also anticipated that the Sunrisers’ arsenal would grow with the return of India all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy after an injury. The Sunrisers fans should anticipate some spectacular strokes given the current form Abhishek and Head have been in.
Along with spinner Adam Zampa, another seasoned player, the bowling department will be manned by the seasoned speed tandem of Mohammed Shami and skipper Pat Cummins.
The Royals, who will be without captain Sanju Samson because of a finger injury, seem to be in a far worse position than the 2016 victors Sunrisers. Samson can only bat with his finger protected; he is unable to field or maintain wickets. Should he arrive as an Impact Player, it won’t be shocking.
The 2008 champion Royals’ temporary captain for their first three IPL games will be batsman Riyan Parag.
