The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad sets the stage for the second clash of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 scheduled on March 23 at 3:30 PM IST with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) locking horns against Rajasthan Royals (RR).
Pat Cummins captains SRH, who were at their explosive best in the IPL 2024. The runners-up have stuck with their core, retaining Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen, while adding Ishan Kishan and Mohammad Shami into the mix to strengthen their unit even more.
RR will be out for revenge as they were ousted by SRH in the Qualifier 2 last year. They enter this season lighter, having let go of their key players like Jos Buttler, Trent Boult and Yuzvendra Chahal. Jofra Archer and Wanindu Hasaranga are two of their latest additions. Riyan Parag grabs the captaincy for the initial matches as Sanju Samson, nursing a finger injury, focuses solely on batting.
