Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will be up against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the second match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 scheduled at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on March 23. Both the teams will start their campaign in the afternoon game of the first double-header day of the ongoing season.
SRH march into the competition after retaining their core. Pat Cummins remains their skipper. Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head will be the two explosive openers. Heinrich Klaasen and Nitish Kumar Reddy form their middle-order. Their most prominent new signings are Ishan Kishan and Mohammad Shami.
Rajasthan Royals are relying on their Indian pool of players. They released Jos Buttler, Trent Boult and Yuzvendra Chahal prior to the auction. They have added Jofra Archer and Wanindu Hasaranga into the mix. Riyan Parag will lead the side in the first few games as Sanju Samson will play only as a pure batter due to a finger injury.
