Sunrisers Hyderabad playing XI for the IPL 2025 leaked!
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is all set to begin soon. The cricket extravaganza will be taking place from 22nd March with defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) taking on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the tournament opener at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will be in action on the second day of the league as they will be taking on Rajasthan Royals (RR) in their opening encounter. The match will be taking place at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Sunday (23rd March).
One of the favourites to win the IPL 2025 will be Sunrisers Hyderabad. The Pat Cummins-led side was a force to reckon with as they destroyed the opposition with their brutal power-hitting they registered massive totals on the board, giving a threat to the opposition.
This time around, too, SRH will be aiming to do the same as they have added more firepower to their squad. The Pat Cummins-led finished as the runners-up last year and, this time would be keen to go one step ahead and lift their second title in the league.
Coming to their playing XI, as per the reports in ESPNCricinfo, it is learned that Sunrisers Hyderabad are unlikely to change their opening combination. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma are all set to open the innings this year as well after forming the best opening pair last year.
Sunrisers Hyderabad's recruit, Ishan Kishan is all set to take the No.3 spot in the playing XI. He looked in terrific touch in the practice games as he slammed two back-to-back half-centuries. All-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy will be taking the No.4 spot after he impressed many last year.
South Africa batter Heinrich Klaasen will be at 5 followed by finishers in Aniket Verma and Abhinav Manohar. The trio will be important for the team down the order as a lot will be dependent on them as SRH would be eyeing a big score of 300 runs, which they were very close to last season.
Skipper Pat Cummins will be leading the bowling attack for Sunrisers Hyderabad. He will be getting support from Mohammed Shami and Harshal Patel. While Rahul Chahar will be there as a spinner. The reports added that Adam Zampa will be the impact player for the team.
