Playing XI Probables & Impact Subs: SRH vs MI (IPL 2025)
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) Probable XI
- Travis Head
- Abhishek Sharma
- Ishan Kishan
- Nitish Reddy
- Aniket Verma
- Heinrich Klaasen (WK)
- Abhinav Manohar/ Rahul Chahar
- Pat Cummins (C)
- Zeeshan Ansari
- Harshal Patel
- Mohammad Shami
- Eshan Malinga
Team Strategy: SRH’s batting has largely been disappointing this season, with their mainstays, Travis Head, Nitish Reddy, or, for that matter, Ishan Kishan, not being amongst the runs. Bowling, too, has faltered on most occasions. However, they will be happy with the returns of skipper Pat Cummins in the last couple of games
They would likely go with an unchanged XI that played in Mumbai and put on a much better show at Uppal.
Mumbai Indians (MI) Probable XI
- Ryan Rickelton (WK)
- Tilak Varma
- Suryakumar Yadav
- Hardik Pandya (C)
- Will Jacks
- Naman Dhir
- Rohit Sharma
- Mitchell Santner
- Jasprit Bumrah
- Vignesh Puthur
- Deepak Chahar
- Trent Boult
Team Strategy: The Mumbai Indians have shown signs of coming back with three successive wins, and the batting order is finally showing some consistency. While the bowling has been decent, pacers like Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult are yet to reach their best this season.
