Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) were outstanding in the 2024 Indian Premier League, setting several records, including the highest total in the history of the competition and the most runs scored during the powerplay. With their brutal batting style and strategy, they advanced to the championship game. But the batting unit fell short of expectations in the top match, as the Pat Cummins-led team succumbed to the Kolkata Knight Riders by eight wickets.
The IPL 2025 template hasn’t been altered by the team yet. Through the mega auction, the 2016 champions increased their firepower by include players like Ishan Kishan and Abhinav Manohar. Along with Nitish Kumar Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen, they also kept the opening pair of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma.
Aakash Chopra, a former cricket player, stated that he anticipates SRH to “keep hitting” in the upcoming season.
Previously, Rahul Tripathi or Mayank Agarwal would serve as anchors, but these days, the 47-year-old pointed out, they are populated by powerful individuals. According to Chopra, they would use the same template as the previous year.
The fact that they will strike and continue to strike is their first obvious strength. There’s no stopping them. In the past, Rahul Tripathi or Mayank Agarwal occasionally raised questions in the middle, but these days, they claim that there are no questions at all. On his YouTube channel, Chopra stated, “The first three hitters are left-handers, and they all perform well.”
Travis Head, Ishan Kishan, and Abhishek Sharma are all powerful stroke creators. A lot of depth in the batting is revealed if Heinrich Klaasen, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Abhinav Manohar are in the top three and then follow. They,” he continued.
Hyderabad, on the other hand, adjusted their bowling lineup by releasing Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan, and Umran Malik. In their place, they have Harshal Patel, Mohammed Shami, Rahul Chahar, and Simarjeet Singh, among others. According to Chopra, SRH has improved their bowling unit.
It appears like Adam Zampa will need to be included in the starting lineup given the team’s level of preparation. The bowling has significantly improved from before. I think they’re really attractive. Chopra noted, “The bowling is considerably better now than it was before.
