IPL 2025, Match 27: SRH vs PBKS - Playing XIs Status

SRH have many issues in the squad, and we will not be shocked if we experience some big changes in the playing XI. Experienced left-arm pacer Jaydev Unadkat should stay in the team, who replaced injured Harshal Patel in the previous game and bowled two overs. Adam Zampa’s inclusion seems now necessary for the franchise. 

Australian cricketer Marcus Stoinis is the major weak link in the PBKS side, and the Afghan all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai can be a stronger alternative option for the franchise.
