Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have had a rough run in IPL 2025, winning just two out of their seven matches so far. This poor performance has placed them near the bottom of the points table, putting immense pressure on the team. To keep their playoff hopes alive, SRH now needs to win the majority of their remaining games, making each upcoming match a must-win situation in this highly competitive season.

Their recent loss to Mumbai Indians (MI) proved costly, not just in terms of points but also in worsening their Net Run Rate (NRR). In the IPL, NRR plays a crucial role, especially when multiple teams are tied on points. A poor NRR can keep a team out of the playoffs, even if they have enough wins. This makes every run and wicket vital for SRH moving forward in the tournament.

While SRH’s bowling unit has shown glimpses of quality, their batting lineup has failed to consistently deliver. The team has struggled to produce balanced performances, often faltering in one department or the other. To stay in the playoff race, SRH will need both their bowlers and batters to rise to the occasion and perform as a cohesive unit in the remaining fixtures.

Matches Left for SRH

SRH still have seven matches to play in the league stage:

Home matches (in Hyderabad):

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals 
Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians
Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kolkata Knight Riders

Away matches:

What SRH Needs to Do to Qualify

To qualify for the IPL 2025 playoffs, Sunrisers Hyderabad must aim to win at least six of their remaining seven matches. This would take them to 16 points, giving them a strong chance of making the top four. However, just winning may not be enough—they’ll need to ensure those victories come with significant margins to boost their Net Run Rate (NRR), which can be a crucial tiebreaker if multiple teams end the league stage with similar points.

Alongside chasing wins, SRH must focus on improving their consistency, especially in the batting department. While their bowlers have shown potential throughout the season, the batters haven’t delivered consistently. A balanced performance across departments is essential to convert close games into victories. With tough matches ahead, every player must step up and contribute, ensuring the team builds momentum and confidence. Winning consistently and maintaining a healthy NRR is SRH’s clearest path to securing a playoff spot this season.

IPL 2025 match 19 was played between SRH vs GT where GT captain Subhman Gill won the toss and elected to field first. Knowing and unknowingly SRH's strong point of batting is becoming their weak link. Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head who used to give a good start to the team haven't been successful in this season. Abhishek Sharma's form is still questionable and he hasn't performed up to his standards. Travis Head too had good starts but wasn't able to convert them into big scores. 
In today's match too both the batters came with an aggressive mindset but it didn't last long as Siraj removed both of the openers which has become a routine for them. Then Nitish Kumar and Henrich Klassen stepped up to resolve the solution where some of the damage was reduced. It was predicted that the pitch would play slowly due to the black soil condensing, but still, players were in their mode where Nitish was playing sensibly.

Sai Kishore Does The Damage
 When it felt that the partnership between Klassen and Nitish Kumar Reddy was getting stronger, Gill ultimately placed his prime spinner Sai Kishore in the attack where he bowled out dangerously looking Klassen though he got hit for a boundary at the last ball Kishore punched the next ball where the ball hit Klassen's leg stump and Kishore in his next over removed well going Nitish Kumar for 31 leaving the half of the side to the pavilion. 
Next to go under the belt was Kaminu Mendis who scored just one run. Then came Aniket Verma who tried to save the innings like he did in his previous match but he too couldn't stand too long in the crease where Siraj made him LBW though the review was taken but was no use at the end. 
Pat Cummins Comes For The Rescue
 After Aniket dismissal, there came the captain Pat Cummins who just assaulted him with his big bat swing. It was the last over of the SRH innings where impact sub Simarjeet was removed by Siraj taking 4 wickets in his excellent spell. But at the end, Pat Cummins delivered the final touch where he struck three boundaries against Ishant Sharma and hit a gigantic six, with that SRH score reaching above the 150 mark.

Top 3 Captain choices

Sai Sudharsan: In-form Sai Sudharsan is the second leading run-scorer in the IPL 2025 with 186 runs in three innings by scoring 74, 63, and 49 runs, respectively.

Travis Head: Among the SRH top-order batters, only Australian star Travis Head is in form with the scores of 67, 47, 22, and four runs, respectively. If he gets enough support from the other batters, Head can produce a powerful start for his team. 

Pat Cummins: While SRH are struggling, captain Pat Cummins has to play a key role for his franchise. In the tough bowling pitch in Hyderabad, skipper Cummins bowled impressively in their last game against the Lucknow Super Giants. His cameo with the bat will also play a crucial role in the batting. 

Top 3 Vice-captain choices

Jos Buttler: English star Jos Buttler started the IPL 2025 strongly with scores of 54, 39, and 73 not out, respectively. The Hyderabad venue generally produces batting-friendly pitches in recent T20 cricket, and Buttler can be one of the dangerous batters in the match. 

Mohammed Siraj: Although Mohammed Siraj started the IPL 2025 with a wicketless expensive bowling figures (0/54), the right-arm pacer scalped five wickets in the next two games, including picking up three wickets (3/19) in their last match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru to win the Player of the Match award. 

Heinrich Klaasen: Dangerous batter Heinrich Klaasen is one of the most consistent middle-order batters in present-day white-ball cricket. While his team had batting woes in their last three fixtures, Klaasen's scores in this IPL season were 34, 26, 32, and 33 runs, respectively. 

On Thursday evening (April 3), Kolkata Knight Riders vs SunRisers Hyderabad (KKR vs SRH) will be played in the 15th match of the IPL 2025 at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Let's check the Dream11 top captains and vice-captains of the IPL 2025.

IPL 2025, Match 15: KKR vs SRH Dream11 Top Captains And Vice-captains

Top 3 Captain choices

Travis Head: Australian cricketer Travis Head is one of the most dangerous batters, who can change the game with his ability. Despite some challenges, Head has provided good starts for his team in the early IPL 2025 by scoring 67, 47, and 22 runs, respectively. 

Sunil Narine: Caribbean all-rounder Sunil Narine is a very important name for KKR, who plays an important role for his franchise with his effective bowling and powerplay-friendly opening batting. He scored 44 runs in the season opener but still needs to find his top form, which he can bring in the upcoming fixtures. 

Varun Chakravarthy: As KKR are returning to the Eden Gardens, Varun Chakravarthy can play an important role in the important match against SRH. 

Top 3 Vice-captain choices

Heinrich Klaasen: South African middle-order batter Heinrich Klaasen is a dangerous and consistent batter. He scored 34, 26, and 32 runs in the ongoing IPL 2025.

Quinton de Kock: Former South African cricketer Quinton de Kock has to play a very crucial role for the defending champions. Although he was dismissed twice in single digits in early IPL 2025, he also scored a match-winning 97 not out against Rajasthan Royals.

Pat Cummins: While SRH are struggling, captain Pat Cummins can inspire his team, which he does regularly. Apart from his effective pace bowling, Cummins can make a significant contribution with the bat as a cameo in the lower order. 

IPL 2025 is just a mystery of turns where top-performing teams are dragged down to the bottom 4 positions and underperforming are playing some good cricket this season. That is why IPL has been such a fascinating game where it is unpredictable which team rise to the occasion. Well, the next game is played between the finalists of last season one is Sunrise Hyderabad and the other one is Kolkata Knight Riders. 
Kolkata won last year's final battle against Sunrises Hyderabad which was a dented final where SRH won the toss and elected to bat first that was the only thing that happened right to them after that it was totally bizarre where they just scored 116 runs only, losing all their wickets in the regular intervals. Kolkata won the match with 57 balls to spare and claimed their third title. But this time both team's fortunes have drastically changed. 
Read More: IPL 2025: Sunrises Hyderabad Playing 11 vs Kolkata Knight Riders
Kolkata and Hyderabad both the teams have won only one game in their 3 games which is quite adverse these two teams can change it but this can be changed if any team wins the match. Many players can just win the crunch moments of the game. 
1 Pat Cummins
 First on our list is the Australian skipper Pat Cummins who can make a huge difference with his all-round abilities He proved himself with bat and ball against LSG he hit 3 sixes in 3 balls and picked out two wickets in that match but unfortunately SRH lost the match but Pat Cummins all-round performance was appreciated through that match. SRH captain can be really dangerous too as his team has lost back-to-back games and, will definitely try hard to come out from these continuous defeats.

2. Andre Russell
 Dre Rus is the second man on our list who can create a big impact in this game as he did in last year's final where he picked three important wickets for Sunrishes batsmen from there the very for them was not yet possible. Same thing the Kolkata franchise would love to get back from him. Though his recent form is not great which is hurting Kolkata a lot, players like Russell just take one inning to turn around the match and who knows if it will win tomorrow against SRH.
3. Travis Head
 Australian opener Travis Head can be a game-changer if he gets ongoing. If you missed him at the start then it would be a danger sign for the opposite team. Head has been in good form in this season where he scored 65 runs at the opening game but couldn't go on much in the next two games as he got out early. It's better if you get him early if he stays long then it's going to be a headache for the opposition

On Sunday afternoon (March 30), the 10th match of the IPL 2025, Delhi Capitals vs SunRisers Hyderabad (DC vs SRH), has been scheduled at Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium (Visakhapatnam). Let's check out the Dream11 top captains and vice-captains selections for this match.

IPL 2025, Match 10: DC vs SRH Dream11 Top Captains And Vice-captains

Top 3 Captain's choices

Travis Head: Australian cricketer Travis Head is proving again why all teams fear him, as he has started the IPL 2025 by providing two solid starts for his team SRH. After scoring 67 off 31 balls (nine fours and three sixes) against Rajasthan Royals in their tournament opener, Head scored 47 off 28 balls (five fours and three sixes) against Lucknow Super Giants.  

Axar Patel: Indian all-rounder Axar Patel is in good form as an all-rounder. The leadership duty can be a huge task for Axar, but he is now capable of handling it. In their season opener, while Patel had the bowling figures of 3-0-18-0, he set up the dramatic chasing journey after coming to bat at 7/3 and scored a quick-fire 22 off 11 balls (three fours and one six).

KL Rahul: KL Rahul missed out on Delhi Capitals' season opener, but he is now ready for his debut for Delhi Capitals. He is in good form with the bat and is likely to take the middle-order batting role for his new IPL team. 

Top 3 Vice-captain's choices

Mitchell Starc: Australian left-arm fast bowler Mitchell Starc started the IPL 2025 season with three wickets against Lucknow Super Giants as he had the bowling figures of 4-0-42-3. Even though the batters hit him, Starc has the ability to return to the game by picking up wickets.

Kuldeep Yadav: The left-arm chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav is now a stronger bowler by improving his consistency with the ball. During Delhi's season opener, Kuldeep had the bowling figures of 4-0-20-2.

Pat Cummins: Australian captain Pat Cummins is one of the top cricketers. Besides his bowling, Cummins is also useful for his big hits, smashing sixes in the first three balls during their previous fixture against Lucknow Super Giants. In their last game, while all other SRH bowlers were struggling, captain Cummins provided a brave fight with two wickets, and both victims were set batters Mitchell Marsh (52) and Nicholas Pooran (70).  

Pat Cummins' Leadership: A Game-Changing Style

Cricket is as much a game of confidence and attitude as it is of ability. A good captain has a very important role to play in shaping the mind and attitude of the team. Indian cricketer Ishan Kishan recently praised Pat Cummins as a captain. He said that Cummins gives freedom to every single player regardless of the fact that he makes a century of runs or gets out on zero runs. This indicates one of the most important qualities of an exceptional captain to make others feel at ease in a moment of pressure.
The Role Played by the Inspirational Captain
It is not only a captain's duty to lead the team on the field but to establish a good and strong team culture. When the players feel safe and secure, they play more confidently. This Pat Cummins knows all too well because he is a team captain. When he leaves his players alone and free to play, they are more comfortable in risking things and just being themselves. With such a mindset, the players are focused on playing their own game naturally rather than being fearful of losing.

Ishan Kishan said, "hats off to Pat Cummins. He's given freedom to everyone in the team, it doesn't matter if we score a hundred or get out on a duck". pic.twitter.com/I0yqulbgTm

Freedom to do The most significant of these is trust. If the captain trusts his players, they are more at ease in taking risk decisions. Cummins' captaincy gives freedom to players to play aggressively without worrying about making errors. Such leadership not only enhances individual performances but also the team. Players are at liberty to take charge in an effort to make the team victorious.

The Indian Premier League has not only provided a platform for young players but has also allowed some out-of-turn careers to resurrect themselves after injuries or even a slow phase. There have been countless names over the years who have taken benefits out of IPL to reignite their careers, catching the eye of the national team, thereby slowly gaining back their lost legacy. Here is a brief about a few biggest names who have turned around their careers, thanks to the IPL.

1. Shane Watson (Australia)

Before joining the Rajasthan Royals in the first season of the IPL in 2008, Shane Watson struggled with injuries and inconsistencies in international cricket. However, his all-round performances in the IPL renewed him into relevance, which included winning the Player of the Tournament award in 2008. He then went on to become a mainstay once again for Australia and later slayed in the 2018 IPL final with a match-winning century for Chennai Super Kings.

2. Robin Uthappa (India)

Robin Uthappa's on-and-off relationship with the Indian national unit was cleared up by his IPL success, putting him back in the spotlight. He represented multiple franchises, but his best was in 2014 with the Kolkata Knight Riders, where he won the Orange Cap and helped KKR win the title. It was this performance in the IPL that saw a brief return for him to the Indian team.

3. Chris Gayle (West Indies)

Before the 2011 IPL, this West Indies player lost his central contract and, in the auction, didn't find a buyer. And then Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) called him a replacement player, and the rest is history. He thrashed the league, culminating in the 175 off 66 balls in 2013, for the highest individual T20 score. His IPL resurgence also saw him returning to the West Indies squad, where he became the winning captain of the 2016 T20 World Cup.

4. Dinesh Karthik (India)

Dinesh Karthik's career has been marked by multiple comebacks, with each of them largely glamorous and IPL nursed. They achieved their greatest delight, owing to IPL 2022, with RCB, wherein he played the finisher role and forced his way back in to India's T20I squad for the T20 World Cup 2022.

5. Pat Cummins (Australia)

Pat Cummins had been tormented by injuries throughout the early stages of his career, forcing him onto the sidelines for years. In 2020, he was bought by the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for ₹15.5 crore, and his performance in IPL assisted him in getting his mojo back. Later, he became Australia’s Test captain and led them to more than one ICC trophy.

6. Rahul Tewatia (India)

Before he hit five sixes in one over against the Punjab Kings in IPL 2020, Rahul Tewatia was an unknown name; he became an overnight sensation when his consistent performance for Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans surely made him one of the top Indian all-rounders in the IPL.
