Follow UsWe're in for an absolute treat in what's expected to be a batting paradise
The IPL fever has officially begun, and it’s time for chaos to unfold. It’s time for boundaries to rain as Sunrisers Hyderabad, the most explosive batting side arguably in IPL history, get their IPL 2025 campaign underway on March 23 (Sunday) against Rajasthan Royals, who will be coached by none other than Rahul Dravid.
It’s the first of two Super Sunday games as the night match will see Chennai Super Kings (CSK) take on Mumbai Indians (MI) at Chepauk. SRH and RR, over the years, have been involved in some absolute cliff-hangers. Will we see another nail-biter or do we have a one-sided clash in store?
Either way, we’re in for an absolute treat, with the likes of Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen, Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag and Shimron Hetmyer set to be in action.

SRH vs RR Match Prediction In IPL 2025
SRH have not only retained their core from IPL 2024, where they finished runners up, but have strengthened their squad further. Meanwhile, RR are significantly weaker than what they were last time around. Plus, there are doubts over the fitness of their skipper Sanju Samson, who is recovering from a finger injury. SRH are playing at home as well, where their batting was unstoppable last season. Expect a victory for SRH.
SRH vs RR Best Batter
In all T20s since the start of 2024, Travis Head has scored 1,442 runs at an average of 41.2 and SR of 182.1. This average increases further to 48 in Hyderabad, with the SR jumping to 192. On this flat pancake, expect Head to dominate the RR bowlers and pick up from where he left last season.
SRH vs RR Best Bowler
Sandeep Sharma was one of the best defensive bowlers last season, maintaining an E.R of 8.2 in a season that saw runs galore. He had an E.R of just 6.7 in the middle-overs. Expect Sandeep to keep it quiet once again.
Uppal Stadium in Hyderabad Pitch Report
Hyderabad was one of the highest scoring venues in IPL 2024, as it saw a run rate of 10.5. 200 was passed a whopping 7 times here in IPL 2024, with SRH even posting 277 in one of their encounters. Expect nothing but a flat pancake tailor-made for the batters.
Hyderabad weather report for Sunday
It’s expected to be scorching hot in Hyderabad on Sunday, with the temperature set to be in the mid 30s in the afternoon. It could very well feel like 40. There’s a less than 10% chance of rain but we could get an unexpected shower, since it’s actually raining today in the city. But expect a full game nevertheless.
