As Sunrisers Hyderabad take on Rajasthan Royals in the second match of IPL 2025 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, fans can expect a high-octane contest. Here are some key players to watch out for in this match:
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)
Heinrich Klaasen (WK-Batter)
Known for his explosive hitting and ability to tackle both spin and pace, Klaasen will be crucial in the middle overs and at the death.
Travis Head (Batter)
An aggressive top-order batter, Head can give SRH the ideal start in powerplay overs and set the tone for a high-scoring total.
Pat Cummins (Captain and Bowler)
Leading the side, Cummins will not only shoulder leadership duties but also play a pivotal role with the ball in containing RR’s batting firepower.
Harshal Patel (Bowler)
With his variations and death-over skills, Harshal remains one of the most reliable T20 pacers in Indian cricket.
Rajasthan Royals (RR)
Sanju Samson (WK-Batter)
A consistent performer in the IPL, Samson’s strokeplay and leadership can provide the stability and firepower RR needs in the middle order.
Yashasvi Jaiswal (Batter)
The young opener has been in sublime form and will be key in exploiting the batting-friendly conditions early in the innings.
Jofra Archer (Bowler)
With his express pace and sharp bounce, Archer can pose a serious threat to SRH’s top order and is vital in death overs.
Wanindu Hasaranga (Bowling Allrounder)
His leg-spin and ability to break partnerships in the middle overs make him a key weapon for RR on a pitch that might offer slight grip later in the match.
With the pitch expected to be a batting paradise, this match could turn into a run-fest. But with match-winners on both sides, a few key moments could swing the momentum either way.
