Sunrisers Hyderabad 0/0 in 0.0 overs | SRH vs KKR Live Score, IPL 2025: Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins Toss, Bat vs Kolkata Knight Riders
SRH came this season with high expectations, especially after his explosive batting performance, he was inspired for a runner-up Finnish in 2024. However, in 2025, he got out of his firepower. Batting failed to repeat last year’s heroes, and the bowling unit never really hit its strid. As a result, “Sun” barely increased on its campaign.
Nevertheless, Hyderabad made a slight pace in this struggle, with 42 runs in Lucknow to be Bangalore-a victory that detailed the top-two hopes of RCB. Ishaan Kishan and Ishaan Malinga acted in that win, and with a more recent match practice than KKR with SRH – which was last played against CSK on 7 May – this could make a difference.
Arun Jaitley Pitch is expected to have a batting heaven, which suits SRH’s power-hitlers like Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Kishan, Henrik Klassen and Anichet Verma. If they set fire, fans may see a run-fest that leaves the shadow chasing KKR.
Meanwhile, KKR has tolerated a season to forget. After winning his third title in 2024, he entered as a defending champion in 2025, but never remained to that billing. A poor house record, inconsistent performance, and an unstable batting order stricken his campaign. The dispute around his home pitch curator Sujan Mukherjee also did not help.
His batting lacked harmony-the frequent change on the handle, a misfirming middle order, and a delicate death strategy made it difficult for the team to create speed. The bowling has been average by average, which gives very little support to bend things.
Nevertheless, KKR can take solitude from his earlier win in Delhi and see to end his forgotable campaign with the final Utkarsh. A win here will not change the table, but it can help restore some pride and give them something to build for IPL 2026.
