Desperate sunrisers hyderabad

Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium: The Indian Premier League 2025 caravan returns to Hyderabad for a high-stakes clash between a struggling Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and a resurgent Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium here on Wednesday. For the hosts, this fixture is more than just another game — it’s a crucial shot at revival in what has been a disappointing campaign so far.

With only two wins in seven outings, Pat Cummins’ side is under immense pressure to turn things around. Their campaign has been riddled with inconsistency, especially in the batting department which, despite boasting of explosive names, has flattered to deceive. The bowling unit too has lacked bite, and the combination of both has left SRH languishing in the bottom half of the table.

SRH’s vulnerabilities on slow, turning tracks have been thoroughly exposed this season. Their recent four-wicket defeat to Mumbai Indians in Mumbai, on a surface that offered grip and turn, highlighted their inability to adapt. Even home advantage hasn’t worked in their favour — the team has lost two out of three matches at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
