Hyderabad vs Lucknow on March 27

 

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the seventh match of the Indian Premier League 2025. This match will be played at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. 74 matches will be played across 13 cities over the next two months as the IPL fever kicks off. Qualifier 1 and the Eliminator will be played in Hyderabad on May 20 and 21, respectively. Qualifier 2, on May 23, and the final, on May 25, will be in Kolkata. Sunrisers Hyderabad were the record breakers in the previous edition as they went past the 270-run mark quite a few times. They lost in the Final to Kolkata Knight Riders and ended up as the runners-up. They have further strengthened their batting with the addition of Ishan Kishan. Pat Cummins will lead the side, and they once again have a destructive batting order. They scored 286 in the opeening match against RR and started the season with a win. On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants will be led by Rishabh Pant. They had seven wins and seven losses in the previous edition and finished seventh in the table. They have an explosive battng lineup and will be loooking to put up a good performance. They lost the previous match against Delhi Capitals by one wicket.

Best economical pick – Pacer Harshal Patel used his experience and slower balls to great effect in the previous match. Having bowled extensively at a batting-friendly venue like the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium during his days at Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Harshal knows how to defend when batters go on the attack. Last year's IPL Purple Cap winner will look to bowl another key spell for Hyderabad through the middle overs on Thursday. 

Top captains & vice captains – Explosive batter Travis Head looked in sublime touch in the first game. He smashed 67 off just 31 balls, hitting nine fours and three sixes. He will hold the key for Sunrisers at the top of the order. If he settles at the crease, Lucknow's bowlers will be in for a tough time. Nicholas Pooran smashed 499 runs in the previous season at a strike rate of 178. He smashed 75 runs against DC in the opening match will be a good captaincy pick for this match.

Smart pick – Abhishek Sharma will bat at the top of the order and smashed 484 runs in 16 matches at a strike rate of 204 last season. He will be a top pick.

Cautious Pick – Ayush Badoni is a decent middle-order batsman, but whether you should avoid him depends on a few factors : He usually bats lower down the order (No. 5 or 6), which means he might not get enough balls to face unless there’s a collapse. If you're playing a grand league, you can take a risk on him as a differential pick. But for small leagues, it's safer to avoid him unless LSG’s top order is in shaky form. Instead, you can go for a more reliable top-order batter or an all-rounder.

My XI – Travis Head (Captain), Nicholas Pooran (Vice-Captain), Abhishek Sharma, Harshal Patel, Rishabh Pant, Ishan Kishan, Heinrich Klassen, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, Shardul Thakur
