SRH vs LSG 2025: The Sunrisers Hyderabad will be taking on Lucknow Super Giants in the 7th match of the IPL at the high-scoring track of the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
Undoubtedly the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is currently the most batting-friendly track in the world, and 297 remains the highest total scored on this track. With SRH, the exceptional batting unit looking forward to scoring 300 runs, LSG is also comprised totally of staunch power-hitters like Nicholas Pooran, Mitchell Marsh, David Miller, and Rishabh Pant.
SRH began their campaign in IPL 2025 with 286 runs scored in the first game, while the Lucknow Super Giants went on to score 200+ runs as well, though defending would be a very tough nut to crack under these conditions.

SRH vs LSG 2025: Top Picks
1. Nicholas Pooran
The windy slogger is a huge asset to the LSG side, which can be sighted by the huge amount they were retained for. Pooran already showcased his stunning arrival of form in IPL 2025 with the 30-ball 75-run knock in the first game, clearing his intentions of striking at 250.
2. Mitchell Marsh
The Australian all-rounder revived his form in the IPL for LSG as ideal bouncy tracks helped him to make a great start. Marsh’s long hits amazed all in the last game, and he will also relish the track of Hyderabad.
3. Ishan Kishan
Ishan Kishan on this very ground was amazed with his maiden hundred in the IPL, playing in the very first game for the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Kishan’s hundred announced his arrival for a new franchise in the Indian Premier League.
4. Travis Head
The Aussie star showed his calibre in the last IPL and continued his domination in this IPL as well. Travis Head’s innings will again mark a significant rise for the Sunrisers Hyderabad, and he is always a threat to any opposition.
5. Heinrich Klaasen
The Protea star, who is an original star in the middle order, has been widely given fame in the IPL and is also SRH’s costliest bid considering his stunning resolve in the game. Klaasen can take on the LSG spinners as they would be his strong and weak points at the same time.
SRH vs LSG 2025: Key Player Battles
1. Mitchell Marsh vs Mohammed Shami
Marsh’s long hits across the ground stalled against Mohammed Shami’s accuracy and sublime pace. Though Marsh favours pace on the ball, Shami’s pace, added to his sublime accuracy, will be a battle to watch out for.
2. Nicholas Pooran vs. Harshal Patel
Pooran has been in some form of his life, and the tracks that offer so much batting help will be a heaven for a big hitter like him. On the other hand, Harshal Patel’s off-pace deliveries will cause major trouble for the big hitter.
3. Ishan Kishan vs. Ravi Bishnoi
Ishan Kishan and his fearless no. 3 batting spots will mark a revolution in the game, with leggie Bishnoi making an attempt to restrict the flow of runs from the stunning left-handed batter.
4. Travis Head vs. Manimaran Siddharth
Travis Head has shown some form and emerged as a major threat in recent years, though his weakness to spin has been exposed to the world. Siddharth often takes the field as an impact sub-bowler, mostly in the powerplay overs, and has some sheer record under these conditions.
5. Heinrich Klaasen vs. Digvesh Rathi
Klaasen is known for his antics against spin, but alongside spinners, his arch being his strength, his weakness also lies in the variations of spinners like flippers or topspin deliveries, which offer more flight. Hence, Rathi, who seemed a clever choice bowler, would be an ideal choice.
