In the second match of IPL 2025 at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) faced Rajasthan Royals (RR). RR's stand-in captain, Riyan Parag, won the toss and elected to bowl, aiming to exploit the flat pitch for a successful chase. SRH's explosive openers, Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head, started aggressively, reaching 24/0 in just 2 overs. Their powerful batting lineup, including Ishan Kishan, Nitish Reddy, and Heinrich Klaasen, set a formidable total. RR's bowlers, notably Jofra Archer and Sandeep Sharma, struggled against SRH's dominance. In response, RR's Indian batting core, with Parag at the helm, faced the challenging task of chasing the steep target. SRH's pace duo, Pat Cummins and Mohammed Shami, effectively contained RR's batsmen, leading SRH to a comprehensive victory. (PC: The Economic Times)
