Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on Rajasthan Royals in the 2nd match of the 2025 IPL at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad on Sunday, Mar. 23. While SRH won the tournament in 2016 and made it to the finals last year, RR are winners of the IPL's inaugural season.
SRH smashed several batting records last year, posting three of the four highest team totals last year. Pat Cummins, who proved his mettle as captain last year, will be eager to replicate the dominance this time around. Ahead of the mega auctions, Hyderabad retained its core players like Heinrich Klaasen for Rs 23 crore, Pat Cummins for Rs 18 crore, Abhishek Sharma for Rs 14 crore and Travis Head for Rs 14 crore.
For Rajasthan Royals, Sanju Samson continues to be the captain for the season. However, in the first three matches, Riyan Prayag will lead them as Samson is unfit. RR retained both Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson for Rs 18 crore, while notable additions to the squad include pacers Jofra Archer for Rs 12.5 crore and Tushar Deshpande for Rs 6.50 crore.
