With the fervor of the Tata IPL 2025 still high, Sunrisers Hyderabad faces one of their most awaited clashes as they take to the field against Rajasthan Royals at their home ground, the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Sunday evening. Having made it to the finals last year, SRH has one of the strongest batting line-ups in the competition and will be eager to make an impact with the first match of their season.
