After a grand opening of the Indian Premier League 2025, we head into the second day of the league. We will have a double header in the second day. The first match of the day will be between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royas.

The match will start at 3:30 pm local time. 

Team News & Probable XI

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) welcome Abhinav Manohar to their power-packed batting lineup. Manohar was the second-highest run-scorer in last year's Maharaja T20 Trophy, Karnataka’s premier T20 league, where he smashed 52 sixes—22 more than the next-best batter. For their fourth overseas spot, SRH has options in Adam Zampa, Kamindu Mendis, Wiaan Mulder, and Eshan Malinga. If they prioritize batting depth, Mendis could get the nod, while Zampa might come in if they prefer an additional frontline spinner alongside Rahul Chahar.

SRH Probable XI:

1. Travis Head, 2. Abhishek Sharma, 3. Ishan Kishan (wk), 4. Nitish Kumar Reddy, 5. Heinrich Klaasen, 6. Aniket Verma, 7. Abhinav Manohar, 8. Pat Cummins (capt), 9. Harshal Patel, 10. Rahul Chahar, 11. Mohammed Shami, 12. Adam Zampa
