The previous SRH vs RR fixture of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2024 saw the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) using the slow and low surface of the MA Chidambaram Stadium for a heavy victory over the Rajasthan Royals in the second qualifier. Dhruv Jurel’s unbeaten fifty couldn’t shoulder them over the line.
Sunrisers were decent in the middle overs last season, picking up 37 wickets in 16 innings at an average of 35.38. However, their economy rate of 9.58 was the second worst among all the franchises in the period. This is why the onus will be extreme on Rahul Chahar and Adam Zampa to not only pick wickets but restrict the run flowing.
In contrast, Rajasthan had two of the best Indian spinners, Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal, last season. Their economy of 8.43, the third-best of the season, is proof of that. They also picked up 35 wickets in the time frame.

Hyderabad was smashed for 70 sixes in this period, the second worst of the IPL 2024, while Rajasthan went for just 46 over boundaries. Both sides will be hopeful to start on a winning note in this department.
The 2016 champions had the fourth-best strike rate of 142.79 in the middle overs last season. They, however, lost wickets at a cluster on many occasions and would like to avoid that in the SRH vs RR clash in IPL 2025. The Orange Army nailed 72 sixes in the period, the most by far in the previous season, ahead of RCB’s 58.
Rajasthan was not clinical in the department, with the third-lowest strike rate of 136.54 in the IPL 2024. Their power hitting wasn’t also up to the mark, with just 51 over boundaries coming in the period. The Royals smashed 1106 runs in 15 innings of the last IPL.
