Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 60th match of IPL 2025. This article provides details about the SRH Playing 11 vs KKR for match 60 of IPL 2025.
SRH Playing 11 vs KKR- IPL 2025, Match 60:
Openers: Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head
Left-hander Abhishek Sharma will begin the innings for Sunrisers Hyderabad along with Travis Head in the upcoming match against KKR at their home ground in Hyderabad.
Abhishek Sharma, who has shown glimpses of his form, would want to put on a strong display of batting on what is expected to be a batting-friendly wicket at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium.
Your daily dose of cricket!
Like Abhishek, Travis Head would like to deliver a strong performance against KKR in order to regain the form that he showed in the last edition of the league.
The duo has an opportunity to showcase what they are capable of doing on the field of play in the last couple of games that SRH has at its disposal.
Middle-Order Batters and All-Rounders: Ishan Kishan (wk), Abhinav Manohar, Heinrich Klaasen, Sachin Baby, Aniket Verma
Sunrisers Hyderabad, the 2016 IPL champions, would want to identify their batting combination for the next season and would hope for batters like Ishan Kishan and Abhinav Manohar to come good.
SRH, a team that has an explosive batting order, has been languishing at the bottom of the table due to the middle order’s failure to contribute on a consistent basis.
Having said that, the orange army tried to rectify that by bringing in Sachin Baby in place of Nitish Kumar Reddy in the last game, and made a host of changes in the team.
It would be interesting to see if Sunrisers Hyderabad go into the match against KKR with an unchanged lineup and give the batters the freedom to express themselves in the last few games.
Amidst all the chaos and uncertainty over SRH’s batting order, the duo of Heinrich Klaasen and Aniket Verma have savage some pride for the team by helping them post a respectable total.
Bowlers: Pat Cummins (c), Harshal Patel, Eshan Malinga, Jaydev Unadkat, Zeeshan Ansari
Sunrisers Hyderabad would hope for their bowlers to replicate the performance they delivered against DC in their last game.
One of the biggest positives for SRH in the previous match was the form of their captain, Pat Cummins, who decimated DC’s top order in the first six overs of the match.
Other than Cummins, the trio of Jaydev Unadkat, Eshan Malinga, and Harshal Patel also bowled with good control and kept the pressure on the batters.
Zeeshan Ansari, who is the lone specialist spinner in the playing XI for Sunrisers, has been impressive in the middle overs but hasn’t picked up a lot of wickets.
The upcoming game against KKR provides an opportunity for the young leg spinner to display the tricks he has up his sleeve to gain confidence for the next season.
