The Sunrisers, once again nearly breached the 300-run mark and will be confident of doing it against a depleted LSG bowling attack.

The newest signing of SRH, Ishan Kishan set the stage on fire as the pocket dynamo blasted the first century of the IPL 2025 season and remained unbeaten as his knock was crucial in securing a win for the SRH side.

(Ishan Kishan stats Vs RR)

His numbers were outstanding against Rajasthan, but the batter suffered a knee injury while fielding in the same match and his participation is still unsure. The tournament has just started and if Kishan hasn't fully recovered, SRH might not take a chance on him.

Who can replace Ishan Kishan?

SRH do have a like-to-like replacement in the form of Atharva Taide. The former PBKS star is a more than a handy batter and could easily slot in at number 3 for the Hyderabad side.

(Taide stats in IPL)

In case Kishan misses out, Taide could be a solid option to include as the batter has emough experience of playing in the league.

Unadkat to replace Shami?

Mohammed Shami had an off day with the ball as he was taken to the cleaners by RR batters. He also looked rusty with a slight niggle hampering him. If SRH do plan to replace him, Jaydev Unadkat is the option they have. The left-arm seamer has wealth of experience playing in the IPL and can provide the left-arm angle which might cause trouble to the left-handed batters of LSG.

(However, in all likelihood, SRH won't drop Shami as he has the ability to take wickets up front with the ball). In that case, they might only make one change with Kishan being rested and Taide coming in.

The rest of the team should remain the same, barring any injury or tactical concerns.

SRH Probable XI Vs LSG

Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Atharva Taide, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Aniket Verma, Abhinav Manohar, Pat Cummins (c), Simarjeet Singh, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Shami
