SRH vs KKR Dream11 Prediction [Source: @iplt20.com]
The league stage of IPL 2025 is winding down but the pride and personal milestones are still up for grabs as Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Match 68 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Sunday, May 25. The high-octane clash is set to kick off at 7:30 PM IST.
Both teams are out of the playoff race but they will be eager to sign off with a win. SRH, with 5 wins and 1 no-result in 13 games, can still leapfrog KKR and LSG with a victory. Meanwhile, KKR’s title defence never really took off and they will be playing for redemption.
For fantasy players, there is still plenty to play for. Let’s take a look at the top three captain and vice-captain picks for the SRH vs KKR IPL 2025 Match 68.
3. Sunil Narine
Why Will Sunil Narine Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?
Whether it is breakthroughs or explosive cameos with the bat, Sunil Narine has been one of the few bright spots in KKR’s forgettable season. In 11 matches, he has bagged 10 wickets at an economy of 7.54, keeping things tight in the middle overs. With the bat, he has chipped in with 215 runs at a phenomenal strike rate of 167.96.
His ability to contribute in both departments makes him a fantasy goldmine. Especially on the slower surface in Delhi, Narine’s variations could be a handful. If he fires with the bat too, you are looking at a massive haul of Dream11 points.
2. Ajinkya Rahane
Why Will Ajinkya Rahane Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?
KKR’s batting has seen many collapses but Ajinkya Rahane has often stood tall. He is been their most consistent performer with the bat, amassing 375 runs in 11 innings at an average of 37.50 and a strike rate of 146.48. With three fifties to his name, Rahane has quietly led KKR’s charge in the top order.
Against an SRH bowling attack that’s struggled in patches, Rahane could anchor the innings once again. His experience and current form make him a strong captaincy or vice-captaincy option for your fantasy teams.
1. Abhishek Sharma
Why Will Abhishek Sharma Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?
Abhishek Sharma has been the heartbeat of SRH’s batting this season. In 12 innings, he has smashed 407 runs at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 192.89, the best among top-order batters this season. His standout knock was a blazing 141 vs PBKS and he has also contributed with 42 fours and 26 sixes so far, showcasing his clean hitting.
As an opener, he gets the full quota of overs to make an impact. Given Delhi’s smaller boundaries and his current form, Abhishek is the ultimate high-risk, high-reward option and an ideal captain or vice-captain pick for those aiming to top their fantasy contests.
