Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will be up against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 61st match of IPL 2025. This article provides details about the SRH Playing 11 vs LSG for match 61 of IPL 2025.
SRH Playing 11 vs LSG- IPL 2025, Match 61:
Openers: Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head
The hard-hitting pair of Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head will open the innings for Sunrisers Hyderabad in their twelfth match of the season against LSG on Monday.
Both Abhishek and Travis haven't been in the best of form in the ongoing season and will look to get their mojo back after the break that the league witnessed.
If we talk about individual performances, both players have had similar outings, which has been a cause of concern for the former champions.
Having said that, Abhishek has shown glimpses of form in the last few games and would like to build on that to get a big score when he goes up against LSG.
Head, on the other hand, would also have an eye on the WTC final and would like to score some runs to get his confidence back before the big game against South Africa.
Middle-Order Batters and All-Rounders: Ishan Kishan (wk), Abhinav Manohar, Heinrich Klaasen, Sachin Baby, Aniket Verma
Sunrisers Hyderabad would hope for wicketkeeper batter Ishan Kishan to come good in the remaining games, which will strengthen his case of getting retained before next year's IPL auction.
The Orange Army would be disappointed, especially by the way its middle order has performed in the 18th edition of the league, which has led to them making a lot of changes.
One of those changes is the inclusion of Abhinav Manohar, who has made full use of the few opportunities he has had in the tournament as an impact substitute.
It would be interesting to see if SRH goes into the match against LSG with an unchanged lineup and gives the batters the freedom to express themselves.
Amidst all the chaos, SRH should be appreciated for backing young players like Aniket Verma, who has the potential to serve the team for at least the next couple of years.
Bowlers: Pat Cummins (c), Harshal Patel, Eshan Malinga, Jaydev Unadkat, Zeeshan Ansari
There were concerns about SRH's captain Pat Cummins' availability after the resumption of the league, but the fast bowler is expected to join the team for the game in Lucknow.
Cummins' participation in the upcoming game is important for SRH as he is one of the few in-form bowlers that the team has at their disposal.
Other than Cummins, Harshal Patel also appeared to have picked up form and would like to put on a strong performance and help the team register a win over LSG.
Zeeshan Ansari, the lone spinner in the playing XI, will once again be entrusted upon to take the responsibility of picking wickets in the middle overs.
