I think we got to get them out early and look to chase the target. It depends on the team combination, that's why we want to bowl first. We have the batting to chase it down. The only change is Avesh comes back, Shahbaz misses out. We are gonna chase whatever they score, doesn't matter.”

Meanwhile, SRH skipper Cummins said, “It doesn't change the way our boys go about it, we always try to be positive. It's great fun. You know what you are signing up for coming into this tournament. Even going for 10 or 11 runs in an over, that can be match winning on somedays. We want to win games as a team and do well as a bowling unit. Hopefully we score big. We are playing with the same team like the other day..”

IPL 2025, SRH vs LSG Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants: Against RR, Kishan hammered an unbeaten knock of 106 runs off 47 balls at a strike rate of 225.53, packed with 11 fours and six sixes. Kishan’s knock became the 12th fastest hundred in IPL history, as he reached the landmark in 45 balls. It also became SRH’s third-fastest ton in history.

Ahead of IPL 2025, he was going through a bad patch of form, which just didn't seem to end. In IPL 2024, he could only manage 320 runs in 14 matches and it was a season to forget for the wicketkeeper-batter. Around this time last year, Kishan also lost his spot in the central contract list, after not appearing at the Ranji Trophy.

To make his comeback, he didn't train at MI's ground in Ghansoli. Instead, he opened a cricket academy in Patna and began to train there!

IPL 2025, SRH vs LSG Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants: Pooran is here on the field, and speaks to the broadcasters.

“It was a tough game for us (against DC), but as players we need to look at the positives. As a batting group we lost wickets at a crucial position in the second half of the innings. As a bowling group we couldn't execute our skills. We knew the spinners had to bowl into the pitch. It was just the first game, so hope we can learn from our mistakes and get better tonight. We have a new captain (Rishabh Pant) and there a few new faces (in the team) as well. We have 14 games in the tournament, it's a long tournament. Some games will go in our favour, some wouldn't. We need to stick together (as a team) and make things work. We need to stay as composed as possible and stick to our plans, need to take our catches,” he said.

IPL 2025, SRH vs LSG Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants: LSG lack squad depth and flexibility. Their players are not versatile, so we could see them use the same playing XI tonight, which fell victim to Ashutosh Sharma. Pant was in poor form and now there are calls for him to open the innings. If he doesn't succeed as an opener, things could get worse for him.

If the chasing team is in good form, and if it's SRH, we can easily expect them to put up a good fight.
