IPL 2025: 3 Reasons why SRH can win the title

Sunrisers Hyderabad maintained a solid core before the mega auctions, keeping the skipper Pat Cummins, Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen and Nitish Kumar Reddy. They did an even better job at the auctions and filled up every tick box, making their team one of the most all-round teams of the tournament.

Hyderabad had done a great job in the previous season as well where they had finished the league stage at number two and then went on to the finals as well. They were not able to cross the finish line, however had an immaculate performance which makes them a real threat this time around too. 

Let us take a look at three reasons why Sunrisers Hyderabad can emerge victorious this season.

1. Explosive batting

Hyderabad simply blew their opponents off with the bat in the previous season where they kept on piling runs and breaking records in every match. They have the most destructive openers in Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head, who snatch the game away from their opponents right in the powerplay.

Adding to that, they have an absolute beast in Heinrich Klaasen who comes in the middle order and makes the art of hitting sixes look extremely easy. Nitish Kumar Reddy has also matured significantly as a player in the last year, which was pretty evident in the last BGT for India.

Adding to this, SRH bought in some more explosive batting options in Ishan Kishan, whom they can either use up at the top or in the middle order as well. They also have some all-rounders who can contribute well down the order.

2. All-round bowling line-up

If Hyderabad scored too many runs in the last season, then they kept being smacked for runs too and showing the signs of great teams, they quickly made a note of it and did work on it in the recent mega auctions. SRH probably has the most complete bowling line-up among all teams in this edition of the Indian Premier League as well.

The pace department is led by the skipper Pat Cummins and has great weapons in the likes of Mohammad Shami, Harshal Patel, Jaydev Unadkat and Eshan Malinga. These are all different types of bowlers who have all got different specialities, providing variation to the attack.

The Sunrisers did not manage quality when it came to spin as well. They have got two gem of spinners in Rahul Chahar and Adam Zampa, preparing the team for turning tracks as well.

3. Proven leadership

Pat Cummins has simply surprised everyone ever since he took over the captaincy reigns of the Australian cricket team. He has won them the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 as well as the World Test Championship in 2023.

He has shown and proven his leadership time and time again wherever he assumed the leadership roles. He did a great job last year with the Sunrisers Hyderabad as well, not just getting the team to qualifiers but to the finals as well. This time he would be using the experience of the last season and getting even better results, which very well might lead the team to win the title.
