Sunrisers got their Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL) campaign off to a rollicking start as they defeated Rajasthan Royals by 44 runs on a batting paradise at home last week. The Orange Army amassed the second-highest team total in IPL history (286/6) on the back of Ishan Kishan's blazing century. Heinrich Klaasen, Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Nitish Kumar Reddy also made crucial contributions to pummel the Royals' bowling attack.
Meanwhile, LSG would be gutted after their defeat to Delhi Capitals in their opening fixture. Blistering half-centuries from Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran gave the Super Giants a stunning platform. However, they lost wickets through the middle phase and at the death, finishing on 209/8.
Lucknow's bowlers wreaked havoc in the initial phase of Delhi's innings, accounting for five wickets inside the first seven overs. However, Tristan Stubbs and Vipraj Nigam kept the Axar Patel-led side's hopes alive with some exemplary hitting. In the end, it was Ashutosh Sharma's awe-inspiring knock of 66 not out off 31 balls that took Delhi to a one-wicket victory with three balls to spare.

Pitch report
The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium has been a happy hunting ground for batters, especially since last season. Out of the seven games scheduled to be hosted in Hyderabad last season, one was washed out due to rain. In the 12 innings played at the venue, there were seven scores of 200 or above. From the first match of this season, it is evident that the surface hasn't changed. Winning the toss and batting first should be a good ploy, as chasing totals of over 250 will not be easy.
