Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their final game of the 2025 edition of the IPL. It has been a tough season for the last year's runners-up but the last two games were a reminder of what SRH can do when on song, especially when Nitish Kumar Reddy and Ishan Kishan did what they can but there would be a little regret and frustration as to why they couldn't string together performances like these, a little earlier in the season.
Similarly, it has been a disappointing season for the defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), who suffered because of being overstaffed and underpowered at the same time with their batting and key players not being in form. KKR might give the young mystery spinner from Madhya Pradesh, Shivam Shukla, a look in against the big three at the top for SRH while bringing back Quinton de Kock to pair him with Rahmanullah Gurbaz at the top.
Sunrisers, on the other hand, are unlikely to make a change and for the Knight Riders, it is highly unlikely that Ajinkya Rahane will be retained as captain. But given they still have Andre Russell and Sunil Narine going great guns, it will be a huge positive if they can go out on a high as at least for a couple of more years, the franchise are likely to revolved around them.
