SRH vs MI: Match Preview
In their respective opening encounters, both teams experienced defeats; Sunrisers narrowly lost to the Kolkata Knight Riders by four runs, while the Mumbai Indians fell short against the Gujarat Titans by six runs.
Despite their setback, Sunrisers displayed promise after finishing at the bottom of the table last season. However, they now confront a formidable challenge against the Mumbai Indians, boasting a lineup featuring prominent players such as Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, and Jasprit Bumrah. Despite Mumbai’s recent defeat, their robust squad suggests they could stage a strong resurgence in Hyderabad.
The pitch at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is renowned for providing assistance to both batsmen and bowlers. Initially, bowlers can anticipate seam and swing movement, but as the game progresses, the pitch tends to favor batsmen, with spinners also finding some purchase. However, given it’s the season opener, spinners may not initially find as much support.

Sunrisers Hyderabad
Sunrisers Hyderabad is facing a setback as leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga remains unavailable due to chronic pain in his left heel, consulting doctors overseas. The dilemma for Sunrisers lies in whether to persist with Marco Jansen, despite his costly performance against KKR, as their overseas bowling option. In terms of impact player strategy, SRH replaced fast bowler T Natarajan after their game at Eden Gardens, bringing in opener Abhishek Sharma for the chase.
Possible XII:
- Mayank Agarwal
- Abhishek Sharma
- Rahul Tripathi
- Aiden Markram
- Heinrich Klaasen
- Abdul Samad
- Shahbaz Ahmed
- Marco Jansen/Fazalhaq Farooqi
- Pat Cummins
- Bhuvneshwar Kumar
- Mayank Markande
- T Natarajan
Mumbai Indians
Suryakumar Yadav remains sidelined as he recuperates from ankle surgery at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru, making him unlikely to feature in Mumbai’s first home game on April 1. Mumbai Indians opted for only three overseas players in their XI while bowling first against the Titans, substituting fast bowler Luke Wood with middle-order batter Dewald Brevis for the chase.
Possible XII:
- Ishan Kishan
- Rohit Sharma
- Naman Dhir
- Dewald Brevis
- Tilak Varma
- Hardik Pandya
- Tim David
- Shams Mulani
- Gerald Coetzee
- Piyush Chala
- Jasprit Bumrah
