In match number 55 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are hosting the Delhi Capitals (DC) on Monday, May 5 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. However, both teams are coming off a defeat in their respective previous matches, they are fighting for a spot in the top four as the battle gets intense with each passing day.
As the two skippers, Pat Cummins and Axar Patel walked out for the toss, it was the SRH captain who returned victorious, thus inviting the visitors to bat first. “We'll bowl. We've talked about a few things, haven't had a complete game yet. Want to do the basics well,” the Aussie skipper said.
