Season ‘do or die’ for Sunrisers Hyderabad after 4 consecutive defeats:

Delhi: The strong position of Delhi Capitals or Gujarat Titans in the points table of the match played till April 7 in IPL 2025 is not surprising as Sunrisers Hyderabad’s number 10 and that too with the title of the worst net run rate in the season. The biggest reason for this surprise is that before the start of the season of this, the team which everyone called the strongest and play -off in the batting was almost decided, they have not only lost 4 consecutive matches, they piled on low score. All this when not only won in his first match (against Rajasthan Royals) in the season, he also made a record score of 286-6, due to which it felt that he could have made the first score of 300 with some more emphasis.

Top order spread

After that match, this team with the top order of Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head and Ishaan Kishan has not been able to succeed as a unit, destroyed the team’s confidence and the effect is coming on the entire team. With this, if the batsmen are not making the match, then the bowlers have not lived up to the expectations. After the early spell of Cummins and Mohammed Shami, the bowling became very simple.

Performance of last 5 matches

• Look at the team’s performance:* vs LSG – 24 balls were left when lost
  Vs DC – 23 balls left when lost
• Vs KKR – 20 balls left and out
  Vs GT – 20 balls were left when lost 2 wickets against Lucknow, Delhi and Kolkata within 3 overs

Only one win in 5 matches

So the record made only one win in 5 matches, although by this time played the most matches in this season, yet at the bottom. Is this the same team that did not only break many records in 2024, the season, gave a new definition to playing T20. Well, it is not necessary that the process of defeat continues even further because a win can give the team the courage which is in dire need at this time and everyone is asking what has happened to Sunrisers Hyderabad? In such a situation, mistakes/shortcomings are coming out:

Incidentally, Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma and Ishaan Kishan have failed to give a good start together, which did not make the team score so much that the other team came under pressure.

Captain Pat Cummins himself is assuming that the team is struggling inside and no attempt to improve is working. The effect of this is that tension is increasing in the SRH camp due to repeated failure of the team and the top order.

What to expect?

So what to expect from SRH for further? Half of the league is coming closer rapidly and rapid change is needed. His next match can prove to be decisive for playoff expectations. The form of senior players, failure in the right strategy, poor fielding and tension in the camp are all under investigation. The team management is unable to decide on the change that those who are in poor form, change the batsmen and bowling lineups completely or keep restrained now.

Out of form players trouble

Now the lack of options to replace these out of form players is also coming out openly, which is the result of wrong thinking in the auction. For example, Kamindu Mendis is neither a finisher nor a wicket -taking bowler. When brought to Simarjeet, he did not use it right and gave the most special 6th over of the innings, which was a big mistake. GT took advantage of him and did not let him go. All this ended the trust of Cummins on Mendis and Simarjeet and two players got out of the list of options.

Chahar is so bad on the net that he is not trying even in this need. Nitish will have to stop losing his wicket in waste. Abhishek has not been able to play a single good innings so far this season and Ishaan’s season is similar to the forgetting season of Harry Brook.

There is no need to change everything

The team’s chief coach Daniel Vettori is not supporting ‘all changes’ and said that despite the failure of the batting, he will continue to support the aggressive style of his top order. By the way, they believe that these batsmen did not consider the circumstances right and that is why the bowlers of another team dominated them. Take the top order, whatever strategy made, they have not been able to activate it properly. From this perspective, there is a dire need to return before the next match against Punjab Kings on 12 April.

It has been the quality of IPL that it changes quickly, there are opportunities to perform well and personal performance is also seen in those matches. So now batting needs to stand like a group, with confidence.

Therefore, there is a time to think and change in the team.
