Rajat Patidar gave a major setback to the fans of Royal Challengers Bangalore as he did not make the toss ahead of the IPL 2025 game against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Friday. Instead, Jitesh Sharma came for the toss. Patidar is playing as an impact player. “This is my first captaining RCB. I captained PBK against SRH last year. We are thinking to bowl first, want to take most of the surface with moisture. We are looking forward to finish the league on top of the table and are entering the playoffs. We have a good environment and culture.
SRH made three changes with Travis Head, Abhinav Manohar and Jaydev Unadkat, which returned to play.
Teams: Sunrisers Hyderabad: Pat Cummins (C), Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishaan Kishan (WK), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klesen, Annicon Verma, Abhinav Manohar, Harshal Patel, Jayav Undak, Ashan Malinj.
