Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and selected the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium here on Friday to bowl against Gujarat Titans in 51. In the five matches played at this site, including Friday night’s encounter, no team has been selected to bat first at the Narendra Modi Stadium this season.
Sunrisers sit on the verge of eradication of Hyderabad. A disadvantage at night can become a third team after ending them with the tournament of Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals.
Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins said, “We will have a bowl. You never know what you will get. Sometimes it is better to bat at night. We win our first game at the site of CSK. Hopefully, this trend continues here. If we win all our games, we still have a chance. We do not click as a team.
Titans have certainly stumbled from their way, after winning four games on Trott and topping the table for the opening phase of the tournament, and a wasing defeat against Rajasthan Royals. The domestic side has made a change in its lineup in which Jerald Koetzi is coming in place of Karim Janat.
Shubman Gill, a skipper of Gujarat’s Titans, said, “We used to bowl earlier. Looks like a good wicket. The final game here, we played against Mumbai, and we batted together. The season is great for us. This is the time when we are really watching a good team.
