Mumbai Indians will be eyeing a fourth consecutive win as they face an out-of-form Sunrisers Hyderabad. After starting IPL 2025 on a poor note, Hardik Pandya and co. have bounced back in stellar fashion, taking down CSK, SRH and DC to add 6 points to their name. On Wednesday, they will once again lock horns with SRH, this time in Hyderabad.

Ton loading for Rohit Sharma?
Rohit did not have the greatest of the starts in MI’s ongoing IPL 2025 campaign. After faltering in the first six matches, the Hitman finally rediscovered his form in MI’s previous game against CSK. Sharma stayed unbeaten on 76 runs at the Wankhede, helping his team chase down the target with ease.
The surface at Hyderabad, which is largely flat and favours batters, perhaps is the best stage for Rohit to slam a century. He will be looking to carry on the momentum from the game and CSK and punish the SRH bowlers.
No Karn Sharma yet
Karn Sharma is likely to continue warming the bench in this game as well. He missed the tie against CSK as he was seen with stitches to his thumb. Meanwhile, Jacks and Santner will continue to spearhead the spin unit.
