In the 41st match of IPL 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on Mumbai Indians (MI) at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. These teams are meeting again, having faced each other last time at Wankhede Stadium, where MI emerged victorious by 4 wickets. Let’s look at SRH’s probable XI for this match.
Rahul Chahar Out?
It seems like Rahul Chahar is not in SRH’s plans because in the last game against Mumbai Indians at Wankhede Stadium, despite having more experience, Rahul Chahar sat on the sidelines. Mohammed Shami was brought in to bowl just 1 over. Chahar has only played one match, which was the last one, and bowled only one over. It seems the team is placing more trust in another spinner, Zeeshan Ansari.
Eshan Malinga to Feature Again
It seems like Sri Lanka’s new bowler Eshan Malinga is likely to feature again in the match against Mumbai Indians. He has shown promising results with the team in the last two matches, taking four wickets. He has performed well on the Hyderabad wicket, so the team is likely to place trust in him.
Who will come as an impact sub?
If Sunrisers Hyderabad bat first, then Eshan Malinga is likely to be on the impact player list. However, if they bowl first, then Abhinav Manohar is likely to come in as the impact player for Hyderabad.
