Again, COVID-19 to threaten the Indian Premier League (IPL)? Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) is set to face Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) tomorrow at the Ekana Cricket Ground. Prior to the match, SRH head coach Daniel Vettori shared some unexpected information about a star player of their squad. 

Australia and Sunrisers Hyderabad star opener Travis Head has contracted COVID-19. For that reason, the fearless batter is set to miss the upcoming encounter. Though Vettori provided the information about the Aussie batter's present status, he did not say how and where the Australian batter contracted the infection.

Vettori further stated that due to COVID-19, his arrival in India has not been accurate in time. After the BCCI decided to put IPL 2025 on hold due to military tensions between India and Pakistan, SRH captain Pat Cummins and Head decided to leave India and go back to Australia, their home soil. Vettori informed the pre-match press conference that Head will arrive in India on Monday morning and will be assessed further by the team's medical staff.

Travis Head likely to miss the clash against LSG as he’s set to arrive in India tomorrow after recently contracting COVID-19. 🤕#IPL2025 #TravisHead #LSGvSRH pic.twitter.com/z53uXtlR1n

— Sportskeeda (@Sportskeeda) May 18, 2025

Head will join the IPL team 

"Travis is coming in tomorrow morning; he was delayed. He actually had COVID, so he couldn’t travel, so he’ll get in tomorrow morning, and we’ll assess how he is after that", SRH head coach said..

As Australia will face South Africa in the World Test Championship Final (WTC final) on June 11 and as Cricket Australia already announced the squad for the clash, it was not clear about Pat and Travis' availability for the remaining IPL 2025 campaign of SRH. Later, it was known that both star players will be available for the remaining fixtures. 

Sunrisers Hyderabad IPL 2025 remaining fixtures:

- SRH vs. Lucknow Super Giants, May 19

- Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs. SRH, May 23

- SRH vs. Kolkata Knight Riders, May 25

Nicolas Pooran, SRH vs LSG: 'Itne Chakke Marenge...' It was a 'Dabangg' style dialogue from Nicholas Pooran after thrashing star-studded Sunrisers Hyderabad. A video released by Lucknow Super Giants, just after the match, where we can see Pooran dressed up like a cop and throwing a dialogue adopted from Salman Khan's famous movie 'Dabangg.'

Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, NK Reddy, and Heinrich Klaasen are the most power-loaded batting line-up of the ongoing IPL 2025, at least on pen and paper. Last night, SRH managed to score only 190 for 9 wickets, just to be defeated by LSG with the help of West Indian swashbuckling batter Nicolas Pooran, who scored a match-winning 70 runs off 26 balls with a strike rate a little over 269. 

Dabangg Pooran on show. 😂🔥pic.twitter.com/i30srRAHBQ

— Mufaddal Vohra (@mufaddal_vohra) March 27, 2025

In the video, shared on the social media platform by LSG, we can hear Pooran delivering a dialogue, "Hum tumhe itne chakke marenge ki confuse ho jaaoge..." (I'll hit so many sixes that you'll be confused). This was not a mere dialogue from Pooran; that's the fact. Because, in his 70-run innings, he scored 60 runs by dealing with boundaries and over-boundaries; six 4s and six 6s were enough for the middle-order batter to decorate his thunderous innings. 

LSG chased down the 191 target with 23 balls and 5 wickets to spare. Lucknow Super Giants opener Mitchell Marsh (52 runs against 31 balls) spent no time to offer his team a flying start. But it was Pooran who ensured the victory for LSG after losing Aiden Markram when the team score was only 4. From there, it was the Marsh and Pooran duo all over the place. Experienced bowlers from the opposition side, like Mohammed Shami, Pat Cummins, and Adam Zampa, had no option but to concede runs.

While Lucknow Super Giants claimed a dominant win against the dangerous hosts SunRisers Hyderabad in the seventh match of the IPL 2025, LSG pacer Shardul Thakur had the key role, as the right-arm pacer produced his best bowling figures in his IPL career. 

From being unsold to becoming an important pacer in the injury-loaded LSG pace bowling line-up, Shardul Thakur is now playing a very important role for his new IPL team, LSG. After performing strongly in their IPL 2025 opener against Delhi Capitals, Shardul again produced a powerful bowling performance in their second game against the dangerous hosts SRH.

While SRH scored 286/6 at home in their first IPL 2025 match (vs Rajasthan Royals), which was the second-highest IPL total, LSG restricted SRH to 190/9 in 20 overs. LSG pacer Shardul had the bowling figures of 4-0-34-4. In his second over of his first spell of the match, Shardul took two consecutive wickets of SRH opener Abhishek Sharma (6) and last match centurion Ishan Kishan (0). After Shardul provided a strong start, the other LSG bowlers brought strong support, as the home batters were never out of early pressure. Later, in the slog overs, Shardul dismissed Abhinav Manohar (2) and Mohammed Shami (1) cheaply to record the second fifer in his IPL career.

Why not bowlers go hard at them? Shardul Thakur

As LSG achieved success in the match by earning two points, Shardul won the Player of the Match award for his outstanding bowling performance, as the right-arm pacer now holds the Purple Cap. During the presentation ceremony, he was asked, "Shardul, when you are specially planning and bowling against a team like this, SRH, with so many destructive batters, what's the game plan?"

Shardul replied, "I think they are coming hard at bowlers, and why not bowlers go hard at them? So, the talk was around what the plan should be, and ok we collectively said, 'Let's go hard at them, let's take our chances.' If we get early wickets, then we are in the game because we have been scoring heavily on this ground on flat pitches, and probably we had to take our chances."

LSG won by five wickets with 23 balls remaining

LSG comfortably chased the 191-run target in 16.1 overs after losing five wickets, where Nicholas Pooran (70 off 26 balls; six fours and six sixes) and the opener Mitchell Marsh (52 off 31 balls; seven fours and two sixes) had powerful batting performances. 

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy lost his temper after getting dismissed by Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) during an IPL match. In anger, he threw his helmet on his way back to the dugout, venting his frustration.

Nitish Reddy was playing a key role for SRH, providing solidity in the middle order. He had established momentum in his innings and was aiming to step up the pace before getting removed at a critical moment. His dismissal as a blow for SRH could have been a reason for his emotional outburst.

The young cricketer's tantrum soon became a social media hit, with the public and analysts expressing divergent opinions. Some praised his passion for the game, but others condemned him for losing his temper.

Incidents like these highlight the extreme pressure on the players during big games. It is a natural feeling to be frustrated, but calmness is essential in professional cricket. Nitish Kumar Reddy has shown promise as an IPL star of the future despite the incident, and fans will be eagerly anticipating his game in upcoming matches.

Indian pacer Shardul Thakur, who was unsold in the mega auctions for the IPL 2025, is firing with the ball as a replacement-joinee for the Lucknow Super Giants in the early IPL 2025. His bowling played a huge role for LSG, restricting the dangerous batting line-up of SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) to 190/9 (20 overs) in the seventh match of the IPL 2025. 

Shardul Thakur is currently in dream form with the ball and bat. While LSG faced Delhi Capitals in their IPL 2025 opener, Thakur provided a good start for the LSG with two wickets in the first over while DC were chasing a 200+ target. Thakur delivered two overs in that game, and LSG suffered a shocking one-wicket defeat in that match. 

Shardul Thakur took the wickets of Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan on back-to-back deliveries

In the seventh match of the IPL 2025, Shardul Thakur provided a strong start for LSG as the first batting team, the hosts SRH, lost two wickets in the powerplay. After conceding six runs in the first over of the innings, Thakur started his second over with back-to-back wickets in two successive deliveries. He dismissed Abhishek Sharma (6) and last match centurion Ishan Kishan (0) and delivered a good hat-trick ball. 

Thakur's next two overs in the SRH innings were the 17th and 19th overs, where the right-arm pacer took the wickets of Abhinav Manohar (2) and Mohammed Shami (1). Thakur completed with the bowling figures of 4-0-34-4.

Check the key stats of Shardul Thakur in the 7th match of the IPL 2025

• Thakur completed his 100 IPL wickets in 97 matches. He recorded the 16th fastest 100 IPL wickets. 
• Thakur recorded his second IPL four-fer. 
• Thakur ended with the bowling figures of 4-0-34-4 were his best IPL bowling figures. His previous best was 4-0-36-4 for Delhi Capitals against Punjab Kings in 2022. 
• Thakur recorded the fifth-best bowling figures by an LSG bowler. 

The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) has unearthed yet another gem in 23-year-old cricketer Prince Yadav from Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. Yadav made headlines in IPL 2025 when he ran out Travis Head in LSG's fixtures against Sunrisers Hyderabad (LSG).

At the domestic level, he plays for Uttar Pradesh. His first-class debut came in 2022 against Karnataka. He later moved to Delhi, making his List A debut against Bengal in December 2024, followed by a T20 debut against Uttar Pradesh in November 2024. His primary skill sets are being a fast medium right-arm bowler while also being a right-hand batter.

This was a well-deserved reward after years of hard work Yadav can now boast of having a place in LSG. Winning this battle for his team was a significant achievement, as Travis Head is one of the fiercest T20 hitters and single-handedly destroys games. Nothing will be more satisfying for an LSG fan than remembering that at the time Yadav took his wicket, Head was bludgeoning the ball for 47 runs off 28 balls. This defeat for Head was crucial and showed Yadav could deliver in the big moments.

His performance will most likely get him more matches in IPL 2025.

Prince Yadav's ascent from domestic cricket to the IPL is a reflection of his diligence and skill. LSG fans will be waiting to see if he can repeat a similar impact in the tournament. With a promising future ahead, Prince Yadav is definitely a player to watch out for in IPL 2025.

The SunRisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants (SRH vs LSG) match is ready for the seventh game of the IPL 2025, while Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium (Hyderabad) will host it on Thursday evening (March 27). Here, we are going through the Dream11 top captains and vice-captains for the fixture. 

IPL 2025, Match 7: SRH vs LSG Probable XIs

SunRisers Hyderabad Predicted Playing 11: Travis Head/Adam Zampa (Impact Sub), Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Aniket Verma, Abhinav Manohar, Simarjeet Singh, Pat Cummins (Captain), Mohammed Shami, Harshal Patel

IPL 2025, Match 7: SRH vs LSG Dream11 Top Captains And Vice-captains

Top 3 Captain's choices

Travis Head: While SRH have the most dangerous batting line-up, Aussie cricketer Travis Head plays the crucial starter role for his team, which exactly matches with his batting character. While the IPL 2024 runners-up SRH started the IPL 2025 with the second-highest IPL total, Head set up the status with his firing 67 off 31 balls with nine fours and three sixes. 

Mitchell Marsh: Despite playing the IPL 2025 only as a batter due to his recovery process from his injury, Australian cricketer Mitchell Marsh highly impressed with the bat during LSG's first game in the IPL 2025, where the opener recorded his joint fastest T20 50 runs in 21 balls and scored 72 off 36 balls with six fours and six sixes to provide a solid start for his team. 

Nicholas Pooran: Caribbean cricketer Nicholas Pooran is one of the busiest T20 cricketers at present, as he holds the most T20 runs record since 2024 with a massive 190+ sixes, as he is one of the most dangerous T20 batters at present. In their season opener, while Pooran was dropped early, he punished the Delhi Capitals with his 75 off 30 balls with six fours and seven sixes.

Top 3 Vice-captain's choices

Ishan Kishan: What a stunning comeback for Ishan Kishan as he slammed the first century in the IPL 2025 by scoring 106 not out off 47 balls with 11 fours and six sixes to guide SRH to the second-highest total in IPL history. Now, the left-handed batter has to prove his improvement by performing consistently. 

Shardul Thakur: After remaining unsold in the mega auctions, Shardul Thakur is outstanding. After his incredible domestic cricket season as an all-rounder, Thakur has joined LSG as a replacement and picked up two wickets in his first over of the IPL 2025. Despite bowling well in his two overs, Thakur was not allowed to complete his quota, and LSG suffered a surprise one-wicket defeat against Delhi Capitals. So, the importance of Thakur for LSG was very clear in their season opener. 

Heinrich Klaasen: South African cricketer Heinrich Klaasen is now one of the most dangerous middle-order batters, who is popular for his incredible consistency with the bat, along with powerful hits. In their first game of the IPL 2025, while SRH recorded the second-highest IPL total, Klaasen had an effective cameo of 34 off 14 balls with five fours and one six. 

Hyderabad put on 282 in the first game and now they take on LSG, who could not defend a 200+ total in their opener. The signs look ominous for certain. Lucknow are missing a handful of key bowlers in their side and with little for comfort, they could well see another big score go up against them in the next game. 300 does not seem too far, and the last encounter between these two sides remains fresh when Sunrisers chased down 166 in less than 10 overs. Can they challenge the Hyderabad batters and does Rishabh Pant have some magic in him to conjure something special out of a sticky situation?

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants Key Players

Nicholas Pooran

Nicholas Pooran has a task on hand. Batters in Hyderabad tend to get a good grip of the pitch and for six-hitter like him the role becomes all the more important as Lucknow look to stay in the contest against the most explosive side in the IPL.

Abhishek Sharma

Abhishek Sharma the batter is off to a good start in the tournament. The bowler though has been coming in nicely too. With Rajasthan making 242, Abhishek Sharma managed to bowl two tidy overs at 8.5. He was quick and efficient and looks improved and capable to build into another potential left-arm spinning all-rounder in the Axar Patel mold. 

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants Match Tips

Sunrisers start evident favorites on a good batting track and against a shaky bowling line-up.
