The cricket field isn’t the only place where Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are fighting battles this season. The franchise has now taken Uber Moto to the Delhi High Court, claiming the company’s latest ad campaign has gone too far.

In a YouTube ad titled “Baddies in Bengaluru ft. Travis Head,” Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) star batter Travis Head is seen sneaking into a stadium ahead of a Bengaluru vs Hyderabad IPL match. Sporting gold chains and a white shirt, Head, nicknamed ‘Hyderabaddie, ’ spray-paints the signage to read “Royally Challenged Bengaluru,” a not-so-subtle jab at RCB.

The ad has gone viral, racking up over 54 million views on Instagram and 1.3 million on YouTube, but it hasn't amused RCB. The team’s management claims the phrase is a direct play on their trademark “Royal Challengers,” accusing Uber of using a deceptively similar variant in a mocking tone. “We have no issue with humor, but not at the cost of our trademark and identity,” said RCB’s lawyer, advocate Shwetasree Majumder. “There were a million other ways to make a fun ad without dragging our brand into it, especially by using someone who once wore our jersey.”

Uber Fires Back: It's All Banter, Not Blame

Uber, represented by advocate Saikrishna Rajagopal, has dismissed the lawsuit as “preposterous,” arguing the ad falls under commercial free speech. Rajagopal emphasized that the ad never labels RCB as “baddies,” but rather portrays Head as simply “giving them a headache” on match day. “The phrase ‘Royally Challenged’ has already been used by media outlets and fans over the years. It’s cheeky, sure, but that’s part of cricketing banter,” said Rajagopal. “RCB needs to respond with humor, not lawsuits.”

Justice Saurabh Banerjee, after hearing both sides at length, reserved judgment on the plea for an interim injunction. While he acknowledged the ad could be interpreted in different ways, he noted that parody and commercial speech walk a thin line. While both parties await the court's verdict, the advertisement continues to trend online with fans torn between laughing it off and demanding accountability. One thing is for sure: off-field drama trumps anything that transpires on the IPL grounds.

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s explosive opener Abhishek Sharma delivered one of the most electrifying performances of IPL 2025 during their clash against Punjab Kings on Saturday. The left-hander unleashed a sensational assault on the PBKS bowlers, scoring a breathtaking 141 runs off just 55 balls. His blistering innings powered SRH to a record-breaking chase of 246 runs, finishing the job with 12 balls to spare. The win came at a crucial time for the team, which had been struggling after four consecutive losses. Abhishek's heroic knock not only ended their losing streak but also lifted the team from the bottom of the points table, injecting much-needed energy and belief.

What caught everyone’s attention even more was Abhishek’s unique celebration upon reaching his maiden IPL century. He pulled out a handwritten note from his pocket and held it up for the cameras. The message was simple yet heartfelt: "This one is for Orange Army."

Later, during a post-match chat with the broadcasters, his opening partner Travis Head revealed an interesting detail behind the moment. Head shared that Abhishek had been carrying that note in his pocket since the beginning of the season, waiting for the right moment to reveal it. After five matches without a major contribution, it was finally in the sixth game that he delivered his finest performance yet and fulfilled his promise to the fans. It was not just a statement of intent but a touching tribute to the supporters who stood by SRH during their tough run.

 “The note has been in the pocket of Abhishek Sharma for 6 games, glad it came out tonight,” said the Australian batter. 

Special mention to Yuvraj Singh and Suryakumar Yadav:  Abhishek Sharma

Abhishek Sharma, who had been enduring a lean patch this season, bounced back spectacularly with a stunning knock of 141 off just 55 balls, guiding Sunrisers Hyderabad to a dominant eight-wicket victory over Punjab Kings. His explosive innings powered SRH to chase down a daunting target of 246, marking the second-highest successful run chase in IPL history. The win not only ended SRH’s four-match losing streak but also brought renewed hope to the team’s campaign.

"This one is very special, because I wanted to break that losing streak. Losing four back-to-back matches was very tough. But we never talked about it in the team. Special mention to Yuvi paji (Yuvraj Singh) and Suryakumar (Yadav) as well. They have been in touch with me," said Abhishek, after remarkable innings.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is renowned for its high-octane atmosphere, and the clash between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on April 12 was no different. A memorable moment from the match came when Shreyas Iyer's frustration with the umpire was visibly apparent.

During the 4th over of the match between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Punjab Kings (PBKS), a tense moment unfolded when Glenn Maxwell and Prabhsimran Singh decided to review a caught behind decision. The umpire, however, bypassed Punjab Kings' captain Shreyas Iyer and directly approached the third umpire for the review. This move sparked an immediate reaction from Iyer, who was visibly frustrated.

He raised his voice and exclaimed, "Abbe mujhse toh pucho DRS ka," expressing his displeasure at not being consulted before the review was taken. Iyer's outburst quickly caught the attention of those watching, and the moment went viral, highlighting his impatience with the decision-making process during the game. This incident added another layer of intensity to an already high-energy match, reflecting the passion and emotions that often surface in the heat of IPL competition.

Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head hammered PBKS bowlers

The Punjab Kings skipper voiced his displeasure to the umpire before eventually opting for the review, showing visible frustration over the decision. However, the on-field drama did little to shake the focus of Sunrisers Hyderabad’s batters. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma put on a record-breaking partnership- the highest for any wicket in IPL 2025 so far- anchoring SRH’s successful chase.

Travis Head contributed a solid 66 off 37 balls, including 9 boundaries and 3 sixes. While he initially played second fiddle to Abhishek Sharma’s early blitz, Head picked up momentum during the middle overs, particularly targeting the spinners to accelerate the innings and help SRH stay ahead in the chase.

The spotlight, however, belonged to Abhishek Sharma, who delivered a jaw-dropping performance. The left-hander smashed 141 off just 55 balls, laced with 14 fours and 10 sixes. His innings not only marked the third-highest individual score in IPL history but also became the highest-ever score while chasing in the league’s record books.

The showdown between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad quickly turned into a high-scoring spectacle. Opting to bat first, PBKS showcased their firepower with the bat, posting a mammoth 245-run total in 20 overs. Skipper Shreyas Iyer led from the front with a blazing 82 off just 36 deliveries, while other batters contributed steadily to push the total well past the 240-run mark.

In reply, SRH openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma came out with all guns blazing. The duo dismantled the PBKS bowling unit with aggressive stroke play, putting the pressure back on the visitors right from the start. Their blistering partnership gave SRH strong momentum in their daunting chase, rattling the opposition’s bowlers early in the innings and keeping the required run rate within reach.

Tensions briefly erupted on the field when Glenn Maxwell, introduced during the powerplay, was taken apart by the SRH batters. He conceded 16, 10, and 14 runs in his three overs, failing to provide any control with the ball. Things escalated when Travis Head and Maxwell, both Australians, engaged in a heated exchange in the middle. Marcus Stoinis quickly stepped in to cool things down, preventing the situation from spiraling further.

Abhishek Sharma’s 141 helped SRH chase 246 runs

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) delivered a powerful statement in IPL 2025 with an emphatic 8-wicket win over Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Batting first, PBKS put up a mammoth total of 245/6 in their 20 overs. Captain Shreyas Iyer led the charge with a blistering 82 off just 36 balls, supported by Priyansh Arya (36), Prabhsimran (42), and Marcus Stoinis (34*). Harshal Patel starred with the ball for SRH, claiming 4 wickets, while Eshan Malinga picked up 2.

 Chasing a massive target of 246, SRH openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma tore into the PBKS bowling attack.

Heinrich Klaasen (21*) and Ishan Kishan (9*) comfortably took SRH home in just 18.3 overs. With this dominant win, SRH successfully chased one of the highest targets in IPL history, climbing to eighth on the points table. PBKS, despite their strong batting effort, dropped to sixth after their bowlers failed to defend a towering total.

Australian batter Travis Head had a small interview session where he was asked about his memories of his cricketing journey, where the batter described his memorable win in World Cup 2023 which happened in India. The other was the finals of the WTC Championship, he was the main man who finished the job for his team. His destructive batting from the top of the order ceased the cup for his nation. 
In recent years Australian batter Travis Head has been the major talk point in India as he was the reason India was denied winning the World Cup in the final India's unbeaten record of 24 match streak was broken with his made137 runs which garnered Australia their 6th ICC World Cup, In the same year another major blow was delivered by him in the WTC Test Championship Final, where his century became the deciding factor of that match.

Currently Travis Head is playing IPL for the SRH franchise who were the runners-up for the previous season. This year Travis Head had a good start in the opening encounter against RR, where he scored 67 runs in 31 balls with 9 boundaries and 3 sixes. But after that followed a drought in scores, where his form has been trembling with the continuous low scores. 

Rohit Sharma The favourite Indian Batter
Rohit Sharma has been a trend talk in social media, The Indian Captain is known for his aggressive batting and witty talks with an immense fan following. Recently his name was buzzing around in X(formerly Twitter), where the SRH batter was asked about his favourite Indian batter with the options of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli or someone the other. Travis Head instantly gave the answer to Rohit Sharma he didn't have a second thought in his mind even though he highlighted his batting style.

He didn't think even for a second 😭 pic.twitter.com/XD0tSEXD1L

Coming to Head, he is the part of SRH team who is at the bottom of the table right now despite being the strong batting side in the tournament. Even Travis Head seems to be struggling with form though having a good start in the tournament. SRH have lost 4 games in a row and they need to turn around soon otherwise the chances of reaching playoffs will get slim.

Travis Head, the Aussie cricket star we all know for smashing centuries, is now stealing the show in a hilarious new ad for Uber Moto in India! Yep, you heard that right—our man Travis has gone from hitting sixes to playing a cheeky character called the ‘Hyderabaddie,’ and it’s honestly so much fun to watch. This ad, set in the lively streets of Hyderabad, is all about Uber Moto’s bike taxi service, which gets you a ride in under three minutes—perfect for zooming through traffic.

In the ad, Travis teams up with a bunch of ‘Hyderabaddies’ to pull off some playful pranks on rival city teams, then makes a quick escape on an Uber Moto bike. There’s this one scene where he’s standing in a crisp white shirt, striking a dramatic pose through a round window—it’s straight out of a Bollywood movie, kind of like that classic Ishq vibe from the ‘90s! Travis even throws in a funny line about the fares starting at just ₹25, saying, “Dhakka laga na?” which basically means “Did that hit you hard?” I couldn’t help but laugh—it’s so him!

5. Priyansh Arya

The young and dynamic batter from Punjab Kings delivered a stunning 39-ball century against Chennai Super Kings, standing firm against a challenging bowling attack. In his explosive knock, Priyansh hit 7 fours and an impressive 9 massive sixes. After a few quiet outings earlier in the tournament, the pressure was mounting on him to perform — and he responded in style. This powerful inning was well worth the wait, as he took on seasoned spinners and handled the pacers with confidence, proving that he’s ready for the big stage. His performance has instilled hope and shown that he can be a dependable batter for the team.

4. Travis Head

Australian opener Travis Head is renowned for his explosive batting style, often clearing the boundary with ease. In a memorable match last year against Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, he delivered one of his most destructive performances. After Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and opted to bat first, Head unleashed a brutal assault on the RCB bowlers, sending the ball to all parts of the ground. His powerful knock included 9 fours and 8 sixes, culminating in a blistering 39-ball century that left RCB reeling and completely shifted the momentum in SRH’s favour.

3. David Miller

South African left-handed batter David Miller is widely known for his explosive and game-changing batting. In a 2013 clash between Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore, RCB posted a challenging total of 190 while batting first. Punjab’s chase seemed shaky after losing a few early wickets, but Miller turned the tide with his fearless stroke play. While others struggled to time the ball, Miller dominated the bowling attack with ease. He took control of the chase and powered his way to victory with 8 boundaries and 7 towering sixes, finishing the match in style that once appeared out of reach for Punjab.

2. Yusuf Pathan

Yusuf Pathan, known for his explosive right-handed batting, played a memorable knock for the Rajasthan Royals in 2010 during a high-scoring encounter against the Mumbai Indians. MI had set a formidable target of 212 runs, thanks to strong performances from their top-order batters. Rajasthan’s chase started on a shaky note, losing early wickets and finding themselves in a tough spot. However, Yusuf Pathan turned the game on its head with a blistering counterattack. He launched into the MI bowlers with fearless hitting, smashing 8 sixes and 9 boundaries on his way to a 37-ball century. Although Rajasthan Royals narrowly lost the match by just 4 runs, Pathan’s explosive innings remain one of the standout performances in IPL history.

1. Chris Gayle

West Indies powerhouse Chris Gayle delivered one of the most iconic innings in IPL history during a match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Pune Warriors India. After winning the toss, Bangalore opted to bat first, and what followed was pure carnage. Gayle unleashed a brutal assault on the opposition bowlers, scoring an unbeaten 175 runs — a record that still stands today. His innings included a staggering 17 sixes and 13 fours, leaving the Pune bowlers with no answers. It remains one of the most unforgettable knocks in T20 cricket.

IPL 2025, Match 19: SRH vs GT Dream11 Top Captains And Vice-captains

Top 3 Captain choices

Sai Sudharsan: In-form Sai Sudharsan is the second leading run-scorer in the IPL 2025 with 186 runs in three innings by scoring 74, 63, and 49 runs, respectively.

Travis Head: Among the SRH top-order batters, only Australian star Travis Head is in form with the scores of 67, 47, 22, and four runs, respectively. If he gets enough support from the other batters, Head can produce a powerful start for his team. 

Pat Cummins: While SRH are struggling, captain Pat Cummins has to play a key role for his franchise. In the tough bowling pitch in Hyderabad, skipper Cummins bowled impressively in their last game against the Lucknow Super Giants. His cameo with the bat will also play a crucial role in the batting. 

Top 3 Vice-captain choices

Jos Buttler: English star Jos Buttler started the IPL 2025 strongly with scores of 54, 39, and 73 not out, respectively. The Hyderabad venue generally produces batting-friendly pitches in recent T20 cricket, and Buttler can be one of the dangerous batters in the match. 

Mohammed Siraj: Although Mohammed Siraj started the IPL 2025 with a wicketless expensive bowling figures (0/54), the right-arm pacer scalped five wickets in the next two games, including picking up three wickets (3/19) in their last match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru to win the Player of the Match award. 

Heinrich Klaasen: Dangerous batter Heinrich Klaasen is one of the most consistent middle-order batters in present-day white-ball cricket. While his team had batting woes in their last three fixtures, Klaasen's scores in this IPL season were 34, 26, 32, and 33 runs, respectively.

IPL 2025, Match 15: KKR vs SRH Dream11 Top Captains And Vice-captains

Top 3 Captain choices

Travis Head: Australian cricketer Travis Head is one of the most dangerous batters, who can change the game with his ability. Despite some challenges, Head has provided good starts for his team in the early IPL 2025 by scoring 67, 47, and 22 runs, respectively. 

Sunil Narine: Caribbean all-rounder Sunil Narine is a very important name for KKR, who plays an important role for his franchise with his effective bowling and powerplay-friendly opening batting. He scored 44 runs in the season opener but still needs to find his top form, which he can bring in the upcoming fixtures. 

Varun Chakravarthy: As KKR are returning to the Eden Gardens, Varun Chakravarthy can play an important role in the important match against SRH. 

Top 3 Vice-captain choices

Heinrich Klaasen: South African middle-order batter Heinrich Klaasen is a dangerous and consistent batter. He scored 34, 26, and 32 runs in the ongoing IPL 2025.

Quinton de Kock: Former South African cricketer Quinton de Kock has to play a very crucial role for the defending champions. Although he was dismissed twice in single digits in early IPL 2025, he also scored a match-winning 97 not out against Rajasthan Royals.

Pat Cummins: While SRH are struggling, captain Pat Cummins can inspire his team, which he does regularly. Apart from his effective pace bowling, Cummins can make a significant contribution with the bat as a cameo in the lower order. 

IPL 2025 is just a mystery of turns where top-performing teams are dragged down to the bottom 4 positions and underperforming are playing some good cricket this season. That is why IPL has been such a fascinating game where it is unpredictable which team rise to the occasion. Well, the next game is played between the finalists of last season one is Sunrise Hyderabad and the other one is Kolkata Knight Riders. 
Kolkata won last year's final battle against Sunrises Hyderabad which was a dented final where SRH won the toss and elected to bat first that was the only thing that happened right to them after that it was totally bizarre where they just scored 116 runs only, losing all their wickets in the regular intervals. Kolkata won the match with 57 balls to spare and claimed their third title. But this time both team's fortunes have drastically changed. 
Read More: IPL 2025: Sunrises Hyderabad Playing 11 vs Kolkata Knight Riders
Kolkata and Hyderabad both the teams have won only one game in their 3 games which is quite adverse these two teams can change it but this can be changed if any team wins the match. Many players can just win the crunch moments of the game. 
1 Pat Cummins
 First on our list is the Australian skipper Pat Cummins who can make a huge difference with his all-round abilities He proved himself with bat and ball against LSG he hit 3 sixes in 3 balls and picked out two wickets in that match but unfortunately SRH lost the match but Pat Cummins all-round performance was appreciated through that match. SRH captain can be really dangerous too as his team has lost back-to-back games and, will definitely try hard to come out from these continuous defeats.

2. Andre Russell
 Dre Rus is the second man on our list who can create a big impact in this game as he did in last year's final where he picked three important wickets for Sunrishes batsmen from there the very for them was not yet possible. Same thing the Kolkata franchise would love to get back from him. Though his recent form is not great which is hurting Kolkata a lot, players like Russell just take one inning to turn around the match and who knows if it will win tomorrow against SRH.
3. Travis Head
 Australian opener Travis Head can be a game-changer if he gets ongoing. If you missed him at the start then it would be a danger sign for the opposite team. Head has been in good form in this season where he scored 65 runs at the opening game but couldn't go on much in the next two games as he got out early. It's better if you get him early if he stays long then it's going to be a headache for the opposition
