SRH vs. LSG Key Battle:
Travis Head vs Shardul Thaur:
This fight could determine the remaining course of the innings very well. Travis Head launched its IPL 2025 campaign in a great way. In the first match of the season, the Australian star hit a 50-fold swirl against the Royals in Rajasthan.
Opening the batting, Head scored 67 runs from just 31 balls, with the help of nine four balls and three sixes. He is expected to attack from the beginning of the upcoming game. The responsibility lies with Chardur Thakur to ensure that the head does not cause too much damage.
Thakur picked up two wickets over the first of the game against the Delhi Capitals, and fantasized about his chances against the head as well.
Heinrich Klasen vs Manimaran Siddharth:
This is another battle that is very important in determining the outcome of the game. Heinrich Klaasen will be a major threat to LSG in future games. In the previous game, the South African star scored 34 runs from just 14 balls.
He’s keeping an eye on another impactful knock in the upcoming games. And LSG hopes that their left arm spinner Manimaran Siddharth will weave his magic into it and dismiss it early.
Nicholas Fourlan vs Hershal Patel:
The battle between Nicholas Fourlan and Hershal Patel will also be interesting. Ashutosh is set to hit at the middle over of the LSG, which is the period during which Harshal normally operates.
Foran has launched its campaign at IPL 2025. His team lost in his final match, but Fourlan stood out in his batting performance. West Indies Star smashed 75 and ran just 30 balls, keeping an eye on another big score in the upcoming game. SRH relies on Hershal to prevent Foran from running away in the game.
