With a bit of interruption predicted in the weather forecast, it's not a surprise that DC sent SRH to bat first. If the rain does come, the DLS method mostly favours the chasing team. Let's see what happens.
Delhi Capitals: Karun Nair, Dushmantha Chameera, Ashutosh Sharma, Tripurana Vijay, Auqib Nabi
Sunrisers Hyderabad: Smaran Ravichandran, Praful Hinge, Liam Livingstone, Dilshan Madushanka, Harshal Patel
DC have bought in Nitish Rana for Auqib Nabi while SRH have drafted in Dilshan Madushanka and Harsh Dubey. this means as Kishan hinted at the toss that Hinge might miss out.
Pathum Nissanka, KL Rahul(w), Sameer Rizvi, Nitish Rana, Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel(c), David Miller, Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar, T Natarajan, Lungi Ngidi
Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan(c), Heinrich Klaasen, Salil Arora(w), Aniket Verma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Shivang Kumar, Harsh Dubey, Sakib Hussain, Eshan Malinga
Axar: We will bowl first. Luck is going well (on the toss); winning all matches would have been better. Thank you, I didn't think I would play 100 matches for DC. Hopefully, it'll end up with a win tonight. We need a balanced playing XI, depending on the situation. Managing a big team is difficult, the best playing XI can be selected and the players know it. One change: Nitish Rana replaces Aquib Nabi.
Kishan: It's hard to decide, but I don't think this is a similar wicket. A few changes: Madushanka comes in, Hinge might miss out, I'm not sure, and Harsh Dubey is back as well. Executing plans is the way to go, we'll take one match at a time and execute them.
Time for the toss and the two captains are in the middle. The coin goes up and Delhi Capitals win toss, opt to bowl first vs Sunrisers Hyderabad
The last time these two sides met was in May of last year but the match was abandoned due to heavy rain in Hyderabad. Delhi batted first and posted 133/7 with Ashutosh Sharma and Tristan Stubbs scoring 41 each. Cummins took 3 wickets. But before SRH could bat, the rain forced the match to be called off
Six years ago, a fast bowler’s nickname was enough to get Robin Singh’s attention. Singh, the coach at the GenNext Cricket Academy in Patna, had asked his fast bowler nephew for recommendations.
“My nephew told me Sakib’s nickname on the tennis-ball cricket circuit was ‘Rabada’ because he was fast. I am most excited to coach fast bowlers. I asked my nephew to ask him to come to Patna. With the leather ball Sakib was not accurate, but he had potential. He was nippy off the wicket. For most fast bowlers, after the ball pitches it loses pace. Sakib’s loss was minimal,” Singh tells The Indian Express about his first impressions of a 15-year-old Sakib.
On his IPL debut, Sakib Hussain, now 21, took 4 for 24 for Sunrisers Hyderabad against Rajasthan Royals in Hyderabad on Monday. Fellow debutant Praful Hinge took 4 for 34. Between them, two men nobody had heard of dismantled Rajasthan Royals on the same evening.
Kavya Maran was off her seat before the ball was caught. When Praful Hinge’s delivery ballooned off Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s bat into the Hyderabad sky, the Sunrisers owner was already on her feet, almost praying.
The ball came down. Wicketkeeper Salil Arora moved under it, took it, and the SRH dugout became a pile of people jumping on each other.
Sooryavanshi looked at the heavens and walked off for a golden duck. The 15-year-old who had been crunching boundaries off the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Josh Hazlewood all tournament, dismissed by a debutant nobody had heard of.
Dhruv Jurel arrived. Second ball, gone. Lhuan-dre Pretorius arrived. Sixth ball of the over, caught at deep backward square leg. Three wickets in one over, the first time it had been done in IPL history. Rajasthan Royals 1/3 before the second over had started.
Bhuvneshwar’s three early wickets had threatened a rout. Rahul’s 57 off 34 turned it into a contest. When Axar hobbled off and the equation tightened over by over, Patidar kept Shepherd back, calculating. David Miller, still carrying something from a previous game, settled it in six balls.

Chennai Super Kings gave themselves every chance and then ran out of answers. A 76-run powerplay, Mhatre blazing, Short anchoring, the equation always just about manageable — and then, over by over, the margin that felt comfortable quietly became the margin that wasn’t. Two bowlers made the difference. One knew exactly what he was doing. The other was still figuring it out — and figured it out just in time. (READ MORE)
When Mahesh Dheeravath was six years old, he slipped from a sunshade in Lingapur Thanda, a tribal village in Rangareddi district. The rusted iron rod that cut his hand in 1999 set off a chain of events — a poisoned wound, a doctor’s ultimatum to the mother: her son’s right hand or his life.
“I came back from my daily work, and by the time I returned, he was injured,” said Bujji Deeravath. There were no doctors in the village. A herbal paste was applied to the wound at a nearby settlement. Overnight, it got poisoned. By the time they reached Gandhi Hospital in Hyderabad, the poison had spread through his right hand.
Twenty-six years later, Mahesh was at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, watching an IPL game from the ground floor, an HCA volunteer beside him, transportation arranged and paid for. He had not bought a ticket. He had helped distribute them. (READ MORE)
“I know there’s been a lot said about my strike rate this season, but I’ve been putting the team in good positions, and I’m just doing my job,” Klaasen told reporters after the game on Saturday.
“I’ve been in difficult situations, and then you have to take responsibility and be mature about it. You can’t just deal with it, and that’s not how the game works. We get paid to do the job, and I don’t care about strike rate.You just have to be mature about it and find different ways of scoring ten runs an over and making sure that you still get a good score on the board.”

Simon Helmot, a key coaching staff with the Sunrisers Hyderabad, grew up in Melbourne and would sing the orange brigade’s team win song with much gusto after SRH defeated arch rivals CSK by 10 runs. Though the Aussie was schooled on SRH socials to improve their fielding levels urgently, though Nitish Reddy, Sakib Hussain, Eshan Malinga and Heinrich Klaasen got the job done against the yellow lions.
IPL is quite the zoo, with assorted teams staking claim to the wildlife royals, tigers and lions. But SRH has been on about their tiger, which is now morphed into Hydra, merely for rhyming purposes.
Having adopted Richmond Footie side’s Tigerland anthem in their dressing room for a few seasons now, 2026 has seen the lyrics retrofitted to suit the cricket league they are playing in. So, ‘Tigerland’ becomes ‘Hydera-bad’. (READ MORE)
