SRH vs KKR Head-to-Head Record in IPL: As the Indian Premier League 2025 heads toward its final league stage fixture, the cricketing spotlight falls on Match 68 — a dead rubber on paper, yet a fierce battle of pride between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
The stage is set at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Sunday, May 25, where both teams, already out of playoff contention, aim to salvage their campaign with a morale-boosting victory.

The two sides have had turbulent journeys this season. KKR, the defending champions under Ajinkya Rahane’s leadership, couldn’t replicate their 2024 heroics and find themselves seventh on the table. SRH, led by Pat Cummins, are just below in eighth. While silverware is now out of sight, the desire to finish with honour ensures fans are in for a fiery contest under the Delhi lights.
The Arun Jaitley pitch is renowned for being a batsman’s paradise, offering short square boundaries and a flat deck. Spinners can get grip as the game progresses, but expect a run-feast if dew plays its part under the evening sky. The weather in Delhi is expected to be clear, with temperatures around 33°C and humidity at 45%. No rain interruptions are forecast.

SRH have displayed glimpses of brilliance, particularly in their last two matches against LSG and RCB. Abhishek Sharma has been their standout batter, combining flair and consistency with a 192+ strike rate this season. Heinrich Klaasen provides the muscle in the middle, while skipper Pat Cummins and Harshal Patel offer experience with the ball. Youngsters like Nitish Kumar Reddy and Aniket Verma are gradually making their mark.
KKR’s campaign has been marred by inconsistency. Ajinkya Rahane’s form has been a silver lining, and Rinku Singh continues to deliver late-innings fireworks. Andre Russell, though underutilised at times, remains a game-changer with both bat and ball. The ever-dependable Varun Chakravarthy has been their most lethal weapon in the bowling department. Watch out for rising talents like Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Ramandeep Singh, who bring youthful energy to the side.
Sunrisers Hyderabad: No new injuries. Mohammed Shami could feature as Impact Player.
Kolkata Knight Riders: Venkatesh Iyer remains a strong Impact Player option.
