SRH vs KKR Toss Update, IPL 2025: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kolkata Knight Riders Playing 11, Captain's Quotes, Pitch Report

SRH vs KKR Toss, Playing 11 Update for IPL 2025: Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins opted to bat first after winning the toss against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on May 25, 2025 (Sunday).

After winning the toss, Pat Cummins said: Will bat first, looks like a good wicket. We've just clicked, the bowlers have been sharp and the batters have played to potential. Always hope to find momentum early, the good thing is we know we can keep this squad going forward. We have played well last 3-4 games, will try to find that consistency. Same team as the last game.

Meanwhile KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane said: Was looking to bowl first either way. The teams that chased in the last two games won at this venue. Playing after 18 days feels like a challenge, but just trying to focus in the practice session. We know everyone is going home after this game, so we are just trying to play to win and play to entertain. We had our moments this season, it is all about accepting the mistakes and learning from the good things. It is about playing for the fans, playing for pride. Agkrish has been fantastic, he is an opening batter but he has adapted to playing at 4 or 5. I hope he builds from this and gets to represent India as well. No changes, we are playing after 18 days so not really sure about the team.
