SRH vs PBKS Toss, Playing 11 Update for IPL 2025: Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer opted to bat first after winning the toss against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad on April 12, 2025 (Saturday).

After winning the toss, Shreyas Iyer said: We are going to bat. In the last few games we have batted first, we have the ability to post good scores. We want to play some aggressive cricket, that's our mindset at the moment. We have seen that we don't have a fantastic record in the powerplay. We don't have that thought at the back of our minds. Every individual in our team play their brand of cricket. We got to be top notch, need to back our instincts. We have to keep repeating that again and again. Playing with the same team.

Meanwhile SRH captain Pat Cummins said: It's fine. I think we can chase anything. Not an ideal start. But we are training really well. Everyone is in a good space. We have lost a few in a row, but that isn't ideal. One change. Malinga comes in the side for Kamindu Mendis.

Conditions are pleasant and not too humid-ideal for players. The pitch looks like a batting paradise with minimal grass and small boundaries (63m & 69m square, 77m straight), making it perfect for high scores. Expect a par total of around 220-230.
