The Sunrisers Hyderabad have been gearing up for the IPL 2025 after culminating their journey as the runners-up during last year’s edition. The side lost to KKR in the summit clash, but this time Pat Cummins and Co. will be looking to grab the title.
However, it seems that the one key area of focus of the side is opening pairs. Notably, Aussie sensation Travis Head, who had great numbers in the IPL 2024, will be one of the opening batters. Here are three batters who can open the innings alongside
1. Abhishek Sharma

The Indian star batter Abhishek Sharma is the frontrunner to open the innings alongside Head. The star batter had an explosive season in the IPL 2024, where his and Head’s opening stand for the SRH made bold headlines, especially their 10-wicket win over KL Rahul led the LSG side in the league stage game. The Punjab-born batter possesses the ability to smack runs in the power plays making him one of the batters to watch out for. The left-handed batter can once again be Head’s opening partner for the upcoming edition.
2. Ishan Kishan

Indian star batter Ishan Kishan, who had a great outing for the Mumbai Indians, will now be next seen in action for SRH. The star batter has opened the innings alongside Rohit Sharma for over the years, and he possesses the ability to dominate the bowlers with his hard-hitting batting style in the power plays. The SRH side can try him out with Head in the IPL 2025. Kishan is out from the Indian team in all three formats and will be looking to showcase his impact to get an Indian call-up again.
3. Atharva Taide

The young batting sensation Taide has been one of the most consistent performers for the Indian setup in the domestic matches. The side might consider him if they decide to give the opportunity to the promising players. Taide has showcased his best form in the first-class matches and can repeat it in the cash-rich league.
