3 reasons why SRH batting lineup could pose a serious threat to other teams in IPL 2025

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will head into the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season as one of the most explosive teams. Last year, Pat Cummins and his team came a step closer to winning the title before going down to Kolkata Knight Riders in the finals. It was a great season for SRH as their batters twice broke the record for the highest team total in the league’s history. 

Apart from skipper Pat Cummins, SRH went on to retain Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen, and Nitish Kumar Reddy. In the auctions, the 2016 IPL winners went on to buy Mohammed Shami for INR 10 Crores with Harshal Patel being bought for INR 8 Crores. As far as the batting talent goes, Ishan Kishan who was with MI was bought for INR 11.25 Crores. 

Here are the top 3 reasons why SRH batting lineup could be the most dangerous in IPL 2025

3. Strong lower-order core 

With Nitish Kumar Reddy and Pat Cummins, SRH have a long batting line-up. Hyderabad can afford to bat deep as the two players can also bowl four overs in the game. Nitish Kumar Reddy grabbed the headlines when he scored a century on the recent tour of Australia at the MCG. Pat Cummins has scored one of the fastest IPL fifties and is more than capable with the bat in hand. Cummins can also play the sheet anchor’s role if the need arises and can use the long handle in the final few overs.

2. Heinrich Klaasen’s presence in the middle-order 

In the last 18 months, if we speak about power hitting in the white-ball format, there is no one better than Heinrich Klaasen. The South African star nearly pulled off a great chance against India in the T20 World Cup finals. Klaasen along with Ishan Kishan can provide the much-needed muscle in the middle-order. While Kishan is a natural striker of the ball, Klaasen has the much-needed power game to score those extra few runs for his side.

1. Destructive opening duo 

Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma need no introduction when it comes to power hitting in the first six overs. The dynamic batting duo put many bowling attacks to the sword which can be seen with their assault against Mumbai, RCB, and Lucknow SuperGiants in particular. Both Head and Sharma complement each other well with the bat and can play the big shots with ease against the pacers and the spinners. Not many captains had any answer to the two batting geniuses once they got going,
