Can Hyderabad Deliver the Run-Fest Wankhede Didn't?
The 2025 IPL season has been marked by anticipation and hype, with the introduction of the Impact Player rule and a new generation of Indian batters. Sunrisers Hyderabad's opening match saw them score 286 for 6, the second-highest total in IPL history. However, their next match against Mumbai Indians at Wankhede saw a sluggish pitch and a batting performance that was far from the expected run-fest.
Now, SRH hosts MI in Hyderabad, with a truer surface and a chance to redeem themselves. The question is, can they deliver the run-fest that Wankhede didn't?
