Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants in Match 6 of IPL 2025 is now underway with LSG skipper Rishabh Pant winning the toss and deciding to bowl first against SRH in Hyderabad.

 

Hyderabad has played a significant role in shaping the modern T20 game, with their aggressive approach making them one of the most formidable sides in IPL history. Players like Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Heinrich Klaasen, and Nitish Kumar Reddy have the ability to turn games around at any moment, and they’ve broken numerous T20 records in recent years.

 

On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants displayed promise in their clash with Delhi, but issues with both their bowling attack and captaincy ultimately cost them the game. Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran were outstanding with the bat, and Shardul Thakur impressed with the new ball. However, Thakur was inexplicably not brought back in the later stages, raising some concerns. Lucknow will need to address their weaknesses across all departments to challenge Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on March 27.
