Fri Apr 25 14:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Sunrisers Hyderabad Aim for Historic Win Against Chennai Super Kings in Chennai
**Chennai, India** – Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will attempt to make history on Friday night as they face Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Chennai, a venue where they have never tasted victory. Pat Cummins, winning only his third toss of the season, opted to field first, a decision both teams might have made considering the anticipated evening dew.
Both teams, currently struggling near the bottom of the IPL table with only two wins each from eight matches, made significant changes to their lineups. CSK welcomed the highly anticipated debut of Dewald Brevis, the “Baby AB,” who replaces Gurjapneet Singh. Brevis’ arrival meant Rachin Ravindra was left out, with Ayush Mhatre, CSK’s youngest ever player, opening the innings alongside Shaik Rasheed. Other changes saw Deepak Hooda replacing Vijay Shankar and the return of Sam Curran.
SRH also reshuffled their squad, bringing in Sri Lankan spinner Kamindu Mendis for Eshan Malinga and welcoming back Mohammed Shami. Travis Head is expected to be their impact player.
The match promises to be a closely fought contest between two teams desperate for a win. The inclusion of Brevis and the return of key players for both sides adds intrigue to a game that could significantly impact the teams’ playoff hopes.
