Welcome to Sportstar’s LIVE coverage of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Sunrisers Hyderabad IPL 2025 match being played at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
Ishan Kishan is the new man in. 
Bhuvneshwar Kumar is back. OUT! Head is gone. Hits the length ball straight to mid off. Two quick wickets for RCB! Head goes for 17. 
Heinrich Klaasen in at four. A quick and risky single to get off the mark. 
Lungi Ngidi into the attack. Head greets him with a pull in front of midwicket for four. SIX! Abhishek makes room in the leg side and slaps the length ball over covers. Now Abhishek moves across, reads the slower ball well, and sends the length ball towards fine leg for four. OUT! Abhishek is gone. Length ball, he picks it straight to deep square leg. Falls after scoring 34 off 17 balls. 
Dayal. Fuller length, Abhishek adds power to his drive and it goes past cover fielder for four. A huge appeal for LBW by RCB, umpire doesn’t give it. While the players were discussing, the siren for no ball rang. SIX! Length ball and Abhishek smashes it straight. Terrific hit. Another good over for SRH, 13 runs off it. 
Bhuvneshwar Kumar. On the pads and Head tucks it away towards square leg for four. Another four! This time Abhishek goes over covers. SIX! Now Abhishek goes way over midwicket region. 18 runs from that over. 
Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head open. Yash Dayal with the new ball. 
Yash to Abhishek, inside edge towards leg side and the batters take a single. Four! Head makes room, smacks the ball past cover off his first ball. Wasn’t in control of that shot but got enough power. Four singles and a boundary in that over. 
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Rajat Patidar, Rasikh Dar Salam, Jacon Bethell, Manoj Bhandage, Swapnil Singh.
Sunrisers Hyderabad: Mohammad Shami, Harsh Dubey, Sachin Baby, Zeeshan Ansari, Simarjeet Singh.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Philip Salt, Virat Kohli, Mayank Agarawal, Jitesh Sharma (c/wk), Tim David, Romario Shepherd, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yash Dayal, Lungi Ngidi, Suyash Sharma.
Sunrisers Hyderabad: Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan (wk), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen, Aniket Verma, Abhinav Manohar, Pat Cummins (c), Harshal Patel, Jaydev Unadkat, Eshan Malinga.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru wins the toss and opts to bowl against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Jitesh says Rajat Patidar will come in as Impact Player. Mayank Agarwal comes in place of Devdutt Padikkal.
Sunrisers Hyderabad with three changes. Travis Head, Abhinav Manohar and Jaydev Unadkat come in.
Live visuals show Jitesh Sharma walking out for the toss. Rajat Patidar was injured during a net session and though he was close to recovery, he will not captain RCB tonight.
The surface has patches of grass but overall bears a dry look. That should assist the spinners with grip. The pacers might resort to taking the pace off. Expect a lot of cutters. The team winning the toss should ideally want to bowl and get a hang of the surface. With searing temperatures during the day, the dew might also have its say in the second innings.
News reports have emerged that RCB opener might be missing from Playoffs due to the birth of his child. He was not named in England’s ODI squad set to face the West Indies and expected to play in the post season games. But RCB might have to find a replacement should Salt leave the side after the league stage.
Although, today’s fixture is a designated home game for RCB, it would take heart from the fact that it has won six out of six games when playing away from the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium this season.
The contest, a home game for RCB, was scheduled to be played at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. However, due to persistent rains in Bengaluru, the fixture was moved to Lucknow. RCB’s previous home game, against KKR on May 17, was washed out due to inclement weather too.
With Gujarat Titans’ loss on Thursday left the door open for Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru to sneak into the first two place. If both these teams win their remaining games, they will be assured of a place in the Qualifier 1 in New Chandigarh.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru head coach Andy Flower said on Thursday that the break from play, due to the suspension of the ongoing IPL and an abandoned match after resumption, has been beneficial for captain Rajat Patidar and opener Phil Salt. ​
