Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) loss against Mumbai Indians have pushed the Pat Cummins-led side on step on the backfoot in the race for IPL 2025 playoffs qualification on Thursday. With just four points from seven games, SRH’s qualification chances are completely not over.
Known as one of the dangerous sides in IPL due to a star studded batting line-up, SRH started their IPL 2025 journey with a bang, posting 286/6 in their opening match. However, they started to slide from the next game as SRH lost five of their next six games in the competition.
At present two more teams – Rajasthan Royals (8th) and Chennai Super Kings (10th) are on level points with SRH. With seven more matches to go for SRH, let’s explore the possibilities of their IPL 2025 playoffs qualification.
