Hyderabad vs Delhi on May 5

The IPL 2025 will travel to the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad for Match 55 as Sunrisers Hyderabad gear up to take on Delhi Capitals on Monday, May 05. With just three wins in 10 games, the home team are virtually eliminated from the tournament and are no more in the race for the playoffs. The Pat Cummins-led side are coming off a 38-run defeat at the hands of the Gujarat Titans in a high-scoring game at Ahmedabad. This season hasn't gone the way planned for the Orange Army, with their top-order and fast bowling specialists struggling with form. However, with no pressure of qualifications, SRH will hope to give their opposition a tough time in the middle. On the other hand, Delhi's second half of the season has been underwhelming, with four losses in their last six games. With the tournament moving towards its business end rapidly, and teams are pushing hard to finish in the top four, the Axar Patel-led side needs to bring a different plan to decimate the opposition. Notably, the last time these two sides faced each other this season, the Capitals came out victorious by seven wickets. 

Best economical pick – Delhi Capitals’ Kuldeep Yadav could be a possible threat to the opposition batters with his bowling. With 12 wickets in his last 10 matches, Yadav has been in good form, and his spell could trouble SRH. Notably, last time these two locked horns earlier in the season, the chinaman delivered a spell of 3/22 and played a key role in Delhi's win. 

Top captains & vice captains – Delhi Capitals’ veteran opener Faf du Plessis could be the best batter on his side’s upcoming game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. With a fighting knock of 62 runs in his previous game, the South African will be keen on putting in a similar performance against SRH and propelling his side further up the standings. Faf has managed to score 165 in five innings at an average of 33.00 and a strike rate of 134.14, including two fifties. Team India dasher Abhishek Sharma has racked up an incredible 314 runs in the last ten matches he has played so far. He will be expected to perform well here on their own backyard.

Smart pick – The South African sensation Heinrich Klaasen has racked up an incredible 311 runs in the last ten matches he has played so far. He will be expected to perform well here on their home turf.

Cautious Pick – Ishan Kishan’s IPL 2025 performance has been highly inconsistent: after a sensational unbeaten 106 off 47 balls in his first match, he struggled to make an impact in the next nine games, registering scores of 0, 2, 2, 17, 23, 14, 44, and 13, with only one other notable contribution of 44 runs. This patchy form-one explosive century followed by a string of low scores-suggests that while he has immense match-winning potential, his current lack of consistency makes him a risky pick for your fantasy team.

My XI –  Faf du Plessis (Captain), Abhishek Sharma (Vice-Captain), Heinrich Klaasen, Kuldeep Yadav, KL Rahul, Abhisek Porel, Axar Patel, Mitchell Starc, Travis Head, Karun Nair, Nitish Kumar Reddy
