The 2nd game of the TATA IPL 2025 will be played between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals. This match is part of the first double header of the season on Sunday, March 23. Both teams came close to winning the title last year but failed to do so. Meanwhile, both teams are looking to increase the number of stars on their jersey.
In other words, both teams have a star each on their kit as they have won the IPL titles once (RR in 2008 and SRH in 2016). Both teams have made significant changes in the squad compared to last year while having retained a few players. Rahul Dravid, who coached India to the T20 World Cup 2024 win, is now the head coach of the Royals.
