Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals are set to lock horns with each other for match 68 of Indian Premier League 2025 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. Although, this is a dead rubber contest as both these teams are already eliminated. However, their last league match would offer them an opportunity to end the tournament on a high note. Their previous encounter in this season ended in the favor of KKR and hence, SRH will seek revenge of that defeat and aim for a positive finish.
At the toss, both captains are present at the center. Cummins, the skipper of SRH flips the coin, and it lands in the favour of SRH and Cummins opted to bat first. SRH goes unchanged, while Quinton de Kock makes a comeback in KKR side.
Here's what the captains said at the toss:
Pat Cummins:
"Will bat first, looks like a good wicket. We've just clicked, the bowlers have been sharp and the batters have played to potential. Always hope to find momentum early, the good thing is we know we can keep this squad going forward. We have played well last 3-4 games, will try to find that consistency. Same team as the last game."
Ajinkya Rahane:
"Was looking to bowl first either way. The teams that chased in the last two games won at this venue. Playing after 18 days feels like a challenge, but just trying to focus in the practice session. We know everyone is going home after this game, so we are just trying to play to win and play to entertain. We had our moments this season, it is all about accepting the mistakes and learning from the good things. It is about playing for the fans, playing for pride. Agkrish has been fantastic, he is an opening batter but he has adapted to playing at 4 or 5. I hope he builds from this and gets to represent India as well."
