Headache is playing or not??

After their last match was washed out at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Royal Challengers Bengaluru will return to action for the first time since resumption as they take on Sunrisers Hyderabad at Ekana Stadium, Lucknow. The encounter was shifted from Bengaluru to Lucknow due to unfavourable weather conditions in Bengaluru.

RCB have already qualified for the playoffs with 17 points, and still have two matches to play and their primary aim at the moment is to finish in the top two in the league stage to get an advantage in the playoffs. They are currently sitting in the second spot with eight wins, three losses and one no result. On the other hand, SRH have been eliminated from the playoffs race and will play for the pride on Friday. They are currently placed at the eighth spot, with four wins, seven losses and a no result.

After announcing retirement from Test cricket, it will be the first time that Virat Kohli will return to action after the KKR match was washed out. The ever-reliable Kohli has been in imperious form, scoring seven fifties in 11 innings and anchoring the top order with characteristic elegance. Skipper Rajat Patidar, Tim David, and Romario Shepherd have complemented him well with timely bursts of power hitting.

In the bowling department, Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma have formed a potent spin partnership, while Josh Hazlewood and Yash Dayal have handled the challenging pace overs with composure. However, Hazlewood will miss the upcoming match as he continues to recover from a shoulder injury.

SRH bank on winning momentum!

IPL 2025, RCB vs SRH Live Updates, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: Sunrisers Hyderabad are coming off a convincing six-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants and will be eager to carry that momentum and finish this forgettable season on a high.

No Josh for RCB tonight?

Australia pacer Josh Hazlewood is likely to rejoin Royal Challengers Bengaluru ahead of the IPL playoffs, having recovered from a shoulder niggle. The fast bowler last featured in the ongoing IPL season on April 27 and has since missed two games. He will also miss tonight's clash.

Abhishek looks to finish the season on high!

IPL 2025, RCB vs SRH Live Updates, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: Abhishek Sharma has been the leading run-getter for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL this season. The left-handed batter has scored 373 runs in 11 matches at a strike rate of 192.26. The swashbuckling opener will look to finish the season on a high.

Patidar needs to regain form!

IPL 2025, RCB vs SRH Live Updates, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: Rajat Patidar's form took a dip just before the break. After averaging 37.2 in his first five games, he managed only 53 runs in the next five at an average of 10.6. A finger injury, sustained during the home clash against Chennai Super Kings, forced him into a splint. However, he has been batting freely in the nets once again in a promising sign for RCB heading into the business end.

Virat Kohli in imperious form!

IPL 2025, RCB vs SRH Live Updates, Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: Virat Kohli has been in imperious form, scoring seven fifties in 11 innings and anchoring the top order with characteristic elegance.
