IPL 2026, Match 31: Predicted SRH XI vs DC

The Sunrisers Hyderabad will look to extend their winning streak when they face the Delhi Capitals in Match 31 of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, Hyderabad on April 21.

Sunrisers have found their rhythm after a slow start, registering three victories in six matches and climbing steadily on the points table. Under the leadership of Ishan Kishan, the side has looked well-rounded, with both batting depth and bowling variety working in their favour. Meanwhile, Delhi too, are coming into the contest after a thrilling win over RCB.

Top-order: Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan (c)

This top-order of SRH, consisting of Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, and Ishan Kishan is easily one of the best IN IPL 2026. All of them are in a decent touch, especially Abhishek, who recently scored a 15-ball half-century against CSK. Travis Head is having a mixed start to this IPL this year, whereas Ishan Kishan has taken over the leadership duties well in the absence of Pat Cummins.

Middle-order: Heinrich Klaasen, Salil Arora (wk), Aniket Verma, Nitish Kumar Reddy

The SRH middle-order is doing their job silently throughout the IPL 2026. Heinrich Klaasen has been SRH’s best batter this season so far, scoring 283 runs in just six matches, and is the current holder of the Orange Cap. All-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy is contributing with both bat and ball, providing a much-needed balance to this side. Aniket Verma is yet to arrive in IPL 2026, whereas Salil Arora is keeping wickets quite decently.

Bowlers: Shivang Kumar, Praful Hinge, Sakib Hussain, Eshan Malinga

The resurgence of SRH in this IPL has been possible due to their bowling, especially the Indian core. Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain had a stunning debut in IPL against Rajasthan Royals, and have carried the same form. Shivang Kumar with his left-arm wrist spin has been sensational, whereas Eshan Malinga is picking up crucial wickets for them.

SRH predicted XI:

Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan (c), Heinrich Klaasen, Salil Arora (wk), Aniket Verma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Shivang Kumar, Praful Hinge, Sakib Hussain, Eshan Malinga

Impact Player: Harsh Dubey
