Exciting Showdown awaits in IPL 2025 Match 2

As these two teams gear up for yet another thrilling battle, fans are eagerly anticipating a high-intensity contest filled with drama, excitement, and top-quality cricket.

Here are the top three player battles to watch out for in RR vs SRH, Match 2 of IPL 2025:

3. Riyan Parag vs Pat Cummins

Riyan Parag was the leading run-getter for Rajasthan in the previous edition of the IPL and has been in good form in the international circuit as well. He will be a key player in the middle order for Rajasthan.

He will be facing Pat Cummins from SRH who has a very good record against him. Pat Cummins has dismissed Parag twice in 13 balls while Parag has managed just 14 runs against him at a strike rate of 107. Cummins will once again be a great matchup against the Assam all-rounder.

2. Mohammad Shami vs Sanju Samson

Sanju Samson scored more than 500 runs in the previous edition and will likely open the batting for Rajasthan in this match. He will be facing the likes of Mohammad Shami with the new ball, and the pacer is usually very good in the powerplay overs.

Samson has a good record against the pacer, having scored 64 runs in 37 balls at a strike rate of 173 and an average of 64. He has been dismissed by him only once. This will be a fascinating battle to watch and one that could have a huge impact on the outcome of this game.

1. Travis Head vs Maheesh Theekshana

Travis Head was on fire in the previous edition and scored 567 runs in 15 matches. He will be a crucial player at the top of the order for Sunrisers. He will be up against Maheesh Theekshana who has been picked up by RR in for this season.

Maheesh Theekshana can also bowl in the powerplay and Theekshana has gotten the wicket of Travis Head the last time these two met. Travis Head was dismissed once and could score only six runs against Theekshana. This could be a great match up, and we can expect him to take the new ball against Head.
