Rahul Chahar will play, decline in Jaydev Unadkat

In the 33rd match of IPL 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad will be taking on Mumbai Indians at Mumbai’s iconic Wankhede Stadium. Both teams are among the strongest in the IPL on paper, but they have struggled a lot in the current season. With two wins and four losses each, both sides are desperate for a win today. Let’s look at the likely playing XI for SRH today.

Ehsan Malinga out?

Sri Lanka’s Ehsan Malinga made his IPL debut in the last match against Punjab Kings. However, it didn’t go well for him, as he had an economy of 11.25 while taking 2 wickets. Despite this, he will most likely play again in the clash against Mumbai Indians to get a second chance.

Place for Jaydev Unadkat?

SRH will be looking to bring in Jaydev Unadkat, but that will depend on their batting performance. If everything goes according to plan and the top order scores some runs, then Jaydev Unadkat might come in as a second-innings impact player. Otherwise, it will be someone else taking the role of an impact player in the match.

Suspense on Rahul Chahar

When SRH bought Rahul Chahar, it was expected that he would play every match for the team. However, so far, he hasn’t played as many matches, with a preference for other spinners. Considering the match is in Mumbai, it’s very likely that Rahul Chahar might play. Rahul was previously associated with the Mumbai Indians for a long time, and his experience would be valuable for Sunrisers Hyderabad as he understands the pitches and playing conditions well. Zeeshan Ansari is likely to be rested for this match.
