As the five-time champions look to regroup and strengthen their lineup, all eyes will be on whether Brevis gets his chance to shine in yellow for the first time this Friday.

Despite the early drama, Mumbai Indians secured a convincing seven-wicket victory. Trent Boult starred with the ball, taking four wickets for just 26 runs. He dismantled the threatening SRH opening stand of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma before later dismissing Manohar and Pat Cummins, contributing significantly to MI’s triumph.

Sunrisers Hyderabad's assistant coach Simon Helmot said that they are raring to go against Mumbai lndians. "We are a very positive team. We have lots of self-belief. Yes, we'd like the win-loss ratio to be slightly different, but the camp is in a very positive frame of mind."

SRH remains the only team in the league yet to register an away win. They will look to turn things around in their upcoming match against MI on April 23 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

Last season, Royal Challengers Bengaluru reached the playoffs with 14 points by winning six straight games—something SRH will hope to replicate.

Cricket stars often face intense fan attention. Sachin Tendulkar once needed police protection due to massive crowds. Virat Kohli’s hotel room was invaded by a fan in 2022.

KKR’s calculated batting effort, led by Iyer and Rinku, set the tone for a strong all-round performance. They later capitalised on SRH’s high-risk approach, bowling them out for 120 in a convincing win.

Kavya Maran, the CEO and co-owner of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), is a key figure in the Sun Group’s expanding sports and media ventures. She also oversees Sunrisers Eastern Cape in SA20 and has a strong presence in other media enterprises.

Addressing Bumrah’s recovery, MI head coach Mahela Jayawardene admitted that his absence leaves a big void as the team bids for a record sixth IPL title. When Clarke was to select his favourites for IPL 2025, he chose SunRisers Hyderabad, despite admitting that their bowling would be the deciding factor.
