Here's how to watch the second match of the IPL 2025 between the Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Rajasthan Royals. The Royals have won the toss and opted to bowl and the match is about to start.
The highly anticipated match takes place at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Sunday, March 23. Note all the how-to-watch information below will also work to watch the second game on Sunday between the Chennai Super Kings and the Mumbai Indians.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad will be looking to go one better than last year in the tournament when they lost the final to the Kolkata Knight Riders. Aussie star Pat Cummins again leads the team and they again have a very strong squad including Mohammed Shami, Heinrich Klaasen, Travis Head and Adam Zampa. It's not surprising then that the Sunrisers are one of the favorites to win this year's tournament.
The Rajasthan Royals will be looking for revenge after the Sunrisers eliminated them from last year’s competition in the Qualifier 2. But in a big blow their captain, Indian star Sanju Samson is reportedly out of the first three matches due to injury and Riyan Parag will instead captain. They have their own stars, though, including devilishly difficult-to-face Sri Lankan spinner Maheesh Theekshana, widely regarded as one of the world’s best T20 players.
The IPL has got off to an exciting start with Virat Kohli hitting 59 to help the Royal Challengers Bengaluru beat the defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders in the first match of the competition.
