Can SRH Still Qualify For Playoffs In IPL 2025: The runners-up of last season, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), are having an underwhelming IPL 2025 season.

Despite having retained their core from the side that reached the final in IPL 2024 in a marauding style, SRH, especially their batsmen, have failed to deliver on the expectations after their blockbuster win in their first game.

While SRH started their season with a thunderous 44-run win over Rajasthan Royals after piling up 286, courtesy of Ishan Kishan’s blistering century, they suffered a host of defeats, both while chasing and batting first.

Last season, they had been too dependent on their dangerous trio of Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Heinrich Klaasen. The trio have fared only decently this season, but they have been far from the levels they were at last season.

Kishan, too, failed to produce anything of note after a century on SRH debut, while Nitish Kumar Reddy and Aniket Verma have been proven to be a bit too inexperienced.

On the bowling front as well, SRH have not landed killer blows. Mohammed Shami is having a forgettable time, while Harshal Patel and Pat Cummins have lacked consistency and potency.

After winning their opening game of the season, SRH lost four matches in a row. They then won two of their next five games. Their latest loss came against the Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad, where they lost by 38 runs while chasing 225.

Are SRH out of the IPL 2025 playoffs race?

No. SRH, who have 6 points in 10 games with a net run rate of -1.192, are still mathematically alive in the playoffs race.

Can SRH Still Qualify For Playoffs In IPL 2025?

Yes, SRH can still qualify for the playoffs in IPL 2025. For that, they would have to win the remaining four games to finish on 14 points; they will have to hope for other results to go their way so that they could be fighting for the fourth spot with 14 points; and they will have to win with big margins to improve their NRR as multiple teams could finish with 14 points.

After the loss against GT, Pat Cummins cut a disappointing figure, perhaps already accepting the fate of his team, whose chances of reaching the playoffs are approaching nil, already pondering over next season. Cummins said, “We can cling on to some hope. Big auction last year. The core of the group will be there for three years. So, lots to play for.”
