SRH vs LSG, IPL 2025 Update: The IPL 2025 match between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) was full of thrilling moments. Despite SRH setting a strong target, LSG bowlers stepped up to the challenge, with one name grabbing the spotlight—Prince Yadav. The young pacer stunned everyone by dismissing Travis Head, one of IPL 2025’s most destructive openers.
LSG’s Bold Decision and Early Wickets
Winning the toss, LSG opted to bowl first, taking a bold risk against SRH’s aggressive batting lineup. Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head began their usual attacking approach. However, Shardul Thakur turned the game around in the third over, dismissing Abhishek Sharma with a short-pitched delivery. Nicholas Pooran took an easy catch at the boundary. On the very next ball, Ishan Kishan was caught behind for a golden duck, leaving SRH in early trouble.
Travis Head’s Fiery Knock Ends with Prince Yadav’s Magic
Despite early wickets, Travis Head kept SRH’s momentum alive, smashing 47 runs off 28 balls with five fours and three sixes. His explosive innings was a major concern for LSG, especially after two dropped catches. SRH owner Kavya Maran was visibly relieved as Head continued his destructive batting.
However, Prince Yadav had other plans. The young pacer was introduced into the attack in the 8th over, and he immediately made an impact. Delivering a well-placed yorker-length ball, he clean-bowled Travis Head, breaking the dangerous partnership and reducing SRH to 76/3.
