Sunrisers Hyderabad’s performance in the IPL 2025 season has been under scrutiny as they struggle to replicate their success from the previous season. The team’s inability to secure wins away from home has been a major factor in their current position at the bottom of the points table. Head coach Daniel Vettori acknowledged that the team has struggled to adapt to different playing conditions, particularly on slower surfaces like the one at the Wankhede Stadium.
During a recent match at the Wankhede Stadium, the Sunrisers faced difficulties on a sticky pitch that favored the Mumbai Indians’ pacers, including Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult. Despite having a strong batting line-up, the Sunrisers found it challenging to score runs against the disciplined bowling attack. Vettori expressed his frustration at the team’s inability to perform on such surfaces that restrict their aggressive style of play.
While Vettori acknowledged the element of luck involved in encountering unfavorable pitches, he emphasized the need for the team to adapt and find ways to succeed in challenging conditions. As the IPL season progresses, the Sunrisers will need to address their weaknesses and make strategic adjustments to improve their performance on different surfaces. With half of the season still remaining, the Sunrisers have time to turn their fortunes around and make a strong comeback in the tournament.
