Pat Cummins wins toss, Sunrisers bat first; fans expect fireworks from ‘Travishek’ while DC hope KL Rahul steadies their top order.
Subhead:
In Match 10 of IPL 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and chose to bat first against Delhi Capitals at the ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam. A strong crowd welcomed the return of big names and the debut of KL Rahul for DC in what promises to be another high-octane encounter.
🔥 Eyes On TRAVISHEK, Rahul’s Return
Explosive openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, dubbed “Travishek”, will kick off proceedings for SRH — a duo that has already lit up IPL 2025 with their aggressive approach.
Delhi will look to Mitchell Starc for early breakthroughs, and captain Axar Patel hinted at using death-bowling strategies right from the start to contain SRH’s batters.

Meanwhile, KL Rahul’s inclusion strengthens DC’s middle-order, replacing Sameer Rizvi, as DC aim to avoid another top-order collapse like the one against LSG.
🧨 Who Is Aniket Verma?
SRH’s latest firecracker, Aniket Verma, shocked fans in their last match by smashing 36 off just 13 balls — including 5 sixes — lifting SRH to a strong finish. A rising talent from Madhya Pradesh, Aniket’s fearless hitting style has earned him comparisons to T20 legends. In fact, his nickname from the MPPL days: “Get up – hit sixes – repeat” says it all.
