As soon as the toss was tossed in the second match of IPL 2025, Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad announced their respective playing XI or simply to say the Starting XI. Rajasthan captain Ryan Parag won the toss and decided to bowl first. This means that Sunrisers Hyderabad team will bat first. After the toss, both the captains told about their team. Ryan Parag said that Sanju will be in the role of Samson Impact Player.

This is the first match of the two teams in the 18th season of IPL, in which the reins of SRH captaincy are in the hands of Pat Kamis as before. At the same time, Ryan is handling the command of Rajasthan. Actually, Rajasthan's regular captain Sanju Samson has not been able to overcome his finger injury completely yet. He will not be captain in the first 3 matches, but as a player, he will give his services to the team in batting.
