Can SRH still make it to the IPL 2025 playoffs?

SRH have not had a great campaign so far this season. They did begin with a solid 44-run victory over the Rajasthan Royals (RR) after scoring 286 runs in the game. It looked as though they picked up from where they left off last season.

However, they faced four consecutive defeats after their opening victory. They lost to the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Delhi Capitals (DC), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), and Gujarat Titans.

SRH did manage to win the next game against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) but lost their next two matches against the Mumbai Indians (MI) before their recent win over CSK.

Hyderabad are in a dire state with just three wins and six defeats from nine matches. With six points, they are placed eighth on the points table. For them to qualify from here, they will have to win all of their remaining five matches, which will take them to 16 points. A single defeat in these five games could potentially put an end to their playoff hopes, leaving them in a do-or-die situation in every game going forward.
