Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium will host the IPL 2025 game between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants on March 27. It is the second home match of the season for SRH, who crushed Rajasthan Royals in their previous outing.
SRH decimated LSG the last time these two teams met in Hyderabad. The defeat was so embarrassing that LSG owner Sanjeev Goenka lashed out at his team's captain KL Rahul immediately after the game ended.
LSG will be out for revenge when they take the field under new captain Rishabh Pant. Before the contest starts, here's a look at the pitch history of the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium.
