SRH vs MI Highlights, IPL 2025: Mumbai Indians beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by seven wickets

Vignesh Puthur to Heinrich Klaasen, SIX! Into the stands! Puthur bowls it almost halfway onto the pitch, spinning in, from middle, Heinrich Klaasen has enough time to rock back and pull it behind deep mid-wicket for a huge six.

Vignesh Puthur comes into the attack now.

Hardik Pandya to Heinrich Klaasen, Just around off, on a hard length, at 132.4 kph, Heinrich Klaasen solidly punches it through cover, but for a solo. A successful over for MI skipper, Hardik Pandya. A wicket and just a couple of singles off it.

Hardik Pandya to Abhinav Manohar, Slower one, outside off, on a good length, Abhinav Manohar waits for it and eases it between cover and point for a quick single. Gets off the mark.

Hardik Pandya to Abhinav Manohar, Pace on, hard length, angling into the body, Abhinav Manohar gets squared up and manages to tap it to the left of the bowler.

Strategic Break! Phew, what a chaotic and gripping passage of play we've witnessed! Mumbai Indians have completely seized control, leaving Sunrisers Hyderabad in deep trouble at 35 for 5. After an early collapse that saw four wickets tumble in no time, it briefly looked like Heinrich Klaasen and Aniket Verma were steadying the ship. But just as things began to settle, bam, another blow, and SRH are back to square one, if not worse. They’re now staring down the barrel, and a tactical move might be in order. An impact substitute, possibly a batter, seems like the only way out to add some resistance. But doing so could weaken their bowling even further, especially with Mohammad Shami not in the original XI. Mumbai Indians have been absolutely ruthless and are showing no signs of easing up. And now, with their back firmly against the wall, SRH make the expected move, Abhinav Manohar comes in as the Impact Substitute, replacing Travis Head. It's a bold call, and perhaps the only card they had left to play.

Hardik Pandya to Aniket Verma, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Half of the SRH side is already in the dugout now, and we aren't even halfway through the first innings. This inning is going nowhere for the home side. Hardik Pandya, with his bag full of variations, bowls a slower ball, into the pitch, short and on top of off. It climbs off the deck, coming above the shoulder height of the batter. Aniket Verma is months early into his pull shot, and it is also a bit too high. Hence, a thick outside edge is found, and the ball spoons behind to the keeper. Ryan Rickelton takes an absolute dolly. Aniket Verma departs on 12 (14) and Sunrisers Hyderabad are laboring badly at 35/5.

Hardik Pandya to Aniket Verma, Sees the batter charging down, Hardik bangs it into the surface, and bowls on the leg stump line, cramping the batter for room. Aniket Verma tries to pull, but has no space to work with, and the ball just drops off his gloves, on the pitch.

Deepak Chahar gets his second, and the troubles for the home team only get bigger and bigger with every passing over. Chahar goes a bit full and on middle and off, Nitish Kumar Reddy shows full face of the bat and looks to loft it straight back over the bowler's head, but hits it to the left of mid on. Mitchell Santner moves across and takes a good catch around his left shoulder.

All the MI players patted Ishan on his helmet for showing great sportsmanship.
