Sunrisers Hyderabad Take a Mid-Season Break in the Maldives
Sunrisers Hyderabad Trade the Pitch for Paradise
The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) surprised fans by announcing a mid-season getaway for their players and staff to the beautiful Maldives. This unexpected trip comes during the ongoing IPL 2025 season, when no matches are scheduled outside of India.
Why the Maldives?
The team’s break is made possible by a gap in their league stage schedule. Their next match is against the league-leading Gujarat Titans in a week, giving the Sunrisers ample time for some well-deserved rest and rejuvenation.
A Team Retreat to Remember
SRH shared a video on Twitter of their arrival in the Maldives, captioned: “Sun, sea, and a team retreat for our Risers in the Maldives!”
The post, accompanied by a picture of the team’s arrival, shows the Sunrisers ready to soak up the sun and enjoy some downtime.
A Hard-Fought Win Before the Break
Before jetting off to paradise, SRH secured a crucial five-wicket victory against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The win, coming after a nail-biting chase, helped the Sunrisers climb to eighth place in the points table, keeping their playoff hopes alive.
Key Moments of the CSK Match
- Harshal Patel starred for SRH with a brilliant four-wicket spell, restricting CSK to 154 runs.
- Young guns Dewald Brevis and Ayush Mhatre shone with quickfire knocks for CSK.
- Ishan Kishan and Kamindu Mendis steered SRH to victory with valuable contributions during the chase.
Onwards and Upwards
With the win against CSK and a refreshing break in the Maldives, SRH will be looking to gather momentum as they head into the remaining matches of the IPL 2025 season.
