Many expected SRH to reach the playoffs in IPL 2025. However, that did not happen. Of course, many issues were there in the auctions. However, some decisions were not great in the campaign, as well. Here, we take a look at the list of three major mistakes by SRH in IPL 2025.
1) Persisting with Ishan Kishan at No.3
Ishan Kishan failed after his first match at No.3. Yet, SRH persisted with him at this slot. Ishan could have been tried at No.4, a role in which he has done well before for the Mumbai Indians. Nitish Reddy could have been used at No.3.
2) Not using Rahul Chahar much is one of the mistakes by SRH in IPL 2025
Rahul Chahar was in good form in IPL 2024. He is also an experienced cricketer now. It was shocking that SRH hardly used a player like him. With a few games, he could have gone better if he was rusty at the nets.
3) Not nailing down the overseas combination soon
For the fourth foreigner spot, SRH has used a batter, an all-rounder, a pacer and a spinner. It is clear that the management did not know their best overseas combination. Considering three slots were sure, it was actually pretty easy for the management to back their fourth overseas player.
