Kavya Maran Optimistic about Sunrisers Hyderabad's IPL 2025 play -off chances, says 'even if there's a 1% chance ...' | Mint

To say it was a disastrous Indian Premier League campaign for the Sunrisers Hyderabad is an underestimation. The Hyderabad franchise is currently in 9th place in the IPL standings with 6 points out of their 9 matches. And with IPL 2025 on the way to the business, a chance for a play -off match is anything but unreachable for the 2016 IPL champions, with 5 games remaining. However, owner Kavya Maran does not give up the dream. IPL 2025 Playoff chances in a post on X, Maran wrote: ‘Even if there is 1% chance. Chances are good enough. Let’s look. ‘ This was in response to another post that set out the chances of setting out the IPL 2025 play -off matches for each team. The original post, made by user @mufaddal_vohra, listed the play -off chances of each team as follows: RCB – 91%. GT – 79%. DC – 76%. MI – 65%. PBKS – 60%. LSG – 21%. KKR – 6%. SRH – 2%. RR ~ 0.2%. CSK ~ 0.04% as can be seen above, the chances of SRH be up to the play -offs, a small 0.2%. However, the owner of the team is optimistic despite the ominous signs. The Maldive in the mid-season breaks after winning a comfortable 5-wicket win against CSK on April 25, and the entire SRH contingent got away to the Maldives. The team is in the tropical paradise for a ‘retreat’ halfway through the IPL 2025 season, as the players and staff want to rejuvenate before the last few games in IPL 2025. SRH was able to enjoy themselves with a holiday because they have a week-long break before their next game. They then play the Gujarat Titans at Narendra Modi Stadium, in Ahmedabad, on May 2. Stay up to date with all the actions from the IPL 2025. Look at the IPL 2025 schedule, follow the latest IPL 2025 points table and follow the top performers with the orange cap and purple cap.
