How did SRH fare last year?
SRH had an underwhelming season in the IPL 2025, which fell short of expectations, especially considering they were the runners-up in the previous 2024 season. Led by captain Pat Cummins and coached by Daniel Vettori, the team ultimately failed to secure a playoff spot.
SRH finished the league stage in 6th position on the points table. They played 14 matches, managing to secure 6 wins, suffering 7 losses, with one match ending in a no-result, accumulating a total of 13 points.
