Rayudu Blasts SRH Bowlers in IPL 2025
SRH bowling struggles again in IPL, and it’s not just fans noticing. Former India cricketer Ambati Rayudu has openly criticized Sunrisers Hyderabad after their fourth straight loss in IPL 2025.
Rayudu didn’t hold back. He said SRH bowling struggles again in IPL mainly because they lack wicket-takers in the crucial middle overs. While SRH started the season on a high with a dominant win over Rajasthan Royals, they’ve spiraled quickly—losing four in a row and slipping to the bottom of the points table.
“You can’t win the IPL with mediocre bowling,” Rayudu declared on ESPNcricinfo.

🔥 Rayudu’s Breakdown
According to Rayudu, it’s not the batters who are the big issue—it’s the bowlers.
“They’re just defensive. They aren’t looking to take wickets,” he said.
Despite boasting names like Pat Cummins, Mohammed Shami, and Adam Zampa, the Sunrisers’ bowling attack has failed to pressure the opposition. In contrast, teams like Gujarat Titans have aced the middle overs with bowlers like Rashid Khan and Sai Kishore doing the damage.
🟡 What Happened Against Gujarat?
In Sunday’s match, GT chased down 153 with ease. Mohammed Siraj was on fire, taking 4 wickets for 17 runs. Gill’s unbeaten 61 off 43 balls made the chase look like a breeze. Even Washington Sundar’s 49 couldn’t save the Sunrisers.
✅ What SRH Must Do Now
SRH needs a serious rethink—especially in the bowling department. Their current defensive mindset simply won’t win games.
