In a significant IPL 2025 encounter, Sunrisers Hyderabad have registered a memorable victory against Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk Stadium, with young talent Nitish Kumar Reddy delivering a standout performance for the visiting team.
The Hyderabad franchise celebrated their triumph by sharing a photo of Nitish Kumar Reddy on Instagram with the caption “Onwards and upwards 🔥” along with hashtags referencing the match and their team slogan “Play With Fire.” The image shows Reddy in the SRH orange jersey, clearly one of the key contributors to their success in this crucial encounter.
Historic Victory At CSK’s Fortress
This win marks a significant achievement for Sunrisers Hyderabad, as they’ve made history at Chepauk Stadium, traditionally considered Chennai Super Kings’ fortress in the IPL. SRH’s official Instagram account emphasized this milestone in one of their recent posts with the caption: “History made at Chepauk 🧡.”
Another post from the team’s social media declared, “Chepauk lo win ante, MASSS… ooora MASSS 🔥🧡” (which translates to “Winning at Chepauk means MASS… complete MASS” in Telugu), highlighting how significant this victory is for the franchise.
Team Effort Leads To Triumph
While Nitish Kumar Reddy’s contribution has been highlighted, the win was clearly a comprehensive team effort. SRH’s bowling unit set up the victory with a disciplined performance, as indicated by their social media post stating, “Solid display with the ball. Over to the batters now 💪.”
Kamindu Mendis emerged as another standout performer for Sunrisers. The team shared his spectacular fielding effort with the caption, “In full display ✨,” while another post specifically praised his bowling prowess with a Telugu phrase “𝐒𝐞mani ee bowled prema lekhane… ⚡” (which roughly translates to “What a lovely bowling display”).
Captain Pat Cummins led from the front in Chennai, with SRH sharing a picture of him with the caption “Vanakkam from the CaPATain 🧡🫡” – a clever play on his name and the Tamil greeting, showing respect to the local culture while celebrating their captain’s performance.
Passion And Determination
The victory wasn’t just about skill but also about determination. Jaydev Unadkat’s passion was particularly highlighted in a post captioned “If the word ‘passion’ was an image 🫶,” showing the veteran pacer’s emotional celebration during the match.
Mohammad Shami, another experienced campaigner, also made valuable contributions, with SRH acknowledging his impact through a simple but effective post captioned “S-H-A-M-☝.”
The team’s collective mindset was perhaps best captured in their post captioned “Not stopping here 💪,” indicating that while this win at Chepauk is significant, Sunrisers Hyderabad have bigger ambitions for IPL 2025.
Sunrisers Hyderabad: A Brief Background
Sunrisers Hyderabad entered the IPL in 2013 after the termination of Deccan Chargers. Despite being relatively new compared to some franchises, they quickly established themselves by winning the IPL title in 2016 under David Warner’s captaincy. The franchise is owned by Sun TV Network and has been known for its strong bowling attacks over the years.
Their team culture revolves around their slogan “Play With Fire,” reflecting their aggressive approach to the game. The orange army, as their fans are known, has seen several international stars represent them over the years, including Kane Williamson, Rashid Khan, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
Looking Ahead
This victory at Chepauk provides Sunrisers Hyderabad with valuable momentum as they progress through IPL 2025. With young talents like Nitish Kumar Reddy stepping up alongside experienced international stars like Pat Cummins, the team appears well-positioned to challenge for playoff spots.
The “Onwards and upwards” caption accompanying Reddy’s image perfectly encapsulates the team’s mindset – celebrating this significant win while remaining focused on the challenges ahead in the tournament.
As SRH continues their IPL 2025 campaign, fans will be watching closely to see if they can build on this historic win at Chepauk and translate it into consistent performances that could potentially lead to another title run for the orange army.
