Former India player Aakash Chopra has opined that the SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) are unlikely to see too many personnel changes after IPL 202 as well. He also added that SRH have a good squad, but they need to perform well.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel ‘Aakash Chopra’, he said, “It’s an interesting franchise. If they want to do something different next year because they got eliminated early this year, when you look towards Chennai and Rajasthan, you say the changes are palpable, weaknesses are not seen in this team as such. Why would you let anyone go in the batting order?”

“They will hope that everyone comes together somehow and does well. I don’t see much change in this team’s composition next year. In this match also, their focus would be to try and give fans what they want and to play to their potential. If you are a good player, you also need to look good. What’s the point of just being good?” he further added.

However, Aakash Chopra also stated that he will keenly follow Mohammad Shami’s performance in SRH’s IPL 2025 match against LSG, if he is part of the playing XI

“In bowling, I will watch Mohammad Shami very attentively. This season has gone, but he will like this pitch. You want to associate rhythm with him consistently and quickly because he will be in the Indian Test team. So the ball needs to come out nicely from his hand, and pitch and move,” he added

“Harshal Patel is bowling well. Jaydev Unadkat has bowled decently. Zeeshan Ansari is the only spinner playing. They have played Rahul Chahar one or two matches only, and Adam Zampa isn’t there. So there is not much scope or expectation of too many changes,” Chopra concluded.
