The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) vs Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) is the newest but also one of the most explosive rivalries in the Indian Premier League. Ever since Lucknow began their campaign in 2022, this “Orange vs. Blue” tussle has accelerated from a one-sided affair to a high-scoring tactical war. Although LSG had the measure of their early engagement, SRH’s recent revival under Pat Cummins’ captaincy including a huge ten-wicket win in 2024 has narrowed the gap considerably.
Both teamsare in the middle of rebuilding, even as we look ahead to the 2026 season. Rishabh Pant took over the captaincy reign at LSG in 2025 and, having announced years earlier that, “We’ll continue at the top,” the all-out attack player philosophy at SRH has only intensified, led by a duo of Travis Head (who’d gone from the Test VP in 2023 to the ODI VP in 2025, and now was also the all-format captain) and Abhishek Sharma. In this article we will take a look at the SRH vs LSG head-to-head record, venue-wise stats and the key players analysis.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) Overall Records vs LSG
Until May 2024, it was a source of frustration for SRH. Until that point in time, they had never won a single match against LSG. That the resistance broke once SRH indeed changed track towards a strategy of extreme aggression upfront. SRH, basically taking the game away before the LSG spinners could get into the groove, countered LSG’s strategy of using a spin-heavy middle-overs approach with the ‘Head-Sharma’ opening duo. The teams were 1–1 against one another in the 2025 season, showing that while SRH have found the easy road to winning LSG is still an incredibly disciplined opponent.

Conclusion
The story regarding SRH vs LSG head to head record, is a fast changing one. Lucknow Super Giants stamped its authority with disciplined bowling and steady batting in the initial segment of IPL, but Sunrisers Hyderabad with a more modern approach of high-risk & high-reward has turned the tables in this long-standing rivalry. LSG now leads 4-2 at the end of 2025, but the balance of power is clearly shifting.
And that has led to this matchup being a ‘must watch’ for fans, because the likelihood of 200+ scores and record breaking chases are seemingly endless. We are near to the 2026 IPL so we must wait if Rishabh Pant’s LSG can come back to form from the first half of the year or Pat Cummins’ SRH will keep rampaging forward aggressively to the win.
