Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will come up against each other in the upcoming 61st match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season on Monday, May 19th. The thrilling contest will take place at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow and is scheduled to start at 7:30 PM IST.

As another promising evening awaits from Lucknow, here are the top three captain and vice-captain choices for LSG vs SRH Match 61 of IPL 2025.

3. Nicholas Pooran

Why Will Nicholas Pooran Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?

Nicholas Pooran may not be in the best of form in the recent games but has consistently gotten starts, suggesting a big innings is due. He scored a magnificent 26-ball 70 against SRH when these two sides met earlier this season. With over 400 runs and at a strike rate of 200.98, Pooran remains one of the tournament's top batters this season. Considering his ability to change the game on its head with his explosive batting and impressive past records (103.50 average and a strike-rate of 217.89) in LSG vs SRH fixtures, he will be a strong captain or vice-captain pick for this game.

2. Ayush Badoni

Why Will Ayush Badoni Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?

Ayush Badoni has been a key performer in Lucknow's middle order. The top three have struggled for big scores in recent games and Badoni has done some real heavy lifting in the middle. In the last five matches, Badoni has been LSG’s top-scorer, amassing 217 runs at an impressive average of 43.4 and a strike rate of 161.9. He has also managed to convert his starts scoring two half-centuries in this period. With his consistent form and the team's reliance on his contributions, Badoni is a top captain or vice-captain choice for this game.

1. Abhishek Sharma

Why Will Abhishek Sharma Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?

Abhishek Sharma is a strong pick for captain or vice-captain in the LSG vs SRH clash. The aggressive left-hander has been SRH’s standout batter, scoring 263 runs in the last five innings at an average of 52.60 and a strike rate of 196.27. His ability to deliver quick, game-changing knocks sets him apart from everyone in SRH camp.
