Do You Know 'Naatu'? SRH drops Electrifying Naatu Rendition Ahead of MI Clash

Last Season's runner-ups and former champions, Sunrisers Hyderabad are targetting the right pulse this season with their creative social media drops.

Right from before the commencement of the 2025 IPL season, the online team of Hyderabad-based franchise were on point with their approach. Using Telugu hits in welcome videos of star players to giving catchy movie-nicknames to players, they are striking all the right chords.

Ahead of their clash with the mighty Mumbai Indians today evening at the Wankhede, Sunrisers dropped another special video rendering the Oscar winning 'Naatu Naatu' from the movie 'RRR'.

The video just like the dance number in the movie, as all the elements - from leg movements to cinematic dust effects, it has it all.

Watch:

SRH fans brought their best witty words to respond to the creative. "Thongi thongi nakki nakki kaade... Thokkukuntu povaale. Edhurochchinodini esukuntu povaali #goorangearmy🧡," a fan commented with a popular dialogue from RRR.

While another commented, "Naatu naatu vokay kani eroju chetlu naate program mathram plan cheyyoddhu. Stick to being mental na kodukulu 💥 (Naatu Naatu is fine but don't plan tree planting (low scoring) program today)."

Nearing the halfway mark of the tournament, the Sunrisers are struggling to find their range, tottering at ninth on the table with only net run rate separating it from Mumbai, after four losses and two wins in six matches each. MI has a NRR of +0.10 while SRH's run-rate stands at -1.24.

But MI will have to be wary of SRH's batters who have given signs of finding back their mojo after a lull.

Each of the top four 'Head, Abhishek, Klaasen and Kishan' fired on all cylinders to stun Punjab Kings to give SRH their second win of the season.

Chasing, SRH scored nearly 250 runs to beat PBKS by eight wickets with their batters, especially Abhishek, finding their lost rhythm collectively after the 2016 winners lost four matches on the trot.

Coming off a splendid 55-ball 141, Abhishek will look to draw confidence from his last outing here at the Wankhede Stadium in February this year when he took apart England's bowling to score 135 in the fifth T20I for India.

Kishan too would be eager to make this outing against his former franchise count on what had been his home ground for several seasons.
