SRH vs RR Dream11 Prediction, IPL Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI Updates Pitch Report, Injury Updates for Today’s IPL Match
Inconsency has been Rajasthan Royals‘ bane and the Sanju Samson-led team would like to change in their season opener against Kane Williamson’s Sunrisers Hyderabad on Tuesday. Rajasthan will be in search of their first title since the inaugural edition win in 2008.
It will be interesting to see, who will open the batting for the Jaipur-based side along with Jos Buttler. They have bought Devdutt Padikkal for a whopping Rs 7.75 crores and at the same time had retained another southpaw Yashasvi Jaiswal.
A rampaging Buttler can tear into any bowling attack and if he and the stylish Padikkal or Jaiswal can get off to flying starts, the Royals would be well served with the likes of Samson and the others to follow.
Royals have an array of players like power-hitter Shimron Hetmyer, Rassie Van der Dussen, Jimmy Neesham and Riyan Parag to pick for the middle order and their contribution could well determine the team’s fortunes.
For SRH, the experience of captain Kane Williamson, probably the best batter in the squad, would be vital. His contributions with the willow and as a leader could go a long way in determining the team’s fortunes.
Williamson’s compatriot Glenn Phillips can open the batting while hard-hitting West Indian Nicholas Pooran, Priyam Garg and Rahul Tripathi would be expected to shoulder responsibility in the middle order.
Left-arm pacer T Natarajan, on a comeback trail, will be hoping to get his yorkers right as he aims to work his way back into national team contention. Washington Sundar, another T20 special, can play a key role for the Sunrisers.
