Sunrisers Hyderabad, after setting up a well-balanced team in the auction, is ready to face the finalist of the last IPL, Rajasthan Royals, in their first game of this IPL edition. SRH looks too good with a staunch Indian player base, along with Aiden Markram as the skipper. On the other side, Sanju Samson is eager to again prove his mettle as the skipper.
Date: 2/4/2023
Time: 3.30 PM IST
Venue: Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad
A very good batting track is expected, which usually aids the pacers with the new ball and the spinners in the middle.
The team which will get to chase will have an advantage of fighting the known target. Since both RR and SRH have top quality spin duos R Ashwin- Y Chahal and A Rashid, W Sundar, it makes it even more interesting to see how the batters are going to tackle the bowlers.
Mayank Agarwal, Abhishek Sharma, Rahul Tripathi, Harry Brook, Upendra Yadav, Washington Sundar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan, Umran Malik, Adil Rashid, Karthik Tyagi
Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, Devdutt Padikkal, Shimron Hetmyer, Riyan Parag, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Sen, Obed McCoy
R Tripathi will be the key player for this game. His ability to score runs with ease and his home conditions makes him the strong contender for the captain.
The current sensation Harry Brook is in terrific form right now. He is someone who can make the best out of him when he is given the big stage.
Mayank Agarwal will enjoy the conditions of Hyderabad. Also, he has scored well in the inter squad practice games.
These two gems don’t need any explanations. Both are match winners. Especially J Buttler who is the orange cap holder of the last IPL.
T Natrajan’s death-over bowling and U Malik’s fiery speed are both wicket prone. When done right, they both are economical too.
Y Chahal is the genuine wicket picker from both the sides. The loop he used to provide tempts the batters to go hard at him.
Jos Buttler scored 4 centuries in the last season, equaling Virat Kohli’s 2016 feat of most triple-digit scores in a single IPL season.
In addition to an IPL hattrick last year, Yuzvendra Chahal made it to a rare list of picking 4 wickets in a single over in any T20 game.
