Ahead of this important clash at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, let’s take a look at some of the matches between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals players.
Here are the top 3 player battles to watch in match 50 of IPL 2024, SRH vs RR:
Travis Head vs Trent Boult
Most offensive power play of the T20 era He became one of his two players. Tomorrow, Travis Head will face Trent Boult. Head has started to lose his form with poor performances in the last two matches, but he will be hoping to make a big showing against the quality bowling attack of Rajasthan Royals.
Since IPL 2022, no player has taken more wickets in the powerplay than Trent Boult. The pacer will once again be hoping to give his team early wickets and give his team momentum from the first over. This battle could be decided by Boult if he can eliminate both of his opponent’s leadoff pitchers. It could be a one-sided competition as SRH relies heavily on them.
Sanju Samson vs Pat Cummins
Finally, Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson has been selected in the Indian team for the 2024 T20 World Cup to be held in June. His outstanding performance in the IPL was one of the reasons for his selection and we hope he continues his good form in the upcoming match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The right-handed batsman plays long innings and is sure to do his job for his team.
His main event will be tomorrow in Hyderabad against Australian pacer Pat Cummins. Speedsters have different abilities and want to use them against opposing captains. He has not taken a wicket in the last two matches but will be hoping for a good performance against the league leaders.
Heinrich Claassen vs Yuzvendra Chahal
Aggressive wicketkeeper-batsman Heinrich Claassen will be hoping to get back to his best form against Rajasthan Royals. After an excellent start to the season, the form of South Africa’s batsmen has dipped a bit. He has to have a good game to set up the game perfectly for the franchise.
Klaasen’s biggest battle will be against experienced leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal. After a great season so far, the spinner has finally joined the Indian team for the T20 World Cup. He will try to stop Klaasen by using variations to trouble the batsmen in the upcoming match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
