SRH vs RR: Sunrisers Hyderabad will be squaring off with the Rajasthan Royals in the 5th match of Indian Premier League on 29th March at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune.
Sunrisers Hyderabad have had a horrible campaign in the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League. They would look to turn things around this year under the captaincy of Kane Williamson. They retained the skipper Kane, Abdul Samad, and uncapped quick bowler Umran Malik and signed some of the key players namely Nicholas Pooran, Washington Sundar, and Sean Abbott.
On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals led by wicket-keeper batter Sanju Samson will be heading into this contest with one of the best spin attacks from Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal. They will be a bit confused with their openers as they combination of Jos Buttler, Devdutt Padikkal, and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
However, both teams have a very well-balanced squad with a few notable overseas players hoping to get their sides off to a positive start.
