4 Team News
SRH: Sunrisers would want to forget a forgettable IPL 2021, when they finished as the 8th placed team. They have overhauled the side centring around captain Kane Williamson. They would expect some big things from West Indian Nicholas Pooran and their Indian youngsters like Rahul Tripathi, Abdul Samad, Umran Malik, etc.
RR: Under Sanju Samson, they have a strong and balanced squad, perhaps the best among the 10 teams on paper. The Royals would like to see that translate into on-field performances, and will be eager to make a statement performance against the Hyderabad side. That their players are available from the first match itself is a blessing for them in terms of strategy.
5 Match Prediction
On the paper, Rajasthan has a stronger and balanced squad and they will start as favourites.
