Hyderabad, April 1: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will host Rajasthan Royals (RR) in match 4 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad on Sunday (April 2).

Sunrisers will be led by Bhuvneshwar Kumar as the veteran pacer stands in for Aiden Markram, who is on international duty, while Sanju Samson will lead last season's finalists Rajasthan Royals.

Apart from Markram, SRH will be without the services of his compatriots Marco Jansen and Heinrich Klaasen. The trio will, however, be available for the Sunrisers' second outing in IPL 2023. They also have new players that can easily fill in the void.

Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, will have their whole squad available for selection with Jos Buttler, getting his compatriot Joe Root for company. The other overseas player are also available for selection.

This will be the 17th meeting between the two sides in IPL. This will also be only the fourth meeting between SRH and RR at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad.
