SRH to face RR Today: Playing11, head to head, injury update, and more

By Sanjay Maurya

On March 29, Sunrisers Hyderabad will face Rajasthan Royals in the fifth match of IPL 2022. Sunrisers Hyderabad must forget what happened last year when they were pushed to the bottom of the table. Despite the shocking retention of young guns Umran Malik and Abdul Samad, the team’s most experienced player, Kane Williamson, will captain this year. They bought most of the Indian domestic players in the auction, which is very remarkable.

Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, completely revamped their team for this year. In the past, there was concern about their bowling department and that is why they have spent more money on bowlers at the auction table. Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal, the spin tandem, can help them a lot in this edition. Choosing the openers is a bit of a headache for captain Samson. Either Yashasvi Jaiswal or DevduttPadikkal will open with Jos Buttler.

Pitch Report
The pitch in Pune aids batters and provides value for shots. With dew as a factor, chasing has been the preferred strategy. However, new ball bowlers have enjoyed success in the past, and that may happen again on a fresh surface.

Injury Update
Sean Abbott, an Australian seamer, will miss the first three games of the Tata IPL 2022 for Sunrisers Hyderabad.
