SRH Vs RR Preview : Rajasthan Royals has a terrific batsman Jos Buttler and under his guidance others may also play well, they have an excellent middle order batsman as Ben Stokes. Rajasthan Royals needs a little team effort and motivation to be at the top. Comparing them with Sunrisers Hyderabad would probably be based on the previous records and updates from the auction. Let’s start comparing them on different perspectives.
Head to Head Matches
In 7 matches Sunrisers Hyderabad have won 3 times and on the other hand, Rajasthan Royals got victory only 4 times, so it can be observed as Sunrisers Hyderabad and MI both have balanced confidence during battle and the previous record may going to help them.
Key Bowlers
In Rajasthan Royals, good bowlers are in fewer numbers like they have only Jofra Archer, he is in good form and all-rounder also. While in Sunrisers Hyderabad we have Rashid Khan and Bhuvenshwar Kumar who have praiseworthy records that can aid them in getting good wickets.
Less number of good bowlers in Rajasthan Royals can be boon for SunRisers Hyderabad.
Highest Run Getter
In Rajasthan Royals, we have a list of hitting batsman that can play exceptionally well in every situation like Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, and Ajinkya Rahane can be the highest run-getter, and Sanju Samson can also be the trump card of MI who can shift matches to his side. Hyderabad we have David Warner as the run-getter who scored more than 25k runs in 59 innings, most sixes hit by him. Sunrisers Hyderabad has balanced batsman that can lead to the last over. But Sunrisers Hyderabad needs to form a good strategy to tackle the top and middle order batsman in Rajasthan Royals because they are a hard hitter and are going to stay till last over.
Catches
Rajasthan Royals has good team players and in matches, they took fine catches and showed enthusiasm in the field, they have good fielders as Ben, Rahane Jos they can field exceptionally well. In Hyderabad we have the same fielding strength as MI.
Wicket Keeping
In Rajasthan Royals, we have Sanju Samson or maybe Rahane can do a good wicket keeping but in Sunrisers Hyderabad we have Wriddhiman Shah. Both have equal potential in wicket keeping. But the cricket is a game of uncertainty so we cannot exactly claim that.
Man of the Match
Rajasthan Royals has Jaydev Unadkat and Jos Buttler who can be the trump card of the team, they are middle order batsman and has the caliber to stay on the match till last, they can also bag away from the title of man of the match. While in Hyderabad we have also a fine player like who can leave no stone unturned in winning the situations. But if Jos Buttler gets in his original form of hitting sixes then no one can stop him from getting Man of the match and sure Sunrisers Hyderabad have to form any strategy to impede him.
Conclusion
This is 2019 and considering old data analysis and updated auction players we may say that Sunrisers Hyderabad would win against Rajasthan Royals, the reason being lack of skillful bowlers in Rajasthan Royals and too much dependency on main players. While Sunrisers Hyderabad looks balanced if compared to Rajasthan Royals.
