The Sunrisers have been superb with the bat, with both Heinrich Klaasen (606 runs) and Abhishek Sharma (563 runs) in the running for the IPL Orange Cap.

Similarly, RR boast a formidable batting lineup, led by teenage prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who has 583 runs to his name. Jofra Archer has been one of the most lethal bowlers in the league with 21 wickets and will be key for Riyan Parag’s youthful side.

SRH vs RR, IPL Eliminator: Toss Update

Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bowl first tonight.

Pat Cummins (SRH): We will bowl first. I think we have played some good cricket of late. We will try to keep our bowling simple and let them play to their strengths. Hinge comes back in. I think we are not bothered about the pressure; it’s a good chasing ground.

Riyan Parag (RR): We also would have bowled first as it’s a good chasing ground. This has been a good ground, as we have chased and defended. I am unfit to play. Even now, we have no other option than to win, I am happy with the team’s performance if we play to our potential. Jaddu comes back in; Dubey is the impact.
