Match Preview: Sunrisers Hyderabad against Rajasthan Royals, IPL 2022, Match 05, SRH vs RR Sunrisers Hyderabad will be trying to turn things around following a disastrous performance in the IPL 2021, in which they came last in their group and won their second trophy after the IPL 2016. The ‘Orange Army’ will begin their campaign on March 29th at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune against the inaugural IPL 2008 champion Rajasthan Royals.
Many people were astonished by Sunrisers Hyderabad’s retentions ahead of the IPL 2022 auction. The Hyderabad franchise has retained three players: New Zealand captain Kane Williamson, youthful all-rounder Abdul Samad, and fiery uncapped bowler Umran Malik.
Hyderabad Sunrisers – Team News
Sunrisers Hyderabad had an outstanding auction, picking up some fantastic young talent and forming a core group for the next years, as seen by their auction plan.
With the exception of Australia fast bowler Sean Abbott, who will be involved in the white-ball series against Pakistan and will miss the first three games for the franchise, they have all of their players available for their opening match of the IPL 2022 against Rajasthan Royals.
Abhishek Sharma, who impressed many last season batting in the same position, is set to start for Sunrisers Hyderabad. At the top, he is anticipated to be teamed with Rahul Tripathi.
Hyderabad Sunrisers Kane Williamson, wicketkeeper Nicholas Pooran, and Aiden Markram are the most likely to start at 3, 4, and 5 positions, respectively. They will be followed by Abdul Samad and Washington Sundar, two all-rounders who will also manage the spin department. While the three fast bowlers in the team are projected to be Marco Jansen, T Natarajan, and Umran Malik.

Rajasthan Royals Team Information
The international series between England and the West Indies has had little effect on the Rajasthan Royals. They keep their first-choice playing XI since they don’t have any Cricket Australia-signed players.
In the forthcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, Sanju Samson is poised to captain Rajasthan Royals (RR) for the second season in a row, as the inaugural winners attempt to improve on their recent success. After three solid retentions and several wonderful signings during the IPL 2022 super auction, the Rajasthan Royals, who placed seventh out of eight teams last season, have rebuilt their roster.
Rajasthan Royals dismissed stars like Jofra Archer and Ben Stokes before of the auction, but kept their successful opening combination of Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal, as well as captain Sanju Samson. The Rajasthan Royals’ top order was sorted with the inclusion of Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Sanju Samson.
The Rajasthan Royals then bolstered their lineup with in-form batsmen like as Devdutt Padikkal, Daryl Mitchell, Rassie Van Der Dussen, Karun Nair, and Shimron Hetmyer.
On paper, their batting seems good, and their bowling appears to be in order, with to the acquisition of Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal, India’s top spin bowling options. Prasidh Krishna and Trent Boult are likely to lead the bowling attack, with Navdeep Saini, James Neesham, and Nathan Coulter-Nile providing backup.
Sanju Samson has performed well under pressure most of the time, although he only won five of the Royals’ 14 games last season. Aside from Shimron Hetmyer, who is in fine form for the West Indies, and to a lesser degree, Kiwi all-rounder James Neesham, the Rajasthan Royals lack that one player who can regularly close games and instil terror in the opposition.
Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Devdutt Padikkal, Sanju Samson (captain/wicketkeeper), Shimron Hetmyer, James Neesham, Riyan Parag, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Prasidh Krishna, Yuzvendra Chahal are the Rajasthan Royals’ probable XI.
