SRH playing 11: It’s time for match 5 of Tata IPL 2022 and the two teams colliding in this encounter will be Kane Williamson’s Sunrisers Hyderabad and Sanju Samson’s Rajasthan Royals. The Royals and Sunrisers are the only two teams left to play in this edition and they will be colliding on Tuesday night.
Sunrisers Hyderabad has made the inroads during the auctions and strengthened their batting unit which was a failure in the last season. With the likes of Aiden Markram, Glenn Phillips, and Nicholas Pooran, they have got the basics covered in the overseas department when it comes to batting. However, just like the last two seasons, they don’t possess experience in the Indian batting contingent. Only Rahul Tripathi looks to be a well-equipped Indian batter and is expected to open the innings, but the middle order is fringe, fragile, and inexperienced yet again. How will they shape up in their opening match against Rajasthan Royals, let’s check out.
