RR vs SRH Dream11 Captain and Vice-captain: This is that stage in the season when every game carries more stakes than the usual two points. The wager goes to even higher zones when two rivals aiming for the same spot and target run into each other. This is one such matchup as both Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad are looking to make one last push for the playoff spots. As things stand, only two points separate SRH and RR leading up to this match with the latter sitting above, at sixth.
Motivation should not be an issue for either team but the Royals may feel more inclined to give their all in this match, as they could force their way into the top-four with the maximum return from this game. But that’s the reason why SRH can’t allow their direct rivals a win, for it could push them to the very brink of elimination. Warner and Co have to win this match. This is CSK vs RR Dream11 Teams Prediction.
Big Picks:
Jos Butler: There’s a debate going on about where RR should use their ost destructive batsman, but he is such quality that, irrespective of the batting order he gets, he is always a threat. The last game was a perfect example of how good he is. If CSK had even the slightest of hopes of defending the meagre 125 total, Butler soon killed them as soon as he came to bat, erupting for 70 runs off just 48 balls. He is too hot to ignore in RR vs SRH Dream11 Match Prediction.

Total Runs: 1648
Highest Score: 95*
Strike-Rate: 149.68
Steve Smith: Once again he played a captain’s inning against CSK. He kept hold of one end when wickets tumbled earlier in the inning and didn’t carry away when Butler was destroying CSK’s bowlers at the other end. He can be too hot to handle and should not be ignored at all.
IPL Record:
Matches: 91
Total Runs: 2268
Highest Score: 101
Strike-Rate: 130.04
David Warner: Was a quality despite playing in the middle-order in the last game. The left-handed Australian batsman scored a quickfire 47 off just 33 balls and forced a super over, which SRH lost eventually. Warner could come into open the inning here.
IPL Record:
Matches: 135
Total Runs: 5037
Highest Score: 126
Strike-Rate: 141.05
Ben Stokes: Cut loose in the first few overs, and gave Rajasthan a perfect start against Chennai Super Kings. Stokes hasn’t had his way in this season’s IPL but we all know that he is perhaps the best all-rounder in the world at the moment. He can erupt with something special here. Don’t count him out.

Jofra Archer: Rajasthan Royals may be propping up the table but he is one of the few players in this team who have been flawless, hitting their usual lofty levels. The Englishman is the highest wicket-taker for the 2008 IPL champions and will be a key figure going into this match. He is too good to ignore in RR vs SRH Today Match Prediction grand league teams.
IPL Record:
Matches: 30
Wickets: 38
Strike-Rate: 18.55
Rashid Khan: Sunrisers Hyderabad’s most consistent bowler. Rashid is one of the few spinners in the world who are hard to hit. The young Afghanistani leggie can be considered as a safe bet in any IPL game.
