The only side yet to get off the mark this season are the SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH). They will get another shot when they lock horns with defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) in Match 9 of IPL 2021 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday (April 17).
MI skipper Rohit Sharma won his first toss this season and opted to bat first on a surface which seems to be a good deck for batting, before aiding spin later in the evening. MI have made one change to the line-up which got the better of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by 10 runs on Tuesday. Kiwi fast bowler Adam Milne makes his MI debut, replacing Marco Jansen.
The five-time IPL champions have three frontline pacers and one spinner in Rahul Chahar in their ranks. Their four overseas picks are Quinton de Kock, Kieron Pollard, Adam Milne and Trent Boult.
In a bid to register their first win of IPL 2021, SRH have made four changes to the side which went down by six runs against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Wednesday. In the batting department, Virat Singh and Abhishek Sharma have come in while spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman and left-arm seamer Khaleel Ahmed will ply their trade on the bowling front.
SRH are going in with two specialist seamers and as many spinners. Their four overseas choices include skipper David Warner, Jonny Bairstow, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Rashid Khan.
