SRH vs RR, IPL 2023: Probable XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, and live streaming details
The fourth match of the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will see the SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) take on the Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Sunday, April 2.
The SunRisers Hyderabad had a miserable season last year when they managed to win only six out of 14 games and finished eighth in the points table. They have named a new captain and will hope for a change in fortunes with that. Aiden Markram will be leading the side and will look to lead by example.
However, SRH will miss Markram's service in the first game and senior pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar will lead the side. They have put a decent squad for the upcoming edition and it will be interesting to see how far they go.
The Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, were the finalists of IPL 2022. They won nine league games and qualified for the playoffs. They had an outstanding season last year but failed to go all the way.
They will hope to take it one step further and lift the title this year. Sanju Samson will continue to lead the side and they have one of the most balanced sides in the competition. They will be keen to start the tournament on a winning note.
