Sunrisers Hyderabad have defeated Rajasthan Royals by 44 runs here. It has been an absolute run fest at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here and the runners-up of the last year has come out on top and deservedly so, after that sensational effort in the first match. Ishan Kishan blazed his way to a terrific 106-run knock off 47 deliveries, a knock where he hit 11 fours and six sixes and Travis Head also smashed 67 off 31 balls. There were cameos from Heinrich Klaasen (34 off 14) and Nitish Reddy (30 off 15) as Sunrisers Hyderabad finished with 286/6, the second-highest IPL total. Chasing 287 to win was always going to be a tough ask but Rajasthan Royals did not give up. Despite losing three wickets inside the powerplay, fifties from Sanju Samson (66) and Dhruv Jurel (70) ensured that the inaugural champs were in the hunt but in the end, there were just too many runs to get for them. Sunrisers Hyderabad had an impressive bowling effort with Simarjeet Singh taking two wickets. Harshal Patel got two wickets while Mohammed Shami and Adam Zampa got one wicket each. Rajasthan Royals next face Kolkata Knight Riders on March 26 while Sunrisers Hyderabad take on Lucknow Super Giants on March 27.

Sunrisers Hyderabad are the runner-up of the previous edition of the IPL and they boast of a very strong and explosive batting lineup. Last season, the opening pair of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma troubled the bowlers and they will return once again with the threat of batting the opposition out.

Rajasthan Royals on the other hand have lost a bit of their set lineup with Jos Buttler, Ravichandran Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal and Trent Boult being the biggest of losses. They have a new bowling attack in the form of Jofra Archer, Maheesh Theekshana, Wanindu Hasaranga and Tushar Deshpande. Nitish Rana is another Indian batter who has replaced overseas Buttler in the playing XI. This means RR has a top 5 of Indian batters and they can use their overseas resources in the bowling. Given how intimidating the SRH batting can be, RR will need their bowling resources to fire full cylinders to contain them.
