Rajasthan Royals
The Royals have retained Ajinkya Rahane, Shane Watson, Stuart Binny, Sanju Samson and James Faulkner, the five who played an important role in their success in the previous edition of the cash rich league. Unmukt Chand, the new entry, will open the innings with Ajinkya Rahane. Apart from Watson and Faulkner, the team could play Steven Smith and Tim Southee. However, Brad Hodge is another contender for the playing XI. Abhishek Nayar and Rajat Bhatia are the two capable all-rounders in the team while the spinning duties will remain in the hands of Pravin Tambe. They don't have big Indian stars in their squad.

Sunrisers Hyderabad
The team from Hyderabad had a great auction process. They have retained some of their stars while also managed to bag some famous faces in this format of the game. David Warner and Aaron Finch should play in the opening game and they will form an effective top three with Captain Shikhar Dhawan. Darren Sammy and Dale Steyn should be the other two foreign stars in the playing XI. Ishant Sharma will bowl alongside Steyn while there won't be any changes in the spin department as Amit Mishra and Karan Sharma had an impressive outing in the sixth season of the cash rich league. The presence of Irfan Pathan in the squad also gives Sunrisers Hyderabad a much required balance.

Verdict
I will go with Sunrisers Hyderabad because of their strong bowling unit.
