IPL 2014 Preview: Rajasthan Royals vs. Sunrisers Hyderabad

Rajasthan Royals have peaked at the right time while Hyderabad based franchise is still finding hard to get into the groove. Royals have played as a competitive unit which has helped them in tough situations. The Sunrisers need to play their brand of cricket rather waiting for the things to happen.

RR
Shane Watson is leading from the front and his players have responded to his calls. Ajinkya Rahane, Sanju Samson, Karun Nair, Steve Smith and the captain himself has held the batting together. The likes of Stuart Binny and Rajat Bhatia have been phenomenal in their all-round roles. James Faulkner, Pravin Tambe, Kane Richardson and Tim Southee have bowled impressively. I am pretty happy with the way they have conducted their performances. They don’t have big Indian names but have managed to upset big teams. Credit should be given to the upcoming players and Rahul Dravid, who has inserted a self belief in the squad.
SRH
AB de Villiers took the game away from them that too in a span of few overs. The match against Royal Challengers Bangalore was in their pocket before AB’s explosive batting. This team has abundance of talent but have failed to register regular wins. One of the main reasons is Shikhar Dhawan and his style of captaincy. Let’s accept the fact that he is not a good captain. It’s high time if Darren Sammy is told to lead the side. David Warner and Aaron Finch can break any team’s resistance while the likes of Dhawan, Sammy , Pathan and Naman Ojha are big T20 players. Their bowling is also well equipped with Dale Steyn leading the charge. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Karan Sharma have bowled beautifully so far.
Verdict
I will go with Royals as they got everything with them to register another comfortable victory in this year’s IPL.
