Two successive defeats, one at home and the other in Chennai, has put a spanner in Sunrisers Hyderabad’s wheels. Desperate to get back to winning ways, SRH face table toppers Rajasthan Royals at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Thursday. The two setbacks have pushed the Pat Cummins-led team from third to fifth on the points table.
All was going well for SRH till they hit a roadblock against Royal Challengers Bengaluru and then collapsed against Chennai Super Kings. The SRH batting seems to revolve around the attacking top-order trio of Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen. Once these three batters fall, SRH lose momentum. There has been debate about SRH continuing their aggressive batting style. This season, they have wobbled while chasing the targets.
