In the SRH vs RR 50 Match Top 3 player battles to watch out for Indian Premier League 2024, Sunrisers Hyderabad would be hosting table-toppers Rajasthan Royals. Both teams currently occupy the qualification spots in the points table and would be looking to solidify their spot in the next round with a win in tomorrow’s game at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

A win tomorrow for the Rajasthan Royals will ensure that they become the first team to qualify for the play-offs. Meanwhile, victory for the Sunrisers Hyderabad will take them up to 12 points but would need two more wins at least to secure a top four spot in this edition of the Indian Premier League.

Ahead of this crucial clash at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, let’s take a look at some of the player battles between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals.

Here are the top three player battles to watch out for in SRH vs RR, Match 50 of IPL 2024:

3. Travis Head vs Trent Boult 

Two of the most aggressive powerplay players of the T20 era will be going head-to-head against one another tomorrow as Travis Head would take on Trent Boult. Head has slowly been losing form with poor performances in the past two games but would be hoping to make it a big one against the quality bowling attack of Rajasthan Royals.

No player has taken more wickets inside the powerplay since IPL 2022 than Trent Boult. The pacer would be hoping to deliver the early wickets once again for the side and put the momentum with the franchise right from the first over. This battle can decide the outcome of the match if Boult can remove both the opposition openers. It could turn out to be a one-sided contest since SRH relies heavily on them.

Finally, Rajasthan Royals’ skipper Sanju Samson has made the Indian team for the T20 World Cup 2024 in June. His stellar form in the IPL has been one of the reasons for his selection and would be hoping to continue his good run in their upcoming match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The right-handed batter has been playing long innings and makes sure to get the job done for his franchise.

His main battle would be against Australian pacer Pat Cummins tomorrow in Hyderabad. The speedster has a lot of variations in his skill-set and might be hoping to bring them into play against the opposition skipper. He has been wicketless in the past two games but would be hoping for a good game against the table-toppers.

1. Heinrich Klaasen vs Yuzvendra Chahal 

The aggressive wicketkeeper-batter Heinrich Klaasen would be looking to get back to his best against the Rajasthan Royals. After a great start to the campaign, the form has dipped for the South African batter. He needs to have a good game in order to set up the match perfectly for his franchise.

Klaasen’s main battle would be up against experienced leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal. The spinner finally got into the Indian team for the T20 World Cup after having a great season so far. He would be looking to stop Klaasen in the upcoming game at the Rajiv Gandhi International stadium in Hyderabad by using his variations to trouble the batter.
