Top five player battles to watch out for in SRH vs RR match No. 50 in IPL 2024

Match No. 50 will be a SRH vs RR clash in the IPL 2024 on Thursday.

It is time for a blockbuster of a match when two batting heavyweights face off against each other in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are all set to take on Rajasthan Royals (RR) at their own stadium, Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, on Thursday (May 2).

Both teams have some incredible batters, and even the pitch in Hyderabad is good for batting, which might result in hard time for the bowlers of both sides. But these two teams have some incredible bowlers as well who are performing pretty well this season. Here we will talk about some exciting battles in the upcoming SRH vs RR clash.

SRH vs RR: Head-to-Head

These two teams have always produced some brilliant games, which is why the head-to-head is very equal. Out of 18 games played between the two teams, both have won nine games each.

SRH vs RR: Top five player battles to watch out for

1. Jos Buttler vs Pat Cummins

The SRH vs RR clash will bring a great battle between two overseas superstars. This will be between Jos Buttler and Pat Cummins. These two have crossed paths many times, and Cummins has a better record in international cricket, but in the IPL, Buttler has an edge. Cummins has dismissed Buttler nine times at the international level. In the IPL, Buttler has scored 43 runs off 24 balls from him and gotten out only once.

2. Sanju Samson vs T Natarajan

Sanju Samson has been in red-hot form this season and has taken his team to winning positions in many games. He will be a big wicket in the coming game, but he has found it tough sometimes while facing T Natarajan. Samson has faced 37 balls from him, scored 40 runs at a strike rate of 108.1 in the IPL, and gotten out once. Hence, this will be an important battle in the middle and final overs.

3. Travis Head vs Trent Boult

Travis Head will be facing the first ball of the game, and he will be up against Trent Boult. This will be a great battle for the fans. Head will carry on with his aggressive approach and will target Boult. But the Kiwi pacer has dismissed most batters in the first over, and that’s what he will look to do. This will be the first time that these two will be up against each other in the IPL, but Boult has dismissed Head three times at the international level.

4. Heinrich Klaasen vs Yuzvendra Chahal

Heinrich Klaasen will come out to bat in the middle overs, and if he stays on the crease, he can take the score to something really big. He is very good at both spin and pace. However, Yuzvendra Chahal will be one big hurdle to cross. Chahal has dismissed him three times at the international level. In the IPL, he has dismissed Klaasen once in seven balls already.

5. Abhishek Sharma vs Ravichandran Ashwin

Abhishek Sharma is a brilliant player of spin bowling and likes to charge the spinners to hit big sixes. Undoubtedly, he will be looking to do the same in the upcoming SRH vs RR clash. But Ravichandran Ashwin will not be an easy spinner to face. Ashwin has loads of experience and bowls smartly. He has bowled 12 balls to Abhishek in the IPL and has dismissed him once.
