IPL 2024 – Qualifier 2, SRH vs RR: Top 3 Players You Can Pick In Your Dream11 Fantasy Team As Captain & Vice-Captain

Riyan Parag & Abhishek Sharma are the ideal captaicy & vice-captaincy choices for SRH vs RR Dream11 fantasy team.

The 73rd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 will be played between Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The match is scheduled on May 23rd at 7:30 pm.

This match will be Qualifier 2 where the team that won the Eliminator game and the loser of Qualifier 1 will compete for the ticket to the finale. Kolkata Knight Riders are already in the final after defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad, while Rajasthan Royals defeated RCB in the eliminator game, making their way to Qualifier 2.

Talking about Sunrisers Hyderabad, they were thrashed in the last game against Kolkata Knight Riders. It appeared that SRH didn’t show up, and a replica or a shadow of SRH played that game.

SRH would eye to make a comeback as the stakes are high. Mitchell Starc dismissed Travis Head in the first over, and it appeared to be a match-changing moment. SRH’s overreliance on their openers was exposed in the last game.

Their other batters need to step up as SRH has lit the tournament very well but would be disappointed getting kicked out in the tournament at this stage.

Biggest Challenges for SRH:

  • Tackling RR spinners
  • New ball wickets
  • Batting deep with a solid middle order
  • RR’s winning momentum

Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, appeared shaky and scratchy despite the win against RCB in the last game. RR finally got their first win in May and would be hoping to win the next two and clinch the title.

Despite winning, RR looked like a beatable team, and SRH would fathom their chances in doing so. RR won the last game because of their bowling starring Boult and Ashwin, but their batters need to step up.

The slow pitch of Chennai will favor their spinners, but RR needs to bring back their A game in this match remembering their first half.

Biggest Challenges for RR:

  • SRH’s openers
  • RR’s fragile batting
  • Death overs
  • Fielding

Rajasthan Royals will be led by Sanju Samson while Sunrisers Hyderabad will be led by Pat Cummins. SRH defeated RR by 1 run in the last game when both teams last met.

Punt Picks:

  • T Cadmore (RR)
  • N Reddy (SRH)
