Players to watch out for in SRH vs RR
Riyan Parag
The Rajasthan Royals skipper has had a quiet outing in the season so far, having scored just 45 runs from four innings. With Rajasthan in imperious touch, the batting form of their skipper will only add to their firepower, making them a domineering force of the ongoing edition.
Shivang Kumar
The left-arm spinner had a brilliant game against Punjab Kings (PBKS), taking three wickets in four overs. The 23-year-old will once again prove to be a vital cog in SRH’s struggling bowling attack as they aim to get out of their rut.
