A Ravichandran Ashwin delivery hit the front pad of Abhishek Sharma, who was trying to defend the ball. Umpire was unconvinced with the appeal for LBW but RR decided to go upstairs.

None of the sides has dominated the other so far. SRH have scored 21 runs in the first three overs without losing any wicket but RR have made sure they don’t leak runs. Next over could be a big one as you can’t keep this opening pair of Head and Abhishek Sharma calm for long.

IPL 2024 Live: RR’s dominance

The Royals boast of a formidable top order, comprising Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and skipper Sanju Samson, with all three of them in good nick. The West Indian duo of Shimron Hetymer and Rovman Powell and youngsers Riyan Parag and Dhruv Jurel have also shown they can hit top gear. They have an equally potent bowling attack comprising Yuzvendra Chahal, the experienced Trent Boult, Avesh Khan and Sandeep Sharma.

IPL 2024 Live: RR enjoying great run

Runaway leaders Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, will look to continue their near flawless run. The inaugural edition’s champions have shown then are perfectly equipped to compete anywhere. They are perched atop the table with 16 points — four points ahead of second placed Kolkata Knight Riders. They are all but through to the knockout stage.

SRH vs RR Live: Head and Abhishek eye comeback

SRH are too dependent on the explosive starts provided by Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma. And, while the duo gets going it’s great but when they flop, SRH will want to do a better job at re-building their innings. It’s also about time Aiden Markram steps up and justifies his spot in the playing XI, having had an underwhelming season thus far.
