Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will go up against each other for the first time in IPL 2024 on Thursday (May 2) in Match 50 of the ongoing edition at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad.
While Rajasthan are placed at the top of the points table, having won eight times in nine matches, Hyderabad are fifth on the chart, with five wins and as many defeats.
Before two teams' extremely exciting superstars collide, let's take a look at which matchups are set to be breathtaking for the viewers.

Heinrich Klaasen Vs Yuzvendra Chahal
| Runs | Balls | Outs | Dots | Average | Strike Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13 | 7 | 1 | 2 | 13 | 185.7 |
Ah, you can't expect a better mouth-watering contest here. Klaasen likes to go hard, while Chahal often tempts batters to do the same in order to get them trapped. The veteran leg-spinner in fact deceived Klaasen once in the IPL, although the strike rate reads 185.7, making it one hell of a battle.
Jos Buttler Vs Pat Cummins
| Runs | Balls | Outs | Dots | Average | Strike Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 43 | 24 | 1 | 8 | 43 | 179.2 |
Buttler has thrashed Cummins left, right, and centre over the years in the IPL. However, at the same time, the Englishman has lost his wicket once to the talismanic Australian fast bowler. The scenarios have changed drastically this season, with Cummins leading SRH by example. So, expect a fascinating contest this time.
Abhishek Sharma Vs Trent Boult
| Runs | Balls | Outs | Dots | Average | Strike Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | 18 | 1 | 12 | 11 | 61.1 |
Trent Boult has dominated Abhishek Sharma massively in IPL, as the above mentioned stats speak volumes. Although Abhishek seems like a different batsman altogether this season, his traumatic numbers won't take any credit from Boult's supreme consistency over him.
