Some Interesting stats

It’s worth noting that Bhuvneshwar Kumar has an impressive track record against the Punjab franchise in the IPL, having taken 26 wickets in just 18 matches. On the other hand,

Sam Curran has an outstanding strike rate of 256.25 when facing left-arm pacers in the IPL. As a result, it’s worth keeping in mind that SRH might field a few left-arm pacers against Curran in their upcoming match.

Tactics To Use for

In the event that Rabada plays in the match, Mayank Agarwal may see an opportunity to make his mark for his new franchise. While few batters have been able to perform well against the South African pacer in the IPL, Agarwal has managed a strike rate of 150 in the 38 balls he has faced against Rabada. This suggests that Agarwal may be capable of holding his own against one of the most formidable bowlers in the tournament.

There has been much discussion about the Sunrisers Hyderabad’s batting order being heavily skewed towards right-handers, and this could prove to be a disadvantage for them in their upcoming match against the Mumbai Indians, particularly given Rahul Chahar’s track record. Chahar has taken 40 wickets in 53 innings at an economy rate of 7.34, making him a potent threat to any batting lineup. Furthermore, Chahar has already dismissed one of SRH’s left-handers, Abhishek Sharma, twice in just 11 deliveries, indicating that he has the ability to trouble batsmen regardless of their dominant hand.
