Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take the stage alongside Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 65th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 on Thursday, May 18 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. SRH have been quite dismal with their outings and have managed just four wins out of 12 games played thus far. RCB, on the other hand, have done a decent job in the T20 carnival and currently stand fifth on the IPL 2023 points table with six victories in 12 outings.

Both the franchises are studded with top-drawer players in their arsenal and an exciting contest appears to be on the cards. As Sunrisers host Faf du Plessis & Co. on Thursday, let us look at the players who might attract a lot of eyeballs in the upcoming encounter.

Here are the top 3 Players to watch out for in SRH vs RCB clash

3. Mohammed Siraj

Mohammed Siraj has been a proven performer in the cash-rich league. He has rattled batters with his swing and wreaked havoc with the ball. The 29-year-old has featured in 77 matches in the marquee event and bagged 75 wickets at an economy of 8.62.

Siraj has been magnificent with the ball in the ongoing edition of the T20 extravaganza. The Hyderabad-born has represented Royal Challengers Bangalore on 12 occasions and taken 16 wickets at an economy of 7.79, which includes a four-wicket haul against Punjab Kings.

Siraj has been RCB’s tone-setter with the ball and has delivered the goods time and time again. Also, he has shown his bowling might in other phases of the innings too. The right-arm pacer would look to carry on good work for the Bangalore franchise in the forthcoming game and put up a show with the ball.
