Preview

The fifth match of the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will witness the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) outfit locking horns with the Rajasthan Royals (RR) side in Pune. Both these sides had a forgettable previous season.

While the Rajasthan Royals finished at the seventh place on the table after winning only five out of their 14 rubbers, the Sunrisers Hyderabad outfit ended the league stages at the last place, posting just three wins in 14 games in IPL 2021.

Both sides strengthened their batting and bowling armours in the 2022 IPL mega auction. Needless to say, after a poor outing last year, both these sides will want to commence the 15th edition of the IPL with a win.

If Sanju Samson gets going, it means that the opposition will be in trouble. A batter blessed with the ability to pick the gaps with precision and also clear the boundaries at will, Samson was the highest run-getter for the ‘Men in Pink’ in IPL 2021, plundering 484 runs at an average of above 40.
