Preview:
Bottom-placed Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on Rajasthan Royals in the 40th match of the IPL 2021. Nothing is going in favour of the men in orange at the moment as they lost their previous match against Punjab Kings by 5 runs and knocked themselves out of the play-offs race. Jason Holder’s impeccable all-around show couldn’t help them win the match. They still have 5 matches in their hand and need to put up respectable performances.
Rajasthan Royals have got enough talent at their disposal, but they have not been able to showcase that on the field to the maximum extent. They did really well to restrict Delhi Capitals for 154, but lack of support for skipper Sanju Samson in the run-chase cost them the match. They are still very much in the race for play-off qualification, despite sitting currently at the 7th spot in the standings with 8 points.

Top Picks for SRH vs RR Dream11 Match:
Top Picks – Batters
Manish Pandey got decent starts in the last two matches but was not able to capitalize on it. He needs a big score to cement his place in the SRH team. In 7 matches in this tournament, he has scored 223 runs at an average of 37.16, with 2 half-centuries.
Yashasvi Jaiswal has got loads of talent. He is the star batter in making. The 19-year-old sensation has scored 120 runs in 5 matches in this year’s IPL, with the highest score of 49.
Top Picks – All-Rounders
Jason Holder gave everything for Sunrisers in the last match against Punjab Kings with both bat and ball. The Barbados all-rounder was awarded the player of the match for his exceptional show in the losing cause. It seemed like he was playing on a completely different surface, while the others struggled, he hit 5 sixes.
Chris Morris, who missed the last game due to a niggle, is likely to be back for this match against Sunrisers. His absence hurt the Royals immensely against Delhi Capitals. He has picked up 14 wickets in 8 matches so far in this tournament and has even accumulated 53 runs with the bat.
Top Picks – Bowlers
Rashid Khan likes to keep things simple and he continues to deliver with the ball for Sunrisers. He has the most wickets for his side in this IP, with 12 scalps in 9 matches at an economy of just under 6.
The ‘Fizz’, Mustafizur Rahman reads the batters’ minds well and he can be used at any point of time in the match. He dismissed the well-set Rishabh Pant and Shimron Hetmyer in the last game. He has scalped 10 wickets in 9 matches in this competition at an economy of 7.88.
Top Picks – Wicketkeepers
Sanju Samson ran out of partners in the last match against Delhi Capitals. The Rajasthan Royals skipper scored unbeaten 70 runs from 53 deliveries, and his total tally of runs to 351 in this year’s IPL.

SRH vs RR Risky Captaincy Choices:
Kane Williamson has managed to score 147 runs in 6 matches so far in this tournament at an average of 49. He is a risky captaincy pick for your fantasy teams.
Chetan Sakariya has scalped 10 wickets in 9 matches in this IPL. It’s always risky to pick a bowler as your fantasy team skipper, which makes him a risky option.
Player you should avoid:
Kedar Jadhav averages 13.75 with the bat in this IPL. Considering his lack of big hitting abilities, it’s better to avoid him while making your fantasy teams.
