HYDERABAD: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) skipper Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bat against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 here at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.

RR, under the leadership of Sanju Samson have been near flawless throughout the season. Royals have endured just one defeat in nine matches and sit comfortably at the top of the table. While SRH have enjoyed success in the first half of the season but two consecutive defeats have acted as a hurdle in their progress in the points table.

After winning to toss, SRH skipper Pat Cummins said, “We are gonna have a bat. The games we have won, we batted first. That’s probably our strength. Looks like a good wicket.”

RR captain Sanju Samson said during the time of the toss, “We also wanted to bat looking at the conditions. It does suit the team, we have done both well this season. The momentum is the key in this tournament. Lot of things have been working well. To recognise what is working well, we just want to stick with that.”
