Rajasthan Royals opt to bowl vs Sunrisers Hyderabad<\/p>\n
Riyan Parag<\/a> called correctly as the unbeaten Rajasthan Royals (RR)<\/a> elected to bowl on a fresh surface in Hyderabad against a Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)<\/a> outfit hoping to overturn a two-match losing streak in IPL 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n RR made two changes, handing South Africa batter Lhuan-dre Pretorius<\/a> his first opportunity of the season in place of a “rested” Shimron Hetmyer. In another like-for-like change, seamer Brijesh Sharma went out to accommodate Tushar Deshpande<\/a>.<\/p>\n Hosts SRH also made two changes, with the experienced bowling duo of Harshal Patel and Jaydev Unadkat making way for debutants Sakib Hussain<\/a> and Praful Hinge<\/a>. Sakib plays for Bihar in domestic cricket, and will be up against his state mate Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, while Hinge plays for Vidarbha under Harsh Dubey.<\/p>\n Rajasthan Royals: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Riyan Parag (capt), Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Donovan Ferreira, Ravindra Jadeja, Jofra Archer, Nandre Burger, Sandeep Sharma, Ravi Bishnoi, Tushar Deshpande<\/p>\n Impact Subs: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Shimron Hetmyer, Ravi Singh, Shubham Dubey, Brijesh Sharma<\/p>\n Sunrisers Hyderabad: Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan (capt & wk), Heinrich Klaasen, Salil Arora, Aniket Verma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Harsh Dubey, Shivang Kumar, Eshan Malinga, Praful Hinge<\/p>\n Impact Subs: R Smaran, Sakib Hussain, Liam Livingstone, Shivam Mavi, Harshal Patel<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rajasthan Royals opt to bowl vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Riyan Parag called correctly as the unbeaten Rajasthan Royals (RR)…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":604435,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-604434","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604434","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=604434"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604434\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/604435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=604434"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=604434"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=604434"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
