Mullanpur: A 15-year-old batsman will test his skills against a strong batting lineup when Rajasthan Royals meet Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League Eliminator on Wednesday. Sunrisers Hyderabad improved after a slow start and won five of their final seven league matches following the return of their captain. They defeated Rajasthan Royals twice during the regular season. Royals reached the playoffs on the final day of the league stage. Their top order, led by the young batsman with 583 runs along with two other key players, has provided most of the team’s runs. Sunrisers Hyderabad rely on three aggressive openers and a fourth batsman who has enjoyed a strong season. The pitch at Mullanpur has favored high-scoring games. Rajasthan Royals will depend on their leading wicket-taker to deliver early breakthroughs, while Sunrisers Hyderabad will look to their experienced bowlers and emerging spinners to restrict the opposition.
