In the 50th IPL Match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Rajasthan Royals (RR), Captain Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bat first against Sanju Samson's men. 

While there are no changes for the RR, SRH have decided to drop Aiden Markram even though they would be batting first, in his place they have decided to bring in Marco Jansen.



SRH vs RR Playing XI:

Rajasthan Royals Playing XI : Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (c), Riyan Parag, Rovman Powell, Shimron Hetmyer, Dhruv Jurel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Sandeep Sharma, Yuzvendra Chahal, Avesh Khan, Trent Boult

Sunrisers Hyderabad Playing XI : Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahmed, Marco Jansen, Anmolpreet Singh, Pat Cummins (c), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan


SRH vs RR Captain's Thoughts:

Sanju Samson: 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.

Pat Cummins: We are gonna have a bat. The games we have won, we batted first. That's probably our strength. It's a good wicket and who knows whether we can get 300. Let's see how it goes.
