Sunrisers Hyderabad Predicted Playing XI Against Rajasthan Royals. 

Top Order

Sunrisers Hyderabad's top order will be one of the most destructive in the season, with young star Indian Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, and Ishan Kishan. In the last T20 match against England, Abhishek scored an explosive century, scattering England’s bowling attack. Travis has already shown his abilities multiple times with his performances over the years. The new addition to the top order will be Ishan Kishan, who will join the team after playing for Mumbai Indians over the last few years.

Middle Order

For the middle order, Sunrisers Hyderabad will have South African wicketkeeper Heinrich Klaasen, who has consistently performed well for the team with his aggressive batting in recent years. Nitish Kumar Reddy, who made the news after his century in the Border Gavaskar Trophy against Australia at Melbourne Cricket Ground, will also be part of the middle order. Along with these two, there will be young Indian batter Abhinav Manohar.

Lower order

Pat Cummins, Rahul Chahar, and Harshal Patel will lead the team in the lower order, hitting some big shots in the last few overs. Pat Cummins has repeatedly shown his ability to score runs in the end, whether it's scoring runs fast or saving his wicket at one end. He is capable of both. Harshal Patel can also hit some big shots in the last few overs.

Bowlers

In the bowling lineup, SRH has Pat Cummins leading the pace attack along with last season's Purple Cap holder Harshal Patel and experienced Indian pacer, Mohammed Shami. In the spin attack, the team has two world-class spinners who will lead in the middle overs: leg spinner Rahul Chahar and Australian Adam Zampa.
