SRH had a brilliant campaign last season. The Hyderabad-based outfit displayed an attacking brand of cricket and just blew teams away. They have managed to retain the same core for this season as well and will look to go all the way.
On the other hand, RR's journey in IPL 2024 ended with a defeat against SRH in the second qualifier. RR were the most consistent team in the first half of the season last year before losing their way towards the end. They will look to start the season on a strong note once again. So, as SRH and RR gear up for the game, here is the SRH vs RR match preview.

The battle of the captains will also be a very crucial one in the upcoming SRH vs RR game. Sanju Samson is entering this season on the back of three centuries in T20Is. The RR skipper has made a habit of starting the season well and he will be looking to do the same in the upcoming as well.
SRH - Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen, Pat Cummins, and Harshal Patel will be the key players for SRH.
