Riyan Parag's Team Rajasthan Royals (RR) lost the match by 44 runs against Team Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal, Hyderabad on Sunday, March 23.
RR won the toss and chose to bowl first in the match. The decision heavily backfired as all the bowlers were taken to the cleaners by the explosive Sunrisers Hyderabad batting unit.
Ishan Kishan was one who troubled RR the most as he blasted a sensational ton and took Sunrisers Hyderabad to the second-biggest total of IPL - 286/6.
I feel collectively we took that decision, it was the right decision - Riyan Parag on toss decision
Speaking after the match, Riyan Parag said that he expected a tough outing against SRH and backed his toss decision despite the bowlers being taken to the cleaners.
Riyan Parag further said that they had quite a few positives in the match as Dhruv Jurel, Sanju Samson, Shimron Hetmyer, Tushar Deshpande and Sandeep Sharma did a good job. He said:
How Did RR Perform in the Previous IPL Match Against SRH?
Rajasthan Royals (RR) had a tough outing in their IPL 2024 Qualifier 2 clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Chennai as they lost by 36 runs while chasing the target and eventually finished at 139/7.
Sanju Samson, Riyan Parag, and Shimron Hetmyer all failed to build partnerships, leaving Dhruv Jurel (56* off 35) to fight a lone battle. However, lack of support from the other end meant RR never really looked in the game.
Earlier in the first innings, Rajasthan Royals bowlers did well, with Trent Boult (3/45), Avesh Khan (3/27) and Sandeep Sharma (2/25) leading the attack. Boult’s early strikes had SRH reeling at 57/3, but Heinrich Klaasen’s 50 and Shahbaz Ahmed’s valuable 18-run knock pushed SRH to a competitive and match-winning total of 175/9.
