IPL 2022 | SRH vs RR | Match 5 - Preview, Predictions, Probable XI, Fantasy XI

Onecricket

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 bandwagon will move to Pune on Tuesday as Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) square off at MCA International Stadium in match number five of the ongoing tournament.


Both the teams had a forgetful campaign last year but will look to add a second IPL title to their respective cabinets with transformed squads. While Sunrisers Hyderabad finished at the bottom of the points table in the last edition, Rajasthan Royals either did not have a good year and ended their season at the seventh spot.


The Kane Williamson-led Sunrisers Hyderabad are banking upon the youngsters to deliver the goods for them this year. Picking up Abdul Samad and Umran Malik indicates the path they are heading towards. 


While they would rely on the young shoulders of Rahul Tripathi and Abhishek Sharma for giving them a good start, this pair certainly does not boast of consistency. However, SRH's middle-order has firepower, with the franchise choosing to fill it in with the likes of Nicholas Pooran, Aiden Markram and Abdul Samad.


Their bowling lineup for the season comes across pretty well. Washington Sundar is likely to be the lead spinner, while Aiden Markram and Abdul Samad act as the part-timers. In addition, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umran Malik, Marco Jansen and Thangarasu Natarajan join together to build up a strong pace-bowling attack.


On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals will walk into the tournament, strengthening their batting core compared to the previous few seasons. Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal will likely be their opening combination, with Devdutt Padikkal, Sanju Samson, Shimron Hetmyer and Riyan Parag forming a decent middle-order.


Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Yuzvendra Chahal and Prasidh Krishna will likely make the starting XI as four key bowlers.

Shantha Rangaswamy picks the next captain of India's Women's Team

Former Indian woman cricketer Shantha Rangaswamy has suggested the next captain of Indian women's cricket team after Mithali Raj. The former Indian woman cricketer reckons that opener Smriti Mandhana's knacks for being consistent make her an ideal candidate to lead India. "Mithali can go on if she wants to... But, Smriti should lead," Rangaswamy told PTI. India's departure from the World Cup meant that Mithali Raj and Jhulan Goswami have probably played their last match at the international level. However, Raj refused to comment after the heartbreaking loss to South Africa's women's team on Sunday when asked about a similar question. Rangaswamy wants Mandhana to replace Raj as the team's captain and added, "Harman is a proven match-winner and star player but captaincy needs taking responsibility and playing consistently well. An additional responsibility of captaincy may weigh Harman down. It will put an additional burden on Harman. Smriti can handle that better. Her temperament is suited to captaincy." Rangaswamy spoke about the team's campaign explaining, "The expectations were high since they finished runners-up last time. The results came to those who played consistently throughout. India especially in the England game, they were skittled out. Luck played its part too." While speaking about luck, Indians managed to take the South African chase to the last over. In a dramatic climax, a no-ball by Deepti Sharma ended India's hopes eventually. Sharma had dismissed Mignon du Preez, who was later adjudged as the 'Player of the Match' award, but the umpire signalled no-ball. However, South Africans were determined throughout the chase, and India's effort in the field might costed them the match. Unfortunately, Goswami could not feature in the match following an injury. She was seen devasted after the no-ball by Deepti. Even former India captain opined, "The no-ball today also went against them. Luck again played a part. But they were inconsistent. If you look at the last one year, Smriti and Mithali have been consistent."
