On Sunday, March 23, Sunrisers Hyderabad locked horns against Rajasthan Royals at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. The visitors won the toss and opted to field first. There were some interesting choices in the playing XI as RR left out Sanju Samson and Wanindu Hasaranga.
Further, for SRH, they have gone ahead with just three overseas stars and banked on Aniket Verma in the middle-order. Meanwhile, this article will shed light on who can be the impact player options for both teams. However, before that lets look at the playing XI of the two teams.
SRH vs RR: Playing XI
Rajasthan Royals Playing XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubham Dubey, Nitish Rana, Riyan Parag (c), Dhruv Jurel (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Jofra Archer, Maheesh Theekshana, Tushar Deshpande, Sandeep Sharma, Fazalhaq Farooqi
Sunrisers Hyderabad Playing XI: Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan (wk), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen, Aniket Verma, Abhinav Manohar, Pat Cummins (c), Simarjeet Singh, Mohammed Shami, Harshal Patel
Here are the impact player substitutes named by both teams
Sunrisers Hyderabad: Sachin Baby, Wiaan Mulder, Adam Zampa, Jaydev Unadkat, Zeeshan Ansari
Rajasthan Royals: Sanju Samson, Kunal Singh Rathore, Kwena Maphaka, Akash Madhwal, Kumar Kartikeya
Who Can Rajasthan Royals Play As an Impact Player?
For Rajasthan, it is quite an obvious choice as Sanju Samson is not present in the playing XI list. It is worth noting that the regular RR captain has missed out on the playing XI because of a finger injury.
He is yet to recover fully from his injury, which is why the Royals are just playing him as a batter.
Who Can Be SRH's Impact Player Sub Against RR?
For SRH, they are most-likely to use Adam Zampa as their impact sub. It is worth noting that the Men in Orange have named just three overseas stars in their playing XI. Further, there is no proper spinner in the team. Thus, Zampa's chances of playing in the second innings increase as SRH would look for a spinner.
However, in the worst-case scenario of a collapse, SRH might have to go ahead with Wiaan Mulder who can bat and also contribute with the ball.
