The Rajasthan Royals skipper Riyan Parag once again won the toss and pushed a batting-friendly side of the Sunrisers Hyderabad to bat first. Jofra Archer dismissed Abhishek Sharma on the very first ball of the spell and handed the Royals another solid start with the ball.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad are hosting another team at their home venue, the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Sunrisers have not had the best of records at their home ground this season, as they have just won a single match in the season, and that too at Eden Gardens.
Rajasthan Royals are one of the two undefeated sides in this edition of the IPL, as they are currently at the top of the points table with 8 points in 4 games, one more than Punjab Kings, who are also undefeated in the season.
Abhishek Sharma, the dynamic opener for the Sunrisers, struggled to maintain his consistency in this season. The opener flaunts a stunning record in the powerplay and forms one of the most destructive batting pairs alongside Travis Head.

However, Archer bowled a quick delivery that beat him for pace, and the left-handed batter, who has the knack of smacking balls for sixes through the off side, skied the ball to the fielder at deep backward point.
The batter, after a promising performance in the last game against the Punjab Kings, was dismissed for a duck as he stepped into the set trap by the Royals' paceman and the skipper.
