Player Watch
YASHASVI JAISWAL (#RajasthanRoyals)
A talented youngster, Yashasvi Jaiswal, on raw potential, is a terrific player for Rajasthan Royals - his powerplay numbers speak of a fearless top-order batter who could have a massive season this time.
Last IPL season, Royals finished at the 7th place on the table after winning only 5 out of their 14 games, Hyderabad ended the league stages at the last place, posting just 3 wins in 14 games.
Both sides strengthened their batting and bowling armours in the 2022 IPL mega auction. Both these sides will want to commence the 15th edition of the IPL with a win.
