SRH vs RR Live: Here’s what Travis Head said before the game

“Feels good to be back, seen some pretty good moments last year. Fingers crossed that it can happen early season again to get that momentum that we had. I’m enjoying the fact that Abhi (Abhishek Sharma) has had a really good 12 months, he’s got a lot better than last year and done extremely well on the International stage. Looking forward to supporting him again, and I think he’s going to have a huge year once again. Hopefully I start well too,” said Travis Head.

Sunrisers and Royals played two games against each other last season. Sunrisers won both the games and will be confident of maintaining their supremacy over the Rajasthan-based outfit. The first meeting was in the league stage when the Sunrisers prevailed by just one run. Later, they faced each other once again in the qualifier 2. Sunrisers won that game with ease, beating the Royals by 36 runs to qualify for the final which they lost to Kolkata Knight Riders.

Rajasthan Royals will miss skipper Sanju Samson due to his finger injury. Samson cannot keep wickets and field and can only bat with protection on his finger. It won’t be a surprise if he comes as an Impact Player. Batter Riyan Parag will be the interim captain for the 2008 champions Royals in their first three IPL matches.

SRH vs RR Live: 300 on cards for SRH?

Sunrisers have some of the most explosive batters in their line-up in Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen, and with a belter of a track likely to offer at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, they would fancy a massive total in the afternoon match of the double-header day. In fact, if any team can get to the much talked about 300-run total after batting first, it is Sunrisers that is expected to achieve the feat with the firepower they have.
