SRH opt to bowl against RCB

Mumbai, April 23 : Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have won the toss and opted to bowl against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in an IPL 2022 match here at Brabourne Stadium on Saturday. Both sides are unchanged for the 36th fixture of the season. After winning the toss, SRH skipper Kane Williamson said: “We are gonna have a bowl. Quite humid, perhaps some dew coming in, we’ll have to see. The wickets tend to remain similar throughout. We have had a little bit of a break. We have to play smart and make the required adjustments.” RCB captain Faf du Plessis said: “It’s our first game here, looking like a pretty decent surface. IPL has something for the bowlers in the first six overs. The pitch has looked like a nice, consistent pitch. We have to assess and play accordingly from there. For me, it’s a case of believing in the guys. As a team, you don’t want to rely on one or two guys. Someone needs to put their hand up and luckily we’ve had guys who have done that consistently and also guys have shared responsibilities through the team.” Playing XIs: RCB: Faf du Plessis (c), Anuj Rawat, Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, Suyash Prabhudessai, Shahbaz Ahmed, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Wanindu Hasaranga, Harshal Patel, Josh Hazlewood, Mohammed Siraj. SRH: Abhishek Sharma, Kane Williamson (c), Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Shashank Singh, Jagadeesha Suchith, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Marco Jansen, Umran Malik, T Natarajan.
