Sunrisers Hyderabad is not “RunRisers” Hyderabad! No one should have any objection if Sunrisers Hyderabad is given such a name in this year’s IPL. This Hyderabad scored 277 runs against Mumbai Indians on March 27 and set the record for the highest run in the IPL. They broke the record themselves on April 15 against Royal Challengers Bangalore—287 for 3.

In reply, Bangalore scored 262 runs. The combined 549 runs of the two teams is the highest in any T20 match. After such a match, Pat Cummins’ Hyderabad will enter the field again today. Opponent Delhi Capitals, Ground Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium – This is the first match at this ground in IPL.

Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting has been criticizing the impact-sub rule for the past few days. Talking about this, he also cited the example of Hyderabad opener Travis Head who scored a century as an impact-sub. Now the responsibility of stopping those heads is on Ponting’s shoulders. How will he cope? Some are calling the Sunrisers ‘RunRisers’ for the past few days on social media. It goes without saying that he broke the team’s record for runs multiple times.

 Why Hyderabad batsmen can not tolerate spinners! They have scored 9.64 runs per over against spinners in 6 matches so far in IPL, which is the highest in this year’s IPL. The ‘brand ambassador’ of Hyderabad’s explosive batting that Heinrich Klaasen has bowled only 48 runs against spinners in the IPL so far, do you know how many runs? 102!

The danger for Delhi is that they depend heavily on two spinners Akshar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav for success. In that case, Delhi can get the ball to the spinners early before Klaasen comes to the crease. Head, who scored a 39-ball century in the last match, has also been out twice against spinners in this IPL. Delhi can therefore take this risk.

There is also danger if the risk does not work against Hyderabad. Hyderabad has played 6 matches in IPL so far. Where they got off to a good start in all the matches except the match against Punjab. They scored more than 76 runs in three of the six matches in the power play. However, Delhi’s wicket could be a stumbling block for Hyderabad to storm. This ground has seen low-scoring matches in women’s IPL towards the end. However, with the form of Hyderabad batsmen, the fans can expect any new achievements or records.However, the fielding coach of the team, Ryan Cook, thinks that scoring 287 runs is a bit of an illusion, ‘I am not sure if I can do such a score again. Of course the wicket here is good. The batsmen are in an attacking mindset, but each condition has different demands, guys will assess that, form pairs, then try to understand what is a good score here.”
