The Indian Premier League (IPL) team, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) didn’t start their campaign on a high note, as they were defeated by Rajasthan Royals on Sunday by a huge margin of 72 runs at home. The Hyderabad-based franchise will now be looking forward to bouncing back in the tournament against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Friday, April 7 in Lucknow.
Despite a very tough day in the office for the Orange Army last Sunday, the team still look very promising due to the likes of Harry Brook, Umran Malik, Mayank Agarwal, Adil Rashid, Rahul Tripathi, and the skipper Aiden Markram.
