IPL 2024: Top 3 Records That Could Be Broken in Today’s SRH vs RR Match
Jaydev Unadkat is nearing 100 IPL wickets milestone
The Qualifier 2 match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 will be played between Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The match is scheduled on May 23rd at 7:30 pm.
This match will be Qualifier 2 where the team that won the Eliminator game and the loser of Qualifier 1 will compete for the ticket to the finale. Kolkata Knight Riders are already in the final after defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad, while Rajasthan Royals defeated RCB in the eliminator game making their way to Qualifier 2.
Talking about Sunrisers Hyderabad, they were thrashed in the last game against Kolkata Knight Riders. It appeared that SRH didn’t show up and a replica or a shadow of SRH played that game.
Sunrisers Hyderabad would eye to make a comeback as the stakes are high.
Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, appeared shaky and scratchy despite the win against RCB in the last game. RR finally got their first win in May and would be hoping to win the next two and clinch the title.
Rajasthan Royals will be led by Sanju Samson while Sunrisers Hyderabad will be led by Pat Cummins.
Here are some records that could be broken in the match:
1. Unadkat to Target 100 IPL Wickets
Jaydev Unadkat is an IPL veteran having represented different franchises in the tournament. He needs one wicket to reach 100 wickets in IPL.
2. Klaasen Nearing 1000 IPL Runs
SRH would be hoping to see their finisher in form at this most important game. Heinrich Klaasen needs another seventy-three runs to complete 1000 runs in IPL.
3. Ashwin Eyes 50 Catches
Ravichandran Ashwin was the man of the match in the last game where he gave it his all. He is three catches away from taking 50 catches in IPL.
The stakes are high; whoever loses will have to end their campaign at this stage of the tournament. RR has never won a title since 2008, and SRH has never won a title since 2016. Both would like to end their dry run and make it to the finals, but they say the Semi-Final is tougher than the final, and both teams need to excel.
