After the first two excruciating days of the 11th edition of the Indien Premier League (IPL), the third day is again expected to be set on fire as the two captain-hit squads Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Rajasthan Royals (RR). Both teams have lost their prime players, David Warner and Steve Smith because of the recent ball-tampering controversy in Cape Town. However, on paper still both the teams are looking pretty balanced and can be a strong contender to lift the trophy this year. Let us look at the five players of the match who will be worth watching.
1. Rashid Khan (SRH)
Rashid Khan has been making a name for himself from the last couple of years all-over the world. In recent times, every T20 team wants him in their pool of players as he has the ability to deceive any batsman in the world. Leg-spinners always had an upper-hand in the T20 cricket and Khan is no exception but with its low trajectory, he somehow manages to beat the batsman. In his career of 91 T20 games, Rashid had managed to pick 135 wickets and maintained a phenomenal economy rate of below 6. He can be an asset to any team he plays for and now he can wreak havoc against Rajasthan at SRH’s home turf.
