Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore are set to face each other in this edition of Vivo IPL 2021 for the first time on 14th April. SRH vs RCB has been one of the top contests in the previous editions and this year it promises to be another exciting battle as both team’s lineup looks very interesting.
SRH is looking a very solid team on paper with some great-looking batting outfit and a talented bowling department. Though they lost their previous game against KKR by ten runs, they still look a pretty balanced outfit with all the bases covered. Sunrisers would be hoping for the return of form for their David Warner as soon as possible so as to get their campaign back on track in this edition.

Sunrisers are bolstered with the good form of Bairstow and Manish Pandey in the middle-order and a good rollicking start from Warner could pave the way for a resounding result for the franchise.
RCB on the other hand looks very sorted this year which was evident in their last game against MI. They won that game by two wickets riding on a very collective effort from the team. The addition of Glenn Maxwell to the team has bolstered their batting lineup to a very good effect. The team has a very good blend of youth and experience which could reap good awards for the team.

Also with AB De Villiers in good form, Maxwell getting in good nick and their bowling spearheaded by Harshal Patel, Bangalore looks a very promising side and this could turn out to be their year eventually.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)
Sunrisers Hyderabad is looking a very balanced side in terms of its playing XI. With Bairstow coming at number four their middle-order looks completely sorted and could eventually make them win in coming games. SRH’s bowling has been their key over the years and this time also it looks like a very much settled bowling attack spearheaded by Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
Probable XI: David Warner (c), Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Manish Pandey, Jonny Bairstow, Vijay Shankar/Kedar Jadhav, Mohammad Nabi, Abdul Samad, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sandeep Sharma, T Natarajan
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)
Royal Challengers Bangalore is coming from a fine victory in their previous game. Their team is pretty sorted as they would look to end their title drought this year. They would be hoping for the return of Devdutt Padikkal in their team as he performed very consistently last year and also performed exceedingly well in the recent domestic tournaments held earlier this year. Their bowling also looks sorted with Harshal Patel spearheading the attack.
Probable XI: Virat Kohli(c), Devdutt Padikkal, AB de Villiers(w), Glenn Maxwell, Daniel Christian, Washington Sundar, Kyle Jamieson, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj, Shahbaz Ahmed, Yuzvendra Chahal
