Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH): The Sunrisers will be without their regular captain Pat Cummins, who is sidelined with a lumbar stress injury and is currently in Australia for recovery. Ishan Kishan will continue to lead the side as the stand-in captain in his absence.

In a significant bowling change, SRH is expected to hand a debut to Vidarbha pacer Praful Hinge, who is likely to replace Jaydev Unadkat in the XI. The batting will once again rely on the explosive opening pair of Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head.

Rajasthan Royals (RR): The Royals are in sensational form, having won all four of their opening matches. They will be without Sam Curran, who is ruled out for the remainder of the season with a groin injury. However, the spotlight remains on 15-year-old sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who currently holds the Orange Cap with 200 runs at a massive strike rate of 266.66. Riyan Parag continues to lead the side with confidence.
