On Sunday afternoon, the fresh season of the Tata IPL will kick off with a match between former champions, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals. The teams will clash on a perfect batting strip at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium (Uppal) in Hyderabad, with both sides eager to start the season on a winning note. Unfortunately, Sunrisers Hyderabad will be without the services of their captain, Aiden Markram, and Heinrich Klaasen, who are currently on national duty for South Africa. In their absence, seasoned swing merchant Bhuvneshwar Kumar will lead the SRH side on Sunday. Despite this setback, both teams have been practicing at the Uppal Stadium in Hyderabad to prepare for the upcoming match. The Sunrisers team arrived in Hyderabad a couple of days ago and have been working hard to ensure they are ready for their first game of the season.
