Qualifier 2, SRH vs RR: Players to watch out for

Hyderabad: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the crucial Qualifier game at MA Chidambaram (Chepauk) Stadium in Chennai on Friday.

The winners will take on the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for the title shot, in the finals scheduled on Sunday.
Both Hyderabad and Rajasthan look confident of winning and advancing into the finals. As the teams approach the game optimistically these players hold the key for their victory.
Key players:
HeadShek: SRH openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma are the stars of the team this season. With 533 and 470 runs, Head and Abhishek are at number 4 and 10 in the top scorers list respectively. The opening pair's fiery start can take away the game from the opposition and are key players to watch out for in tonight's game.
Riyan Parag: Riyan, the young talent is still in the race for the orange cap this season, standing at number 3 in the top scorers list with 567 runs. He has single handedly finished games for his side this season and is keen to repeat his performance in the crucial fight.
Boult and Aswin: Chepauk has historically produced turning pitches and if that is the case today then Aswin will challenge the SRH batters to the full. SRH star batters including Head and Abhishek have trouble facing left arm pacers, which was evident in the first qualifier match, when Starc got their wickets. So, facing Boult who looked in blazing touch in the last game will be a tough challenge to SRH batters.
Sanju Samson: With 521 runs the Rasthan Royals Skipper is in 6 position in the top scorers list. His form and performance will be a crucial factor for the team to navigate into the finals. He is definitely a player that we should watch out for today.
Yuzvendra Chahal: The mystery spinner is at number three on the list of bowlers with the highest dot balls and is at 6 spot in the highest wicket takers list. Chahal, who has the ability to pick wickets at crucial times is a player to place our bets on.
