Captain Faf du Plessis won the crucial toss as Royal Challengers Bengaluru elected to bat first against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 41st match of the Indian Premier League 2024 on Thursday.
After winning the toss, Bengaluru entered the game with the same starting eleven that almost pulled off a 223-run chase against Kolkata in the last match. High-flying Hyderabad made only one change to their playing eleven with pacer Jaydev Unadkat replacing spinner Washington Sundar at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
Sunrisers Hyderabad Playing XI: Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Nitish Reddy, Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahmed, Pat Cummins (c), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jaydev Unadkat, Mayank Markande, T Natarajan.
