However, there is no buzz about Sunrisers Hyderabad when one enters Hyderabad. Both Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals had marketed their promotions around them and had picked their options at the auctions revolving these two talismanic Australians. Ajinkya Rahane will head the charge for the Royals while Kane Williamson will don the captain’s hat for the Orange brigade. However, Sunrisers Hyderabad will be expected to get a boost from Alex Hales, who is David Warner’s replacement. Quite like Sunrisers, if Tripathi and Rahane can give Rajasthan Royals a flying start, they have Ben Stokes, the most expensive player in the 2018 auction, Jos Buttler and the explosive D’Arcy Short to run riot.
