Roy, who scored 60 off 42 balls, was the top scorer for Rajasthan. Captain Kane Williamson, who was unbeaten on 51 off 41 balls, led the team to victory.

Sanju with orange cap
Rajasthan won the toss and elected to bat against Sanju Samson. Sanju hit 82 off 57 balls with seven fours and three sixes. Sanju also won the orange cap in the IPL.

Rajasthan batting
Rajasthan won the toss and elected to bat first against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL. Both teams have come down with changes. After learning lessons from the defeat, Rajasthan recalled Evin Lewis and Chris Morris. The absence of pacer Karthik Tyagi due to injury will be a setback for the team. Jayadev Unadkad replaced him in the team. The team also dropped David Miller.
Hyderabad is coming down with tough decisions. Former captain David Warner has been ruled out of action. Substitute is Jason Roy. Manish Pandey and Kedar Jadhav are also out of the squad. Substitutes are Abhishek Sharma and Priyam Garg. Siddharth Kaul replaces the injured Khalil Ahmed.
Sunrisers Hyderabad had a poor performance in the matches played in India. Halfway through, they had to replace captain David Warner. Under the leadership of Kane Williamson, Hyderabad has performed poorly so far in the UAE quarter as well. The team lost to Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings.
The Rajasthan Royals are currently performing average. The team is in crisis as there are no top players. But Rajasthan shocked by defeating Punjab. In the second match, they lost to Delhi. The fact that only captain Sanju Samson, who scored 70, played well shows the irresponsibility of the batting line-up.
