IPL 2022: Impact Players To Watch Out For In SRH v RR Clash

In the 5th match of the IPL 2022, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on Rajasthan Royals (RR) at MCA Stadium, Pune. SRH defeated RR the last time these two teams met. 

Let's take a look at the best impact players to watch out for in the SRH vs RR IPL match today: 

1) Nicholas Pooran - The left-handed West Indian batter is one of the best spin hitters in the league this season. Pooran can smack both spin and pace. Against wrist spin, Pooran has an average of 66 and a strike rate of 151; against pace - the left-hander's strike rate is close to 145.

2) Aiden Markram - The South African is the perfect partner of Pooran in the middle overs. Markram is another middle over high intent batter. He has improved his spin game and can take on hard lengths vs pace. 

Both Pooran and Markram will be crucial for SRH in the middle-over phase and if at least one of them remains in the slog overs, Hyderabad can finish the innings well, with Abdul Samad in the coming. 

3) Abdul Samad - Since the last two seasons, Samad has been one of the most exciting players to watch. Samad is a hitter of the cricket ball. Given a strong batting lineup relative to the last two seasons, this could be the breakthrough year for Samad.
