T Natarajan (SRH): The left-arm quick has been the best bowler for the Orange Army so far in IPL 2024. He has mixed the slower ones and yorkers effectively and at times managed to restrict the opposition from posing huge totals. Natarajan has scalped 13 wickets from seven matches and has a bowling strike rate of 12.92. One can back him to scalp more than 1.5 wickets.

SRH vs RR: Predictions
Going by Parimatch betting odds, one can expect a total of 383.5 or over runs (1.85) to be garnered. The two teams have a strong batting line-up and SRH have recorded gargantuan scores earlier. After two fragile starts, it won’t be shocking to see Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma stitch over 26.5 runs (1.85) for the opening stand. As the wickets in Hyderabad have favoured batters, less than 12.5 wickets (1.85) could be observed in the match.
