It felt like Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are destined to win a match when they are defending the target. They have got three in three now. Despite Ajinkya Rahane’s near-perfect captain know, SRH bowlers repeated what they have been doing of late. They made a comeback by getting wickets in middle overs and then capitalised when the pressure was mounting on Rajasthan Royals (RR) batsmen. Nothing new, same old story. SRH are currently at the top of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018 points table.
Here are the live social updates of RR vs SRH clash –
19:25 IST I guess I knew it all along. SRH once again defend a low-scoring total. SRH win by 11 runs, Ajinkya Rahane carries his bat scoring 65 runs from 53 deliveries.
Send out the @SunRisers to defend our borders – they can defend anything! #RRvSRH #VIVOIPL

19:20 IST The question is, what was the umpire doing signalling it as not out. That was not the need anyway.
Manish Pandey just justifies his 11cr purchase with this stunning. Beautiful attempt #astonished @IPL #IPL11 #RRvSRH

19:17 IST And Lomror departs. To be fair it was not a good decision to send him ahead of Gowtham.
How is this lomror preferred over gowtham ? #RRvSRH
— Johar Ali (@ShahMufc) April 29, 2018
19:07 IST Rahane is there to bat, not chose who comes to watch the match or not. Twitter is a strange place. 50 for RR skipper.
Hey @rajasthanroyals please get someone better to scream at the stadium. Horrible match watching experience. #RRvSRH #RajasthanRoyals #VIVOIPL

19:03 IST English players under pressure after not being able to score.
Who is @rajasthanroyals batting coach?!
Seriously needs to teach @benstokes38 and @josbuttler to bat, especially against spin. Keep throwing their wickets cheaply and putting their team under pressure. #IPL2018 #RRvSRH— Sharan Godya (@sharangodya) April 29, 2018
18:56 IST Whenever Rashid Khan picks up a wicket. Jos Buttler back in the hut.

RR: No, we have Ben Stokes #RRvSRH— Anshuman Mishra (@Anshuman86m) April 29, 2018
18:42 IST And Ben Stokes fails again, out for a duck to Yusuf Pathan.

18:13 IST More Samson jokes coming up. Meanwhile he has scored 20 runs off 14 deliveries.
Lagta hai Samson is more charged than your phone ever is, @googlydevi ! Saare shot boundary ke taraf hi jaa rahe hai. #RRvSRH #JioDDDLive #IPl2018

17:59 IST This guy has some weird explanation for the future matches despite their decent performances on why SRH should lose despite being the team’s fan.
It is very important for Hyderabad to lose this match,otherwise there will be a lot of trouble in the future.Hyderabad batsman thinks 130 plus score is enough.All batsman are flop except Williamson.He played well. #RRvSRH #SRH #RRvSRH #RR #AakashVani @cricketaakash #IPL2018 @IPL

Innings break
17:35 IST Was this the message from SRH captain, will they be able to defend the total at Jaipur?
What’s the Captain Kane’s message out there – “We have crossed our 140 mark; that’s more than enough on board for us!”
BUT; Jaipur is a ‘Royals Fortress’; will it be that easy for #SRH today? @rajasthanroyals @SunRisers @ajinkyarahane88 #IPL2018 #RRvSRH #VIVOIPL #HallaBol

17:09 IST Williamson is not happy with that decision but he has to go after snicko confirmation.
No way he’s hit that.
Where the hell is hot spot?
What’s the point of having so much money if you can’t get the technology, @BCCI?
Umpiring in the #IPL continues to be shit.#RRvSRH— Pravir Singh (@Pravir21) April 29, 2018
16:52 IST Finally, finally Kane Williamson has switched gears and how. 21 runs from the over.

16:41 IST Ben Stokes gets some respect from Twitterati as he did not claim the catch. Alex Hales survives.

16:16 IST Williamson, Hales seem to be having it easy out there. Meanwhile, either this person’s sarcasm level it too high or he is living under the rock. SRH 26/1 in 4 overs
So it’s Warner vs Steve Smith today.. #RRvSRH

16:08 IST And Dhawan departs, Gowtham takes a wicket! Seems like Dhawan’s ‘God of War’ mode is on standby.

15:45 IST Surprise entry from RR too. Local boy Mahipal Lomror makes into the side. Kiwi leg-spinner given a chance on a pitch that has barely any help for spinners. Strange decision from skipper Ajinkya Rahane. Seems like mentor Shane Warne has a soft spot for leg-spinners.

In the last match, they finally included Caribbean all-rounder Jofra Archer into the side and the results were astounding. Archer busted into the scene with his fiery yorkers followed by sensible batting with Krishnappa Gowtham towards the end of run-chase. Gowtham too proved to be a trump card for RR, something even they did not anticipate.

SRH have a few problems on their hand despite winning the previous few games. Shikhar Dhawan is struggling with his form after an injury. The bench strength of SRH has been strong, had it not been the case, they would be missing Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s services too.
