Last Year’s Performance Summary (IPL 2024)
SRH’s Performance in IPL 2024
Sunrisers Hyderabad had a mixed campaign in IPL 2024, showing flashes of brilliance but struggling with consistency. Their batting lineup, led by Heinrich Klaasen, delivered some explosive performances, but frequent top-order collapses put pressure on the middle order. The bowling unit, spearheaded by Bhuvneshwar Kumar, had its moments but lacked support in crucial matches. Despite a strong fight, SRH fell short of the playoffs, finishing in the mid-table.
RR’s Performance in IPL 2024
Rajasthan Royals had a promising start to IPL 2024 but lost momentum towards the latter stages of the tournament. Sanju Samson played a key role with the bat, anchoring the innings on multiple occasions, while Trent Boult led the bowling attack with his early breakthroughs. However, inconsistency in finishing games and a few tactical missteps cost them in high-pressure situations. They made it to the playoffs but were eliminated in the Eliminator, leaving them with areas to improve for the new season.
