Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals, Qualifier 2 – Varun Aaron’s Analysis

Let's see what Varun Aaron’s analysis has to say about the Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals, Qualifier 2.

Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals are confronting each other in the Qualifier 2. Winning team will proceed to play the IPL 2024 Final against Kolkata Knight Riders.

SRH was placed in the second position in the league but then lost against KKR in Qualifier 1. Meanwhile, RR defeated RCB in the Eliminator. Let's see which one of them is entering the finals to clash with KKR.

It is the second time that both are confronting each other in the League. In their recent clash, Sunrisers won the match by 1 run.

The face-off between Heinrich Klaasen and Yuzvendra Chahal is the highlight of the Qualifier 2 contest. Yuzvendra has been going through a poor performance phase against Sunrisers, in their last match, Chahal had to leave the pitch without taking a wicket, at the same time, the spinner gifted 62 runs to the opposing team.

Klaasen was the major reason why Chahal incurred higher runs. Klaasen hit 2 sixes to Chahal and scored 42 off 19 balls. Chahal is looking forward to bringing back that lost charm.

Former Indian cricketer Varun Aaron analyzed the clash between Chahal and Klaasen. Varun is ready with some advice on this for Chahal.

"It's an interesting one. I think Yuzi will want to redeem himself after the last game they played against each other. I think he went for 62 in his four overs. He is generally not used to going for so many runs, and he will have to come back from that," he said.

"Knowing Yuzi, he is just going to go wide to Klaasen, wide slow. One thing we have been talking about Yuzi is that he is not turning the ball enough. He will look to turn the ball to Klaasen. If he is going to bowl flat or full, which is what he has been doing, Klaasen is going to smack him. So, he is going to have to resort to Chahal of the first half of the IPL, bring those parts back and actually turn the ball a little. The Chepauk might be the ideal place to start turning the ball," he further added.

In the current season of the Indian Premier League, Yuzvendra Chahal has taken 18 wickets in 14 matches, whereas Klaasen has scored 413 runs in 14 matches with a 180.34 strike rate.
