Young Pacers in Focus for SRH
Sunrisers Hyderabad will rely on promising pacers Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain, who have been impressive this season and are expected to play a key role in the contest.


CSK Boost as Sanju Samson Finds Form
Chennai Super Kings have received a timely boost with Sanju Samson returning to form. He scored an unbeaten century against Delhi Capitals and followed it up with a 48 in the win over Kolkata Knight Riders.
