Shikhar Dhawan and Parthiv Patel have looked good with the bat and have provided decent starts in the last few matches. Cameron White and Hanuma Vihari have also played their part in the middle order. Bowling has always been their strength and Dale Steyn will have to fire again for the Sunrisers. Amit Mishra, Ishant Shrama have also been good in patches. Rajasthan Royals have been rocked by the spot-fixing scandal and it will be interesting to see how they perform as a team on the field. Batting wise Ajinkya Rahane, Shane Watson and Rahul Dravid have been the main performers. However, effective performances from players like Stuart Binny, Kevon Cooper has been a major advantage for the Rajasthan Royals.
