Hello and welcome to zeenews.com. Catch all the updates from the match between SRH and RR (Hyderabad vs Rajasthan) to be played at the Uppal Stadium in Hyderabad on Monday. See scores here. While Hyderabad have been the powerhouse of the IPL, Rajasthan like CSK, will be making their comeback to the league after two years. They were the second team alongside CSK which was banned for two years following the spot-fixing scandal. Rajasthan got a big blow days before their comeback game as their skipper Steve Smith was banned by Cricket Australia for ball-tampering in South Africa. Ajnkya Rahane was handed the reins for the eleventh edition of the IPL. SRH, too suffered from the similar incident as their skipper, David Warner, too was forced to miss cricket for 12-months after found guilty in the ball tampering incident. In his absence, Hyderabad named Kiwi Kane Williamson as their leader.

With 36 needed in the next ten overs, Dhawan kept going after the RR bowling. So with 4.1 overs to spare, SRH completed a 9-wicket win over RR with Dhawan unbeaten on 77 while Williamson going back not out on 35. SRH made a winning start.

With 9 fours and a six, Dhawan reached his fifty in just 34 balls. He crunched Ben Stokes through point followed by another cracker through cover for twin boundaries. In the last over of Stokes as well, Dhawan had collected couple of boundaries. Williamson has allowed Dhawan to take the lead and has now taken the back set. He has cut down all the risk and just wants to safely reach the target. This looks SRH day completely and the way mishits have reached the boundary, it looks they will reach the target under 15 overs. In ten overs SRH were 89/1.
