The Qualifier-2 match of IPL 2024 will be played between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals at Chepauk today (24 May). Whichever team wins this match will face Kolkata Knight Riders in the final. Under the captaincy of Pat Cummins, the Hyderabad team has shown excellent performance this season. The franchise has reached the playoffs of this season after 2020.

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s explosive batting has been a topic of discussion this year. The team scored 287 runs against Royal Challengers Bangalore, which is the highest total in IPL history. However, KKR mentor Gautam Gambhir believes that Hyderabad is the best team not only in terms of batting but also in terms of bowling, due to which their tournament has been great.

His bowling is equally brilliant- Gautam Gambhir

Gautam Gambhir, while talking on Sportskeeda’s show SK Match ki Baat, said, ‘They have quality bowlers like Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Pat Cummins and Natarajan. There is a lot of talk about their batting because they have scored such big scores. But their bowling is equally brilliant. You cannot have a good IPL season with only one department.

Rajasthan Royals is a strong team- Gautam Gambhir

Rajasthan Royals have reached the playoffs after defeating Royal Challengers Bangalore in the eliminator. The team’s performance was excellent in the first half of the league stage. But then the team lost 4 out of the last five matches, and one match was inconclusive.

Talking about the recent form of Rajasthan Royals, Gautam Gambhir said, ‘RR Were at the top of the points table for a long time. In an IPL season, there are times when you win some games that you should have lost and lose some games that you should have won. With the kind of batting and bowling they have, they are a very strong team.
