As the 2016 IPL champions Sunrisers Hyderabad take on the inaugural season winners Rajasthan Royals at the Maharashtra Cricket Association, Pune on March 29, all eyes will be on the spin duo Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal.
In the final contest of the opening round of IPL 2022 fixtures, the Royals will be taking on Hyderabad in their season opener. Both the teams had a forgetful 2021 with a bottom-two finish.
Speaking during a ‘Gameplan’ on Star Sports, Dhawal Kulkarni said: “Ashwin and Chahal are world class bowlers who have proven themselves.
They have lots of experience behind them and have done it for their respective sides. It is going to be a tough ask for Sunrisers Hyderabad.”
