We’re into Round 2 of games now at the Indian Premier League (IPL) with every team having played a game each by now. In action today is Sunrisers Hyderabad who had a losing start to their IPL 2021 season, suffering defeat at the hands of Kolkata Knight riders in their season opener where they faltered and fell short of their target of 188 by only 10 runs.
Now, they find themselves taking on a confident Royal Challengers Bangalore in Match 6 of IPL 2021 at the Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. RCB won their opening game against the defending champs Mumbai Indians but head to head, Sunrisers beat RCB 2 out of 3 times in the IPL 2020 season.

Sunrisers Hyderabad
We were not sure of Mohammad Nabi playing in the opening encounter but he bagged 2 wickets and he’s likely to keep his place, but with not many left-handers in the RCB side, we’ll keep him out. Instead, leg-spinner Rashid Khan makes our SRH vs BLR fantasy team today, maybe even as captain or vice-captain because the likes of Virat and ABD have in recent history shown to have a weakness against leg-spin.
With the bat, Manish Pandey has not been able to find his straps in this SRH batting order because of the batting-heavy overseas players they have. However, with him slotting in at #3, he seems more confident and that knock of 61 in the last game was an indicator of that too. Vijay Shankar bats low down the order and usually just bowls an over or two but his body language looked good in the last game, so I’m picking him too.
Royal Challengers Bangalore
Devdutt Padikkal was given direct entry into the IPL 2021 bubble which means he’s available to play today and Washington Sundar may lose his place as opener but we’re still picking the latter in our BatBall11 (Code “READ123“) SRH vs BLR fantasy team because international experience has boosted his confidence. If Padikkal makes his way back into the eleven, it’s Rajat Patidar who will get the axe here.

We’re happy to see Glenn Maxwell being used early in the batting order which means less of a burden on Virat and ABD and we think the Big Show could do well this season so we’re adding him to our SRH vs BLR Dream11 team today. With Harshal Patel picking a 5-fer, not many will want the millionaire Kyle Jamieson but the latter bowled well for his 1/27 on IPL debut and can be chosen today as well.
