Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal (ANI Photo) Rampaging Rajasthan Royals will look to consolidate their top spot when they take on an inconsistent Sunrisers Hyderabad in an IPL clash on Monday.The Royals have been the team to beat this season, winning all four games handily. Their dominance was fueled by a destructive opening pair in Yashasvi Jaiswal and youngster Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who consistently disposed of attacks in the Powerplay. Dhruv Jurel has provided stability at No.3 while skipper Riyan Parag’s middle order remains largely untested.However, the biggest turnaround came in their bowling. Jofra Archer and Nandre Burger were incisive up front, with Ravi Bishnoi leading the wickets in the middle overs. The addition of Ravindra Jadeja further boosted their spin attack.In contrast, SRH struggled for consistency and lost three out of four games. Their hopes hinge on explosive starts from Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, while Heinrich Klaasen led the batting with 184 runs.With their bowling woes and the absence of Pat Cummins, SRH face an uphill task and will need a complete performance to halt RR’s momentum.
