Hyderabad vs Rajasthan: The Battle of the Underdogs
Team Rajasthan had a miserable 2020 Indian T20 League, where they finished with the wooden spoon. Their performance in the last few years has been disappointing. The team hasn’t managed to reach a single final since their title-winning campaign in the inaugural season in 2008. This year, they are trying to win the league under the captaincy of Sanju Samson, who has replaced Steve Smith. Hyderabad, on the other hand, have been one of the consistent teams, who have reached the play-offs six times since 2013. Team Hyderabad won their maiden title in 2016.

Team Hyderabad and Rajasthan Full Squad for Indian T20 League 2021
- Team Hyderabad Squad
- Team Rajasthan Squad
Few teams rely as heavily on their foreign players as Hyderabad do. David Warner and Kane Williamson have been vital to their recent success. With Bhuvneshwar Kumar struggling to meet the standards of old, the bowling depends greatly on Rashid Khan’s wily leg spin. West Indian Shane Rutherford has replaced the prolific Jonny Bairstow in the squad. Here are some players who can play a key role for Team Hyderabad this season:
After a dismal performance last year, Team Rajasthan had entered the tournament with much enthusiasm under a new captain but were jolted by two huge setbacks. When the T20 league resumes, Rajasthan will enter the field without Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes. They have roped in Evin Lewis and Oshane Thomas as replacements for Buttler and Stokes respectively.
