IPL 2015: Royal Challengers vs Sunrisers Hyderabad at Bangalore, pick of the tweets

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will play against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the eighth match of the Indian Premiere League (IPL) 2015 at Bangalore on Monday. This game will mark the second match for both teams. While RCB registered a thrilling three-wicket victory against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Eden Gardens, SRH on the other-hand slumped to a 45-run defeat in their opening game against Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

For RCB, Chris Gayle stamped his authority against his former team KKR and took his team to an exhilarating win, breaking the reigning champions’ record of 10 consecutive wins in the IPL. South Africa skipper AB de Villiers played a much needed cameo before getting out to KC Cariappa. Apart from these two stalwarts, the batting order which boasts the likes of skipper Virat Kohli, Darren Sammy and Dinesh Karthik didn’t get going.

Without Mitchell Starc, the bowling of RCB doesn’t look much threatening. Indian bowlers Abu Nechim and Yuzvendra Chahal did impress but pacers Varun Aaron and Sean Abbott proved expensive.

Add Cricket Country as a Preferred Source

On the other hand, SRH’s batting looked better than their much famed bowling. Shikhar Dhawan and David Warner gave a good start but couldn’t finish the job. That’s where it really hurt them. However, apart from Warner’s knock, no one a big partnership to manoeuvre SRH to a victory.

The clash between the two south Indian giants is expected to be an exciting encounter at Chinnaswamy Stadium. The match being played at Bangalore, RCB emerge start as favourites. Expect sixes and fours raining from the Big Jamaican’s bat as we present you the pick of the tweets.

Very well done and congratulations SRH. Below par performance by RCB at home. Both batting and bowling let RCB down. The better team won.
