Sunrisers Hyderabad opened their campaign with a comprehensive 9-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals in Hyderabad. Chasing a target of 126 runs, SRH went over the line with 25 balls to spare in the innings. Shikhar Dhawan chipped in with an unbeaten 77 while skipper Kane Williamson who replaced David Warner as the skipper remained not out on 36.
