RR v SRH Dream11 Fantasy tips

Sanju Samson is always a risky inclusion given his boom-or-bust approach, but he can go big on his day, and is worth keeping in the side.
Jos Buttler can have trouble with early swing, and averages 9.13 against SRH in eight games. Given the credit-heavy batting list, he can be excluded.
David Warner has struggled to get going in the tournament, struggling to break free, managing an innings strike-rate of 110+ only once in six games. But he’ll still give you the 30s and 40s.
Among all-rounders, Chris Morris and Vijay Shankar are decent picks to have, as both have the knack for picking up wickets in a cluster.
Rashid Khan is a must-have (and a good captaincy pick), while Sakariya and Khaleel Ahmed, too, pick up wickets in a flurry.

Here’s the complete IPL 2021 schedule, along with TV and live streaming details.
