The 15th season of IPL is going to start on 26 March. This time all the matches of the league round in the tournament will be played at three grounds in Mumbai and one in Pune. Today we will tell you the SWOT analysis of two such teams which are considered to be the contenders to become the champions of this season. These teams are Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Let us tell you the analysis of the team's Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats.
Rajasthan Royals, the first champion team in IPL history, will be seen with a new attitude this time. For the upcoming season, the team retained 3 players, Sanju Samson (14 crores), Jos Buttler (10 crores), and Yashasvi Jaiswal (4 crores). During the mega auction, the team has roped in many big players. This time the management of Rajasthan Royal has bought 21 strong players for 89.05 crores to make the team better.
Strength-
Strength in the spin department: The team has spinners like Yuzvendra Chahal, R Ashwin, and KC Cariappa. Chahal and Ashwin are also the leading wicket-takers in T20 cricket for Team India. At the same time, KC Cariappa is also considered a stingy bowler in this format. Chahal's performance in IPL has also been amazing. He has taken 139 wickets in 114 matches. Ashwin can contribute to batting as well as in bowling.
Rajasthan's batting was amazing: In addition to Samson and Butler, this time the team has names like Devdutt Padikal, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shimron Hetmyer, Karun Nair and Raisie Van Der Dusen, Riyan Parag. Earlier the team used to depend on 2 to 3 players, but after the addition of these names in the auction, this shortcoming of the team has gone away.
Also, having Kumar Sangakkara in the team is nothing short of a big miracle for the young players. Sangakkara has been one of the great cricketers of the world. It was under his captaincy that the Sri Lankan team could reach the final of the 2011 ODI World Cup. He was also a part of the T20 World Cup-winning squad of 2014. He is considered one of the best captains and batsmen in the world. In such a situation, he has a lot of experience to give to the team.
Weakness
Lack of finishers: Rajasthan's biggest weakness is the lack of finishers in the team. Hetmyer may be a part of the team, but apart from him, no player seems to be the finisher of the match for Rajasthan. Hetmyer too has not established himself well as a finisher in the IPL.
Occasion
Rajasthan is looking strong team this time. If Samson's captaincy is better in the team, then this team can do wonders. Rajasthan became the champion in 2008 under the captaincy of Shane Warne, but this team has not shown that game for the last few years. This time the team looks very balanced. The team has power hitters and experienced bowlers. Just need a better leader to take the team along, if Sanju can do this then Rajasthan can surprise everyone this time.
to risk
Rajasthan's team looks amazing on paper, but will this team be able to perform well on the field as well, this is the biggest question. The Rajasthan team has had players like Butler, Samson, Archer in the past too, but the team has not been able to become the champion.
Sunrisers Hyderabad
Orange Army Sunrisers Hyderabad is also ready for IPL 2022. The team had retained Kane Williamson (14 crores), Abdul Samad (4 crores), and Umran Malik (4 crores) before the mega auction. This time too the captaincy of the team will remain with Kiwi veteran Williamson.
Strength
Speed dealers with the team: SRH has added good fast bowlers to the team in the auction. The franchise has reposed faith in Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Apart from this, Karthik Tyagi, T Natarajan, Marco Yenson, Shaun Abbott, Umran Malik, Fazlhaq Farooqui are also associated with the team. So this is the strong side of the team.
Spin Bowler + Batsman: The team has 3 players like Washington Sundar, Abhishek Sharma, and Abdul Samad who can bat as well as bowl spin. Samad and Abhishek are known to hit big.
Weakness
Team incomplete without Kane: If we look at the Hyderabad team, except Kane Williamson in the top order, no batsman can prove useful for the team, or can win the match on his own. Nicholas Pooran has been linked with the team by paying 10.75 crores to Hyderabad, but the performance of this player has been very bad for the last two seasons.
No one like Rashid: This year the best spinners like Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi have been lost by the Hyderabad team. After losing these players, the team did not add specialist spinners to the auction. Rashid used to change the dice of the match on his own. At the same time, the spin bowling of Nabi has given Hyderabad the taste of victory in the match many times.
Occasion
The team has an army of young players due to which no team would think of taking Hyderabad lightly. Fast bowlers like Umran Malik can bowl at 150 per hour. At the same time, batsmen like Abdul Samad are known for their explosive batting. Samad's strike rate is close to 150. The franchise is looking at Abhishek Sharma to bat in the top order as well as bowl spin.
to risk
Earlier, Hyderabad had the top order like Jonny Bairstow, David Warner and Kane Williamson, but this time there is no stability in the team's batting order. Orange Army has batsmen like Rahul Tripathi, Hetmyer, Markram, but now they have to prove themselves for this team.
