They finished on the eighth and the seventh position respectively in IPL 2020 and 2019. This year, the RR team is playing with a new captain in form of Sanju Samson who is replacing Steve Smith. SRH on the other hand have performed quite well in recent years. They won their maiden IPL title in 2016 and reached the finals in 2018.
