The first return fixture of IPL 2015 is here. Rajasthan Royals face Kings XI Punjab at Sardar Patel Stadium in Ahmedabad and the match begins at 8pm IST. Watch live streaming of this match is available on Star Sports official website and HotStar mobile app. Watch live telecast on Sony Six, Set Max and Sony Pix TV channels with live Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Bengali and English commentary.

Rajasthan Royals clinched a good win over Kings XI Punjab this season. Last season it was Kings XI Punjab that emerged as winners on two ocassions. Its a good chance for RR to return favours and clinch the second match of this season.

Shane Watson has returned to RR in style. His return didn't cost the RR team a lot of shuffling. He made way into the team and scored a quick fire 70 plus score to take his team home against CSK. Good to see Ajinkya Rahane constantly scoring runs against all oppositons. He holds the 'orange cap' and he rightly deserves so! Alongwith these two even Steve Smith and Deepak Hooda has scored good runs for the team.

The team has a good bowling line up. Likes of Pravin Tambe, James Faulkner, Chris Morris and Shane Watson. They can trouble the batting line up of Kings XI Punjab.

Punjab's team haven't yet enjoyed the success they had last year. The most impactful player for them last year was Glenn Maxwell who scored 294 runs in first four matches. This year he has managed to score just 61 runs from his first four matches. That is a striking difference that also shows a dip in performance for the whole team.

Virender Sehwag has also been good in patches. He hasn't scored consistently. The only Kings XI batsman to score a half century this year is George Bailey. Even Axar Patel has not been upto the mark the way he performed last year. A lot is also expected from the likes of Mitchell Johnson, Rishi Dhawan, Murali Vijay, David Miller and many more to name.

This year RR has chased down totals here at Sardar Patel Stadium. So captain who wins the toss might be tempted to bowl first. Let us see how it goes on. Watch the action live on HotStar mobile app, Star Sports website or Sony Entertainment TV channels in India.

Rajasthan Royals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad - IPL 2015 Match 11

After a long wait, Delhi Daredevils breaks its winless streak last night! Teams like Sunrisers Hyderabad can take a lot of confidence from such a performance. Rajasthan Royals is on a roll right now and Sunrisers would love to stop Royals' juggernaut at ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam. Live telecast of this match will begin from 8pm on Sony Six, Sony Pix and Set Max in India. Live commentary will be available in Hindi, English, Bengali, Telugu and Tamil. Watch IPL 2015 live streaming on mobile through HotStar app and online through Star Sports official website in India.

Sunrisers Hyderabad have always had a strong team pitched in, especially their bowling attack. But they have always been sort of underachievers. This year they started off with a loss against Chennai Super Kings. This was followed by a morale boosting win over Royal Challengers Bangalore in their own backyard.

Sunrisers would be pleased to play here at Visakhapatnam, their home venue. They had a pre-season camp here so the players are well used to the playing conditions here. Hence the players would be keen to clinch two points here against the in form Rajasthan Royals.

Shane Watson has been unfit for first three matches. His absence hasn't affected the team's performance at all. Infact Steve Smith has lead the team with example. He has consistently scored runs with the bat. Deepak Hooda is a surprise package this year. Cricket fans and critics are impressed with his hard hitting batting style. 

SRH would eye big innings from openers Shikhar Dhawan and David Warner. Longer they bat, stronger would be their foundation. They also need to bowl well to contain strong batting line up of Rajasthan Royals.

SRH will play next against Delhi Daredevils at the same venue on 18th April. RR will face the mighty Chennai Super Kings at Ahmedabad on 19th April. As a team, India will next play Bangladesh in June - July for three ODIs and two test matches. Watch India vs Bangladesh 2015 live streaming on Star Sports in India.
