Coach Moody cautions SRH against taking Rajasthan Royals lightly

Sunrisers Hyderabad coach Tom Moody Friday cautioned his team against taking Rajasthan Royals lightly in the absence of top players such as Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes in the opposition ranks.

Hoping to inch closer to securing a playoff berth, Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League here Saturday.

"I wouldn't say that they are a weakened side because if I lose players it also presents opportunities to those who are hungry. You cannot underestimating your opponent. The fringe players only need a lucky break to shine," Moody said at the pre-match press conference.

The former Australian all-rounder added, "Therefore, regardless of who has come and who has gone in Rajasthan's line- up, we know that they are a dangerous side, and particularly at home."
"We have four games left and have to win majority of those, most of the teams in the middle are in that position. We know that Rajasthan are coming off a win but they are also coming from back-to-back games, had a travel day today and have lost a few players to World Cup commitments."
