IPL's best power-hitters Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma will face a very different challenge in wily spin twins Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravichandran Ashwin when Sunrisers Hyderabad take on Rajasthan Royals in a high-octane second Qualifier here on Friday. 'Travishek' as the duo is affectionately called by the fans have taken power-hitting to a new level. Head (533 runs at 199.62) and Abhishek (470 at 207.04) have hit 72 sixes apart from 96 boundaries between them. If that's not enough, they have a swashbuckler in Heinrich Klaasen (413 runs at 180), who also has 34 maximums to his credit. But playing on an Uppal shirtfront that resembled a national highway or at the Kotla or Wankhede is completely from playing at the Chepauk where the strip will be sticky in nature. The ball stops and stroke-makers do have a tough time when it comes to hitting through the line. Ashwin, who has played all his cricket at this ground, knows the strip like the back of his hand and his form has improved .
Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson on Wednesday said "a few of us are not 100 percent" fit but expressed confidence that they have got the momentum back with the four-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL eliminator here.

The way we batted, bowled and fielded, I am really happy. All the credit has to go to the players," Samson said at post-match presentation. "We look at the field set and planning, the credit has to go to Sanga (Kumar Sangakkara) and the team of support staff for discussing tactics. "Ashwin and Avesh bowled tremendously well. If you look at our batting unit, there is a lot of youngsters. They are 22-years old, they are less experienced but they played well." Samson added, "A few of us are not 100%. I'm not a 100% actually. There is a bug in the dressing room
