UCL: second-string Shakhtar Donetsk humiliate Real Madrid

The Ukrainian&nbsp;club was rocked by Covid-19 and had to call up youth-team players as they were without the services of 13 first-team players

AAfter a shock home defeat against newly-promoted Cadiz&nbsp;in La Liga, Real Madrid had a forgettable start to their Champions League campaign as the&nbsp;13-time Champions were humiliated in their own backyard by a&nbsp;second-string Shakhtar Donetsk, who beat them 3-2. The Ukrainian&nbsp;club was rocked by Covid-19 and had to call up youth-team players and were without the services of 13 first-team players. But that didn't affect&nbsp;Shakhtar&nbsp;as they stunned the hosts with a 3-0 lead within&nbsp;the first-half. But a goal each by&nbsp;Luka Modric and Vinicius Junior saw&nbsp;Real pull 2 back just after half-time but their fightback was short-lived as he scoreline didn't change thereafter. The loss meant that Real have now lost 3 consecutive Champions League games for the first time in 24 years.&nbsp;

Chennai vs Rajasthan: battle for survival

Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals will have another shot at getting some momentum going as they lock horns in Abu&nbsp;Dhabi&nbsp;on Monday.

Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals will have another shot at getting some momentum going as they lock horns in Abu&nbsp;Dhabi&nbsp;on Monday. Both teams have had more failures than victories and have managed just 3 wins each from their respective 9 games. CSK&nbsp;and Royals need to win each of their remaining 5 games now in order to qualify for the playoffs on their own.&nbsp;Though batting is a concern for both the teams, one thing in Chennai's favour is the fact that they enjoy a 14-9 head-to-head record against Rajasthan. But the Royals got the better of&nbsp;CSK&nbsp;in a high-scoring game in Sharjah&nbsp;earlier in the tournament. Come Monday, both sides will fight for survival.

SRH vs KKR: battle for a berth in the top 4

Kolkata Knight Riders and the Sunrisers&nbsp;Hyderabad, two teams which are desperately looking to get their campaigns back on track will lock horns in Abu Dhabi&nbsp;in first game of a super Sunday.

Kolkata Knight Riders and the Sunrisers&nbsp;Hyderabad, two teams which are desperately looking to get their campaigns back on track will lock horns in Abu Dhabi&nbsp;in first game of a super Sunday. KKR&nbsp;and SRH&nbsp;have been inconsistent&nbsp;so far, having won 4 and 3 games respectively from their 8 games each. Though both sides are coming off 2 consecutive losses but the Knight Riders may take heart from the fact that they got the better of Sunrisers&nbsp;the last time they&nbsp;played against each other. Newly appointed skipper Eoin&nbsp;Morgan's captaincy will once again be put to test as KKR&nbsp;need to address their batting woes soon to bounce back. Hyderabad have too failed to put forward a dependable middle order which has dented their campaign. Both sides will look to exploit each other's weakness in order to strengthen their grip on that number 4 spot.

How Covid-19 pandemic has complicated India's fight against hunger

2020 marks the 75th anniversary of UN's&nbsp;World Food Day, highlighting access to safe and nutritious food&nbsp;as an essential part of our response to Covid-19.&nbsp; &nbsp;
One of the biggest food producers in the world, India is ironically enough, home to the largest population of hungry people in the world.&nbsp;
The nation ranks 102nd among 117 countries on the Global Hunger Index. Despite industrial and economic growth, the nation fails to feed its citizens.&nbsp;According to FAO estimates, 14% of India's population or&nbsp;189.2mn people are undernourished.&nbsp;Further, 34.7% of children under five in India are stunted or too short for their age and 20% weigh too low for their height.&nbsp;
In a grave contrast, nearly one-third of the food produced in the world gets wasted every year. 40% of fruits and vegetables and 30% of cereals produced for consumption in India are lost due to ineffective supply chain management every year.
The problem of hunger is dangerous, it remains the biggest cause of death in the world, followed by cancer and AIDS. In India alone, 7,000 people die every day of hunger and 25 lakh&nbsp;die every year.
And things could get much, much worse this year.&nbsp;The nationwide lockdown announced in March to curb Covid-19&nbsp;brought&nbsp;India's already fragile and fragmented food supply chain to a screeching halt.
Labour shortage, misinformation, logistical constraints and partial lockdowns&nbsp;are amplifying the already strained food market and the poverty-stricken farmers.
For the world's biggest democracy, hunger remains the biggest problem amid the pandemic.&nbsp;

10,000 ineligible names to be deleted from final NRC in Assam

PTI,&nbsp;Guwahati:&nbsp;Around 10,000 names will be deleted from the final NRC in Assam as many "ineligible persons" and their descendants were included in the list, according to a directive issued by its state coordinator Hitesh Dev Sarma and officials in the know of the decision.
Sarma wrote to all the Deputy Commissioners and District Registrar of Citizen Registration (DRCR) on Tuesday, directing them to issue speaking orders for the deletion of such names.
"...as per the reports received from your end through Webform, some names of ineligible persons belonging to the categories of DF (declared foreigners)/DV ('D' voters)/PFT (pending in Foreigners Tribunals) along with their descendants have found entry to the NRC," he said.
Sarma directed the district officials to issue orders for deletion of such names from the NRC as per Clause 4(6) of the Schedule under the Citizenship (Registration of Citizens and Issue of National Identity Cards) Rules, 2003 after "specifically ascertaining the identity of the person".
Explaining the rule and some other relevant clauses, Sarma pointed out that the authorities concerned can verify and include or exclude any name at any time before the publication of the final NRC.
Though the final National Register of Citizens for Assam was made public in August last year, it is yet to be notified by the Registrar General of India, leaving the historic and controversial document without any official validity.
"You are, therefore, requested to submit the list of such persons who are not eligible for having their names in the NRC along with speaking order justifying reasons for each cases for necessary action for deletion of such names," Sarma said in the letter.
A software application for submission of the reviewed results of such persons along with mechanism for uploading of the scanned freshly written speaking orders will be rolled out shortly, he added.
"The verification would mandatorily require the correct identity of the person so that no ambiguity arises in future as far as identification of the person is concerned," the letter to the districts said.
Though the letter did not mention how many people will be excluded, persons in the know of the development said that around 10,000 people have been identified whose names were "wrongly included" in the final NRC and will now be excluded.
"This is a mix of all communities. The figure looks a bit big because it includes the descendants of the persons from the three categories mentioned in the letter," a source said.
The final NRC was released on August 31 last year, excluding the names of 19,06,657 persons. A total of 3,11,21,004 names were included out of 3,30,27,661 applicants.
After the publication of the final NRC, almost all stakeholders and political parties criticised it as a faulty document, alleging exclusion of indigenous people and the inclusion of illegal immigrants.
On August 31 this year, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Chandra Mohan Patowary said in the Assembly that the Assam government had submitted an affidavit in the Supreme Court for re-verification of 20 per cent names in districts bordering Bangladesh and 10 per cent in the rest.

Bengal poll: 'Shah's visit to Siliguri before Durga Puja cancelled'

In a significant development ahead of the 2021 Assembly polls, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has postponed his visit to West Bengal. A News18 report quoting sources said that due to unavoidable reasons, Shah won't be visiting the state on October 17. BJP President JP Nadda will instead pay a visit two days later. Shah was to visit Bengal after Durga Puja and meet party leaders in South Bengal. With the 2021 Assembly polls in mind, both Trinamool Congress and the BJP are working hard to outdo each other. The state BJP has raised the political temperature with its &lsquo;Nabanna Chalo Abhijan&rsquo; earlier in August 8 and now plans to take it forward with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's virtual address to people on October 22.

Part of a mission: Rajnath hits out at China amid Ladakh row

After Pakistan, China is also creating a dispute at the border with India as if it was part of a "mission", Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Monday, as Indian and Chinese troops remain locked in a standoff in eastern Ladakh for over five months

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Monday that after Pakistan, China is also creating a dispute at the border with India as if it was part of a "mission". His remark came as Indian and Chinese troops remain locked in a standoff in eastern Ladakh for over five months.&nbsp;The defence minister, speaking at an online event after inaugurating 44 bridges, said India is not only facing the situations along the frontiers resolutely, but it is also bringing in major development including in border areas. A majority of these bridges are expected to significantly improve movement of troops in areas along the border with China in Ladakh, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh sectors.
Rajnath&nbsp;slams China on Ladakh border dispute Part of China's mission to create dispute: Rajnath 'Major development along the frontiers with China' 44 bridges to improve troop movement: Rajnath

PTI,&nbsp;New Delhi: After Pakistan, China is also creating a dispute at the border with India as if it was part of a "mission", Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Monday, as Indian and Chinese troops remain locked in a standoff in eastern Ladakh for over five months.
The defence minister, speaking at an online event after inaugurating 44 bridges, said India is not only facing the situations along the frontiers resolutely, but it is also bringing in major development including in border areas.
"You are well aware of the conditions created along our northern and eastern borders. First it was Pakistan, and now also by China, as if a border dispute is being created under a mission. We have a border of about 7,000 km with these countries where the tension continues," Singh said.
The defence minister was speaking after inaugurating the bridges built in strategically key areas of Ladakh, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir.
A majority of these bridges are expected to significantly improve movement of troops in areas along the border with China in Ladakh, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh sectors, officials said.
Both India and China held a series of diplomatic and military talks to resolve the border standoff. However, no breakthrough has been achieved to defuse the situation.
Singh said in the challenging times of COVID-19 and despite the border tensions and disputes caused by Pakistan and China, the country was not only resolutely facing them but also bringing about historical changes in all sectors of development.
The defence minister also laid the foundation stone for Nechiphu Tunnel in Arunachal Pradesh. This 450 metre-long tunnel would ensure all-weather connectivity across Nechiphu pass.
The bridges inaugurated by Singh included 10 in Jammu and Kashmir, eight in Ladakh, two in Himachal Pradesh, four each in Punjab and Sikkim and eight each in Uttarakhand and Arunachal Pradesh.
In his address, Singh complimented the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) for their achievements in improving infrastructure in border areas and said that dedication of 44 bridges in one go in itself was a record.
He said the annual budget of BRO that varied from Rs 3,300 crore to Rs 4,600 crore in years between 2008 and 2016, saw a substantial rise and is pegged at over Rs 11,000 crore in 2020-21.
"There was no reduction of this budget despite COVID-19," he said Singh said construction of the bridges will benefit both the civilian population as well as the military in the areas.
"Our armed forces personnel are deployed in large numbers in areas where transport is not available throughout the year," he said, noting improvement in border infrastructure will significantly help armed forces.
"These roads are not only for strategic needs, but they also reflect equal participation of all stakeholders in the development of the nation," Singh said.
The defence minister praised the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) for working tirelessly even during the coronavirus-triggered lockdown period.
The defence ministry said despite unprecedented snowfall breaking a 60-year record, all strategic passes and roads were cleared for traffic about one month before their average yearly opening dates.
"I am happy to know that over 2,200 kilometers of roads have been cut by the BRO during the last two years, using the latest technologies, and state-of-the-art equipment. Also, surfacing was carried out on about 4200 kms of roads," he added.
Amid the border standoff with China, India is expediting work on several key projects including on a strategic road linking Darcha in Himachal Pradesh with Ladakh that will criss-cross a number of high-altitude snow-bound passes.
The nearly 290-km-long road will be crucial for the movement of troops and heavy weaponry into the frontier bases of the Ladakh region and will provide a crucial link to the Kargil region.&nbsp;

China amassed 60,000 troops on India border: Pompeo

China has amassed 60,000 troops on India's northern border, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said, slamming&nbsp;Beijing for its "bad behaviour"

China has amassed 60,000 troops on India's northern border, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said. Pompeo also hit out at Beijing for its "bad behaviour" and the threats it poses to the Quad countries. "The Indians are seeing 60,000 Chinese soldiers on their northern border,&rdquo; Pompeo told The Guy Benson Show in an interview on Friday after his return from Tokyo wherein he attended the second Quad ministerial with his counterparts from India, Japan and Australia.

Washington, PTI: China has amassed 60,000 troops on India's northern border, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said as he hit out at Beijing for its "bad behaviour" and the threats it poses to the Quad countries.
The foreign ministers from the Indo-Pacific nations known as the Quad group - the US, Japan, India and Australia - met in Tokyo on Tuesday in what was their first in-person talks since the coronavirus pandemic began.
The meeting took place in the backdrop of China's aggressive military behaviour in the Indo-Pacific, South China Sea and along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh.
"The Indians are seeing 60,000 Chinese soldiers on their northern border,&rdquo; Pompeo told The Guy Benson Show in an interview on Friday after his return from Tokyo wherein he attended the second Quad ministerial with his counterparts from India, Japan and Australia.
"I was with my foreign minister counterparts from India, Australia, and Japan &ndash; a format that we call the Quad, four big democracies, four powerful economies, four nations, each of whom has real risk associated with the threats imposed &ndash; attempting to be imposed by the Chinese Communist Party. And they see it in their home countries too," he said.
Pompeo met External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar in Tokyo on Tuesday and they underscored the need to work together to advance, peace, prosperity and security in the Indo-Pacific and around the globe. He described his meeting with Jaishankar as "productive." "They see, the people of their (Quad) nations understanding that we all slept on this for too long. For decades, the West allowed the Chinese Communist Party to walk all over us. The previous administration bent a knee, too often allowed China to steal our intellectual properties and the millions of jobs that came along with it. They see that in their country too," he said in the interview.
In another interview with Larry O&rsquo;Connor, Pompeo said in his meetings with his counterparts from Japan, India and Australia, they began to develop a set of understandings and policies that can jointly take these countries to work to present a true resistance to the threats that the Chinese Communist Party poses to each of these nations.
"They absolutely need the United States to be their ally and partner in this fight," he said.
"But they&rsquo;ve all seen it, whether it&rsquo;s the Indians, who are actually having a physical confrontation with the Chinese up in the Himalayas in the northeastern part of India, the Chinese have now begun to amass huge forces against India in the north," he said.
India and China are locked in a bitter border standoff in eastern Ladakh since early May that has significantly strained the bilateral ties.

Can SRH continue winning momentum vs Mumbai?

Sunrisers Hyderabad will look to carry forward their newly found momentum when they take on the Mumbai&nbsp;Indians in Sharjah&nbsp;in the first game of the super Sunday.

Sunrisers Hyderabad will look to carry forward their newly found momentum when they take on the Mumbai&nbsp;Indians in Sharjah&nbsp;in the first game of the super Sunday.&nbsp;After losing their first 2 games, SRH&nbsp;bounced back in style winning the next 2 games. Defending Champions&nbsp;Mumbai&nbsp;Indians&nbsp;on the other hand have too shown that they mean business as after losing one game,&nbsp;Rohit&nbsp;Sharma's&nbsp;men won one and then repeated the pattern in the next 2 outings.&nbsp;Interestingly, both these sides are even in their head-to-head record. In 14 games so far, Mumbai and Hyderabad have won 7 games each. With their youngsters stepping up in the previous game, SRH's&nbsp;middle-order now looks settled, something which the Mumbai&nbsp;Indians need to be aware off.&nbsp;

Virat Kohli finds form as RCB thrash Rajasthan

Virat&nbsp;Kohli and Padikkal score a half-century each, helping Royal Challengers Bangalore thrash Rajasthan&nbsp;Royals by 8 wickets

Royal Challengers Bangalore's dream run in IPL 2020 continued as they thrashed Rajasthan Royals by 8 wickets to register their 3rd win in 4 games so far. Royals' decision to bat first backfired as they were reduced to 31/3. Youngsters fought back for Rajasthan as Mahipal Lomror's 47 and a fiery 12-ball-24 by Rahul Tewatia powered them to 154/6. In reply, Bangalore lost Aaron Finch early for 8 but young sensation Devdytt Padikkal continued to impress and slammed his 3rd fifty in 4 games. Virat Kohli too found his mojo back and after 3 failures, he guided RCB to a clinical win with an unbeaten 72. They next take on the Delhi Capitals on Monday.

Can Dhoni inspire CSK to fightback vs the Sunrisers?

Head-to-head,&nbsp;Sunrisers Hyderabad have won just 3 of their 12 games vs CSK, their worst against any side in the IPL.

After 2 disappointing losses, Chennai Super kings will look to turn their fortunes around as they take on Sunrisers&nbsp;Hyderabad in Dubai on Friday.&nbsp;CSK usually enjoy a good run in almost all the seasons of the IPL&nbsp;but&nbsp;Dhoni's men&nbsp;find themselves in a sticky situation this time around as they have failed to find a winning combination. Hyderabad too didin't have the best of starts but the Sunrisers&nbsp;came back stronger in their previous encounter vs Delhi Capitals. But in order to keep the momentum going, they would need to defy history.&nbsp;In 12 times these 2 teams have squared off against each other,&nbsp;Sunrisers Hyderabad have won just 3, which is their worst against any side in the IPL. It may have happened in the past but may just motivate CSK,&nbsp;who are languishing at the bottom of the table.

IPL's Top 5 retired super stars 

IPL&nbsp;is that time of the year when fans get an opportunity to get a glimpse of the veteran&nbsp;stars back in action. Here are top 5 of the retired cricketers to watch out for this season.

IPL's top 5 retired super stars 

&nbsp;
Though IPL is seen as a platform for the rising stars in cricket but it also gives fans an opportunity to have a glimpse of their favourite stars who have retired. Here is a list of top 5 retired cricketers to feature in this season.&nbsp;
 Number 5: Dale Steyn (RCB)
They say that the shelf life of a fast bowler isn't beyond 35 years but Dale Steyn&nbsp;is determined to disprove the common notion. Just like his international career, Steyn's&nbsp;IPL&nbsp;career has too been injury-prone and the pacer has played just 9 IPL&nbsp;games since 2015. He was forced to withdraw from the last edition as well due to injury but he made an impact in the 2 games he played and picked 4 crucial wickets.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Number 4: Shane Watson (CSK)
The only veteran of the mighty Aussie team of the 2000s to still feature in the IPL&nbsp;is Shane Watson. With few key members of the Chennai Super Kings having withdrawn from the league, Watto's&nbsp;role becomes even more crucial. In the 2 seasons he has played for CSK, Watson has smashed 398 and 555 runs. It includes 2 centuries in the 2018 edition with one of it coming in the final.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Number 3: AB de Villiers (RCB)
IPL&nbsp;will be a perfect platform to assess the form of someone like&nbsp;AB de Villiers who&nbsp;has&nbsp;expressed his willingness to come out of retirement to be a part of South Africa's World T20 squad. After Virat, RCB's&nbsp;hopes usually depend on ABD&nbsp;and Mr. 360 has very often helped his side over the finish line from an unthinkable position. He is the only batsman to have a strike rate of over 150 among players to have played over 150 IPL&nbsp;games. Apart from that de Villiers&nbsp;has smashed 212 sixes in the cash-rich league, 2nd most in the history of IPL.
Number 2: Chris Gayle (KXIP)
Talking about clearing the rope and no one does it with more ease than the Caribbean&nbsp;powerhouse Chris Gayle. The Jamaican&nbsp;tops the list with 326 sixes in the IPL. If he gets going with KL Rahul&nbsp;for Kings XI Punjab at the top, any ground can become a bowlers' graveyard. Gayle has smashed 490 and 368 runs in the 2 seasons he has played for Punjab and despite being 40, there's hardly a chink in his armour. Gayle also holds the record for most IPL&nbsp;centuries with 6 tons so far.
Number 1 : MS Dhoni (CSK)
One player who usually featured in most top&nbsp;batsmen lists over the years is MS Dhoni. Never the less, Dhoni&nbsp;still has a lot to offer despite retiring from international cricket. With CSK&nbsp;going through a crisis, Captain cool is probably what the doctor ordered for the yellow brigade.&nbsp;Dhoni has not only led CSK&nbsp;to 3 IPL&nbsp;titles but has also been their batting powerhouse. He is the second-highest run-getter for CSK, scoring&nbsp;4432 runs at a healthy average of over 42. Dhoni&nbsp;has smashed&nbsp;over 400 runs&nbsp;at a staggering strike rate in each of the last 2 editions of the IPL, which shows that he is ageing just like a fine wine.&nbsp;

Will fight every conspiracy to malign Maharashtra: Uddhav 

&nbsp;Facing flak from detractors on both political and coronavirus fronts, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday said a conspiracy is afoot to malign Maharashtra

Facing flak from detractors on both political and coronavirus fronts, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday said a conspiracy is afoot to malign Maharashtra. He said he will face whatever political storm that comes his way and will fight the pandemic too.&nbsp;said in a televised public address. He said he will will have to remove the mask of Chief Minister to respond to politics and remaining silent&nbsp;doesn't mean he don't have answers.&nbsp;Uddhav said the pandemic is showing no sign of a respite and the virus is spreading in rural Maharashtra as well.

PTI,&nbsp;Mumbai:&nbsp;Facing flak from detractors on both political and coronavirus fronts, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday said a conspiracy is afoot to malign Maharashtra.
"Whatever political storms come, I will face... I will fight coronavirus too," Thackeray said in a televised public address.
A day after COVID-19 cases in Maharashtra crossed the 10-lakh mark, Thackeray said his government has done effective work to tackle the pandemic.
Speaking in the backdrop of political criticism over demolition of actress Kangana Ranaut's bungalow in Mumbai and the way his government handled the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, Thackeray assured people that he would fight the political crisis too.
"I will have to remove the mask of Chief Minister to respond topolitics. I don't speak doesn't mean I don't have answers," Thackeray said.
Speaking on the state government's "Mission Begin Again" campaign during the pandemic, Thackeray said his administration effectively tackled the COVID-19 situation, cyclones and floods andwill also deal withthe political stormwith people's support.
Thackeray said the pandemic is showing no sign of a respite and the virus is spreading in rural Maharashtra as well. "But the number of patients recovering is also more.
Facts and figures show that if detected early, all patients recover fast," he said.
Asking people not to take the pandemic lightly, he said wearing masks, observing physical distancing, avoiding crowding and face-to-face contact with people is the only option as of now.
"We have slowly started to open up under Mission Begin Again. Some people think they can indulge in politics as part of Mission Begin Again. There is a conspiracy to defame and malign Maharashtra," he said.
He said the state government also reached out to the affected people during Nisarga cyclone and the floods in east Vidarbha and provided relief.
"Over 29 lakh farmers have benefited through the farm loan waiver scheme and Rs 700 crore have been disbursed towards relief and rehabilitation of those affected by the Nisarga cyclone," he said, adding Rs 18 crore have been given as immediate relief for floods in Vidarbha.
Thackeray said his government was doing its best to deal with all challenges.
"We should share our responsibilities to make the "my family, my responsibility" campaign (against coronavirus) which begins on September 15 a success. This war can be won only with people's wholehearted support," he said.
It is not feasible for the government to undertake checkup of each and every one of the 12 crore populace of the state, he said.
The Supreme Court's interim stay on implementation of the Maratha quota was unexpected, Thackeray said.
The Maratha quota bill was unanimously passed by the state legislature and the legal team hired by the previous BJP-led state government was arguing in the apexcourt, he said.
Thackeray appealed to Maratha organisations to refrain from holding protests and demonstrations during the pandemic.
"The government is firmly with the cause of justice to Maratha community and is working on how to proceed ahead. I have spoken to Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis who is in Bihar now and he has assured the BJP's complete support," he said.
A decision on extension of the lockdown would depend on how the people follow the pandemic protocols, he said.
"While using public transport, don't speak, avoid face-to-face contact," he said.
On criticism that he doesn't venture out, Thackeray said , "I have been using technology to reach out to all parts of the state to review the pandemic situation and issue directives."&nbsp;

Will the 'sun rise' for Hyderabad in a tough-looking season?

Can Hyderabad fix their middle-order conundrum and go all the way for their 2nd title?

Sunrisers&nbsp;Hyderabad have been a team to watch out for since making their debut in the cash-rich league in 2013. The Sunrisers&nbsp;made it to the playoffs in their very first season and became champions in 2016. Having&nbsp;made the playoffs in each of the previous 4 editions, the Sunrisers fell just 1 step short of clinching&nbsp;what would have been their 2nd title 2 years ago.
Their biggest strength is the explosive opening-pair of David Warner and Jonny&nbsp;Bairstow. The pair gives a flying start and even if one of them fails, Kane Williamson at number 3 is is SRH's&nbsp;Mr Dependable.&nbsp;
But their strength sometimes turns out to be their weakness too. Over-dependence on the openers leave them with an unexposed middle-order which often triggers a batting collapse in case the top order fails. &nbsp;
SRH have also given the captaincy reigns back to Warner this time around, the same man under which they won their only title. With Williamson in charge, their 4 overseas slots were pre-decided with Warner, Bairstow, Williamson and Rashid Khan. The move will free up one slot and Hyderabad can float in&nbsp;Mohammad Nabi or Fabien Allen to strengthen the middle-order whenever required, in place of Williamson.
Another area of&nbsp;strength is their bowling. With Bhuvneshwar&nbsp;Kumar,&nbsp;Khaleel Ahmed, Sandeep Sharma, Siddharth Kaul&nbsp;and&nbsp;Basil Thampi, they probably have the best Indian fast bowling group in the competition. With spinners&nbsp;Rashid&nbsp;Khan and&nbsp;Shahbaz Nadeem, and all-rounders&nbsp;Nabi,&nbsp;Vijay Shankar&nbsp;and an in-form Mitchell Marsh, Hyderabad have a luxury&nbsp;of playing around with different bowling combinations according to different surfaces.
The team&nbsp;clearly has several match-winners in their ranks and if Sunrisers&nbsp;can fix their middle-order conundrum, they for sure can title contenders.&nbsp;
