The 10th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) kicks off on Wednesday (5 April) with a clash between champions Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and runners-up Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

RCB have been severely hit with injury troubles ahead of the start of their campaign with a number of key players missing. They will be without star duo Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers for the opening game, while K L Rahul has been ruled out for the entire tournament. Young batting sensation Sarfaraz Khan is also likely to miss the entire season after being stretchered off during a warm-up match.

SRH do not have any such troubles and will have a full strength team to choose from for their opening game at their home stadium. The only absentee will be Mustafizur Rahman, who is with his national team – Bangladesh, who are touring Sri Lanka – but the pacer is likely to be back for their second game against Gujarat Lions on 9 April.
