KKR vs SRH Top 5 Player Battles

1 – Abhishek Sharma vs Andre Russell

Abhishek Sharma is scoring runs for fun in the IPL 2024 and the KKR will look to nip him out early to control the damage. The West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell has been pretty effective against the left-handed batter so far, getting his wicket twice in just 4 IPL meetings.

The fierce Aussie pacer will be up against his countryman in the powerplay, making it a must-watch battle.

3 – Heinrich Klaasen vs Varun Chakravarthy

Heinrich Klaasen is known for his prowesses to take on the spinners in the middle overs. At the same time, Varun Chakravarthy has been the most successful KKR bowler in the IPL 2024. The South African wicketkeeper-batter has dominated the mystery spinner so far in two meetings, scoring 29 runs off just 12 deliveries.

4 – Shreyas Iyer vs Pat Cummins

Being the skipper, Shreyas Iyer will be shouldering a little bit more responsibility in the absence of Phil Salt. He will be the key for the KKR in the middle overs. Meanwhile, Pat Cummins usually bowls crucial overs in the middle overs for the SRH. Shreyas Iyer has managed to win the battle against Pat Cummins so far, scoring 26 runs off 13 deliveries and this battle between the two skippers could define the course of the game.

Andre Russell is the designated finisher for the KKR, while T Natarajan usually bowls at the death for the SRH. The two players share a history against each other as Andre Russell has scored 43 runs off 26 deliveries against T Natarajan, the latter has bowled the destructive all-rounder once with a memorable yorker.
