KKR vs SRH Preview

Between seasons, KKR announced Gautam Gambhir’s return to the franchise, this time as a team mentor. KKR is looking so compact with their core-Indian batting lineup. Additionally, they have a very good spin attack along with Mitchell Starc’s inclusion. However, KKR’s journey was poor last season. They ended up standing at the seventh position with 6 wins and 8 losses.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are drawing significant attention with their thoroughly restructured team, which includes some of the most renowned figures in international cricket.

Spearheading the team’s ambitious overhaul is ODI World Cup-winning captain Pat Cummins, who stands as the league’s second most expensive acquisition to date. He is joined by Travis Head, both of whom played pivotal roles in their respective teams’ ODI and World Test Championship successes, aiming to restore SRH’s former prominence. The previous season saw SRH languishing at the bottom of the league table, securing only 4 victories out of 14 matches despite having a star-studded roster that included Aiden Markram, Harry Brook, Heinrich Klaasen, and Glenn Phillips.

Kolkata Knight Riders Team News

Jason Roy (personal reasons) and his compatriot Gus Atkinson (workload management) have both pulled out. They have been replaced by Phil Salt, currently the world’s No. 2 T20I batter, and Dushmantha Chameera.
There are also some concerns over Shreyas Iyer’s fitness. He did not field on the last two days of the Ranji Trophy final because of back spasms.
Batting order should remain the same.
