IPL 2022: Picks for the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad

 

Kolkata Knight Riders will lock horns against Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on each other in the 61st match of the Indian Premier League at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune on Saturday. Both of these teams are still in the playoff race but they need to win their remaining matches.

We take a look at Picks for the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad. We will look at current form, head-to-head records, stats, and players to look out for in the upcoming match.

Current form for SRH: L L L L W

SRH have lost their last four matches and they haven’t been at their best. The Orange Army has failed to tick the right boxes after winning five matches on the trot. The Kane Williamson-led team needs to come up with a collective effort in the field to stay in contention for the last four.

Current form for KKR: W L W L L

KKR has also been inconsistent but the win in their last game would have added a shot in their arm. The two-time champions haven’t been at their best with the bat and they need to be more consistent as a batting unit in the remaining two league stage matches.

Head to Head: Matches: 22, Won by KKR: 14, Won by SRH: 8.

KKR clearly holds the wood on SRH in the head-to-head contest.

Players to look out for: Shreyas Iyer, Varun Chakravarthy, Umesh Yadav, Sunil Narine, and Andre Russell will be the crucial players for KKR.

Kane Williamson, Rahul Tripathi, Nicholas Pooran, Aiden Markram, T Natarajan, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar will hold the key for SRH.

Kolkata Knight Riders Probable Playing XI: Ajinkya Rahane, Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer (c), Nitish Rana, Sheldon Jackson (wk), Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Shivam Mavi, Tim Southee, Pat Cummins, Varun Chakravarthy.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Probable XI: Rahul Tripathi, Abhishek Sharma, Kane Williamson (c), Nicholas Pooran (wk), Aiden Markram, Shashank Singh, J Suchith, Marco Jansen, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan, Umran Malik.
