KKR vs SRH Preview: Knighters will again give deep wounds to Hyderabad, or 'Orange Army' will be strong

Cricket News Desk. After having a 8 -Wicket defeat to Mumbai -Indians in their last match, defending champion Kolkata Knight Riders will face Sunrisers Hyderabad at Eden Gardens Stadium on Thursday with a new Dawn expectancy. On the other hand, Hyderabad also wants to return to the victory’s path by defeating Kolkata on her home field and wants to reduce the pain of 8 wickets of 8 wickets in the title match of the IPL to a certain extent. Hyderabad made a brilliant debut in the tournament by beating Rajasthan in the first game, but in the second and third games they lost against Lucknow and Delhi. After losing in the first match against Bengaluru, Kolkata returned to Rajasthan in the second game, but lost in the next match against Mumbai. Kolkata is currently 10th place in the points table, while Hyderabad is 8th. Kolkata tasted the taste of Hyderabadi Biryani several times. Like the people of Kolkata like Hyderabadi Biryani, the team here also loves the taste of the victory over Hyderabad. Of the 28 games played so far between the two teams, Kolkata 19 won 19 and Hyderabad won only 9 games. Last season, Kolkata Hyderabad defeated in all three games, including the final. Kolkata is upset about the failure of its leading batsmen. Vice -Captain Venkatesh Iyer, Andre Russell and Rinku Singh worth Rs 23.75 crore are still quiet. Captain Ajinkya Rahane also calmed down after scoring half a century in the first game. The team management would expect a brilliant batting from the opening of wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock, who achieved an unbeaten 97 against Rajasthan. Sunil Narayan will also expect an explosive start. Head vs Varun Varun Hyderabad’s explosive opener Travis Head and Kolkata’s mysterious spinner Varun Chakraborty can see an exciting match in Eden. The heads are in good shape. He scored runs with his bat in the last three games. However, Varun is still not in the upper gear. He has only taken three wickets in the last three games, but it can be ‘superstitious’ in Eden. Hyderabad team will also expect a big turn from Abhishek Sharma, Ishaan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy and wicketkeeper Henrik Klassen. Ishaan played a brilliant turn of 106 runs against Rajasthan. Shami and Jeeshan will also be monitored. Hyderabad fast bowler Mohammed Shami is a local player and is well familiar with Eden’s wicket. Captain Pat Cummins and Harshal Patel are present to support him, while the young leg of Hyderabad, Zeeshan Ansari, who took three wickets in his debut match against Delhi, can also do wonders on the field of turning.
