In IPL 2021, Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad will face off in a thrilling match, and it will be a crucial match for Eoin Morgan’s side. In the UAE phase of the IPL 2021, Kolkata was on the front foot and looked extremely dangerous until they lost the previous game against Punjab Kings, which they went on to lose.
Sunrisers Hyderabad will be looking for talent from the bench, since their chances of making the IPL playoffs in 2021 have already been snuffed out. They haven’t had the finest of seasons so far, and they’ll be hoping to put a positive spin on the remaining games. They have a lot of young players in the roster, so this could be a good chance to try out some new ones.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar vs Shubman Gill:
Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been the Sunrisers Hyderabad’s pace attack captain for a long time, and he enjoys bowling in the powerplay. Over the years, his command of line and length has been outstanding, and he will be seeking for an early breakthrough. He’ll be conscious of the task posed by Shubman gill, KKR’s opening batsman.
Gill has shown flashes of brilliance, but he has also found a way to be dismissed far too frequently, which is not ideal for a player of his calibre. He’s always been labelled as one of the guys to watch in the future, and he’s already made his Indian debut, so there’s a lot riding on him. In the powerplay, he’ll have to face Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s swing bowling, which should be a fascinating duel.
Varun Chakravarthy vs Kane Williamson:
Varun Chakravarthy has been having a great time in the last two seasons of IPL and his variations have been very hard to pick for the batsman. The mystery spinner will be one of the bowlers to watch out for in the battle against Sunrisers Hyderabad as he has the ability to get through the batting order very quickly.
Kane Williamson has been a regular for the Sunrisers Hyderabad team and will continue to be an important component in the franchise’s batting lineup. At number three, he excels in the anchor role and has the ability to play the game long. Williamson is a formidable opponent for fast bowlers, and Chakravarthy will be the only one capable of unseating him.
Rashid Khan vs Rahul Tripathi
Rashid Khan has been a trump card for the Sunrisers Hyderabad team throughout the years, as he can both take wickets and contain runs from his end. With his ability to win games on his own, he offers a lot of value to the team, and he’ll be ready for the battle against the KKR batsmen.
Rahul Tripathi has been one of the top performers in the KKR batting lineup this season, and he will be looking to score big against the SRH side. He’s had a great batting rhythm, and he’ll have his work cut out for him against Rashid Khan, who hurries up the batters.
