Kolkata Knight Riders & Sunrisers Hyderabad Squad Analysis
Kolkata’s biggest positive this season is that they have received contributions from the vast majority of players in their side, eliminating any case of key-man dependency. However, Sunil Narine's performance has been invaluable, as the West Indian international currently features in the top ten ranking for both batting and bowling in this year’s competition. He will likely partner Rahmanullah Gurbaz at the top of the order against here and will be crucial to supporting the likes of Chakaravarthy with the ball.
For the Sunrisers, Travis Head has been immense this year and has already scored 567 runs in the competition, including seven knocks of over 30 runs and four half-centuries. He has been supported by Abhishek Sharma, who is currently ranked ninth in the top run-scorer standings with 482. With the ball, veteran paceman Thangarasu Natarajan has been the standout performer for SRH. The left-handed quick has bagged 19 wickets in 49 overs in the tournament and has a very impressive strike-rate of 15.
