3 Players Battle To Watch Out For In The Match Between KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 Qualifier 1

Finally! We have found the four teams who will clash against each other in the playoffs of the Indian Premier League 17th edition to reach the finals on May 25th at Chepauk Stadium. After Chennai’s elimination, the Bangalore-based franchise has made it into the playoffs for the ninth time out of the 17th season of the Indian Premier League by defeating the 5-time title winners by 27 runs at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. After this game, the stage is all set for the first qualifiers between the Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad, who are in the top 2 positions with 20 and 17 points, respectively.

Talking about both the teams, the 2012 title winners played their last game against Mumbai Indians, after which they didn't get a chance to play their last 2 games as they got abandoned due to rain. Meanwhile, the 2016 title winners will be coming into this game after defeating the Punjab Kings in yesterday's game by 4 wickets at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Ahmedabad. It will be interesting to see who will emerge victorious between these teams in tomorrow's game. 

Before the match begins, let's find out who the 3 players battle to watch out from this team.

1. Sunil Narine vs Bhuvneshwar Kumar

The first player battle, which we can witness between these 2 teams, will be Hyderabad's star bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Sunil Narine, who have faced each other several times, where the all-rounder scored just 28 runs while playing 25 balls and got dismissed on 2 occasions having a strike rate of 112.

2. Heinrich Klaasen vs Mitchell Starc

Another battle we will witness in the must-win game between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad will be off South African destructive batters Heinrich Klassen and Mitchell Starc, as these are the crucial players from their respective teams.

Heinrich Klassen and Mitchell Starc have encountered each other several times, where the wicket-keeper batsman has just 37 runs while facing 40 balls. However, Starc was unable to get him out but played a crucial role in stopping the Hyderabad batter from scoring runs by bowling 15 dot balls.

3. Abhishek Sharma vs Varun Chakravarthy

On number 3, we have Sunrisers Hyderabad's opening batter Abhishek Sharma and Kolkata Knight Riders Mystery spinner Varun Chakrwarty, who has been in top-notch form in the ongoing Tata Indian Premier League by being the highest run scorer and most-wicket taker for their team.

It will be interesting to see who will win this much-anticipated battle tomorrow when these two players walk out for the main event at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Both have a great record against each other, where the South-paw batter has scored 28 runs in 14 balls with a strike rate of 200, whereas Varun has dismissed him only on 1 occasion.
