KKR and SRH are set for an exciting clash in the first qualifier at Narendra Modi Stadium on Tuesday. Both teams are strong contenders in the IPL, promising a thrilling match.
KKR, despite losing Phil Salt, still has powerful players like Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, and Rinku Singh. SRH, on the other hand, boasts talents like Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Heinrich Klaasen. The pitch might favor batsmen, making for an exciting game.
If the pitch helps spinners, KKR could have an edge with Narine and Varun Chakravarthy. However, SRH has struggled with spin before. KKR also needs to shake off rust after a ten-day break, but Nitish Rana’s return strengthens their batting.
In their last meeting, KKR won thanks to Harshit Rana. SRH has since improved, adding Rahul Tripathi to their lineup. Key players like Rinku Singh and T Natarajan could make a big impact.
Both teams aim to secure a spot in the final, making this match highly anticipated. Here’s the lineup:
KKR: Sunil Narine, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Shreyas Iyer (capt), Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, Mitchell Starc, Anukul Roy/Vaibhav Arora, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakravarthy
SRH: Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Rahul Tripathi, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Shahbaz Ahmed, Abdul Samad, Sanvir Singh, Pat Cummins (captain), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, T Natarajan
