Kolkata Knight Riders will face Sunrisers Hyderabad at Eden Gardens, Kolkata today at 7.30 PM in the IPL 2023. It promises to be an exciting contest as KKR would be high on confidence after Rinku Singh’s five successive sixes. KKR is currently at the number 4th spot and would look to rise in the points table. On other hand, SRH would look to perform as they are at the number 9th spot.
On other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad won their first match of the tournament defeating Punjab Kings comfortably at home. Both teams would look to provide an exciting game in front of a capacity crowd in Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
Both teams have top-quality batters that can change the course of the game and help them win matches.
Here we look at 3 Players who will score the most runs between KKR and SRH
- Aiden Markram
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s newly appointed captain Aiden Markram had a terrible start to the tournament dismissed without opening his account against Lucknow Super Giants. He then showed his class with an unbeaten 37 off 21 deliveries with 6 fours and helped SRH register comfortable 8-wicket win over Punjab Kings.
Markram played attacking shots on both sides of the ground and did not allow PBKS bowlers to settle. He had a great outing after brilliant ODI series against Netherlands.
He would be eager to showcase his might against Kolkata Knight Riders and if he can score big runs then SRH has a chance upset KKR at their own den.
- Venkatesh Iyer
Venkatesh Iyer came as an impact player in the match against Gujarat Titans played at Ahmedabad. Chasing down 205 runs, KKR lost 2 early wickets before Venkatesh Iyer showed his class putting enough pressure on GT bowlers.
He showed his class with 83 off 40 deliveries including 8 boundaries and 5 sixes. It was a superb partnership between Iyer and Rana to rescue KKR.
His knock against Gujarat Titans will help him to score runs when he would take the park against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Known for his front foot and backfoot shots at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, Iyer could become the top run-getter in this match.
- Rahul Tripathi
Rahul Tripathi played a match winning knock against Punjab Kings remaining unbeaten on 74 off 48 balls with 10 boundaries and 3 sixes helped SRH chase down modest target of 144.
His ability to play aggressive shots makes him a tough batter to bowl at. He has featured for KKR previously and would be eager to do well against the former IPL side that he played.
Tripathi looked impressive in the previous match against KKR and helped SRH chase down the target easily. If SRH is do well against KKR, Tripathi would play an important role.
