(Info4now, April 15, 2022)- KKR vs SRH game is going to be a very important one in the context of the IPL 2022 run, as this is already into the third week. Against Delhi Capitals, Kolkata Knight Riders went through an experience that cleared their problems up. As the tournament is in a move, it’s time to take those problems very seriously and especially the top order.
Sunrisers Hyderabad, on the other hand, come back strong and have secured four important points. They beat Gujrat Titans in the last contest and it was beautiful to get two points from one of the top sides of IPL 2022. So they will be all okay against a fearless but impatient KKR.
Preview: KKR vs SRH Match 25, IPL 2022
It’s time for Sunrisers Hyderabad to give Umran Malik the new ball. Against KKR’s top order the swing of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and speed of Umran Malik might be a tricky one. T. Natarajan is wicket to wicket and on this surface and it’s how one can bowl either right into the blockhole or on the top of the off stump. Washington Sundar is another one who is also very stump to stump with his orthodox off spin. If he is not fit, Shreyas Gopal will probably replace him.
Sunrisers Hyderabad possess an excellent top and middle. What they need is just a bit of consistency. Otherwise, It’s a fantastic top order of Kane Williamson, Abhishek Sharma and Rahul Tripathi. If Nicholas Pooran and Aiden Markram get their going, they are very dangerous on their days against any opposition. Down the order it’s not as fiery as KKR’s, but Washington Sundar and Marco Jansen can bat.
For KKR, there’s no doubt of three or four changes. It starts with the coming of Aaron Finch in place of Ajinkya Rahane. Rahane got enough space to bat and I think he must be satisfied with his so far contribution and allow Finch to have a fresh start. At No. 3, Kolkata might go for a young player from the bench.
We expected Shivam Mavi’s return in the last preview, but KKR did go with Rasikh Salam. So Mavi must get back to the side. Tim Southee may be tried again in place of Pat Cummins. If Aaron Finch makes playing XI, Sheldon Jackson’s return to the side is one of the genuine changes.
To Conclude
It’s the same ground of Brabourne Stadium and the wicket will carry enough runs. So KKR’s middle order has to be very aware of calculated risks. As Sunrisers Hyderabad have every right player to score at a necessary run rate, some of the Knights have to come out of their stiff scoring in the KKR vs SRH game. It’s their time not to depend on the lower order batsmen and take crucial decisions in changes.
Probable Playing XI: KKR vs SRH Match 25
