Player battle - Pandey vs Chawla
For all the hype and talent around Manish Pandey, he has not fired since 2018, which has forced the management to rest him. However, he could get a game against KKR and this is the match, where he should finally step up and make a statement. Now, his biggest threat will be Piyush Chawla - he has managed to score only 12 runs in 11 balls and has been dismissed once by the leggie. Another interesting battle is on the cards.
15:15 hrs IST
Player battle - Russell vs Bhuvneshwar
Well, Russell is on a rampage and it started back when SRH took on KKR at Eden Gardens earlier in the season. He absolutely tore into Bhuvneshwar Kumar back then and once again, this battle will be key to the proceedings of this match. In 8 balls bowled by Bhuvneshwar, Russell has smoked him for 23 runs and has not been dismissed even once. How will Bhuvi react in this match after the mauling will be an interesting watch.
15:10 hrs IST
Player battle - Lynn vs Rashid
The big-hitting batsman has got off to bright starts in a few games but has not been able to play an innings of note this season. KKR would want him to bat deep into the innings. However, his biggest worry will be Rashid Khan. Lynn has struggled to find his footing against the leg spinner as in 19 balls faced, he has only managed to score 18 runs and has been dismissed only once. Williamson could chuck the ball to Rashid early in the match to get the better of the Australian.
15:05 hrs IST
Player battle - Warner vs Narine
Two big names will be up against as soon as the powerplays and KKR would want Narine to get rid of Warner as soon as possible. The left-hander has been in roaring form this season and his record against the spinner is not too bad either. He has scored 120 runs off 76 balls and has been dismissed twice by Sunil Narine over the years and hence, this battle right at the top will have a massive bearing on the outcome of the match.
15:00 hrs IST
Russell wants change in batting order
“I think me going to bat early would definitely be a good thing for KKR. But with our make-up of the team, that’s a good answer.” The Windies cricketer has been in blazing form and is the leading six-hitter of this season with 39 to his credit. He also sits fourth in the rungetters tally with 377 runs at an average of 75.40 with an astonishing strike rate of 220.46.

How to stop Russell juggernaut?
“We could bowl someone like Rashid (Khan) or Sandeep (Sharma), who executes slower balls so well. Russell is playing well, no doubt but at the same time he is still human, he can still get out. If we can concentrate on what we do well, if are able to play the way we did against Chennai (Super Kings) the other day, and put on a complete performance together then we should be in a good place. The pitch has been brilliant here,” said Bairstow.
14:40 hrs IST
Bairstow defends team
“We have got some fantastic players in our middle-order and David and I have done a fairly good job at the top. There are players who are in the World Cup team. Yusuf Pathan’s records speak for itself. There is a reason why they have done so well in the last couple of years.”
14:30 hrs IST
SRH’s middle-order woes
The hosts too have concerns of their own, mainly their over-reliance on openers David Warner and Jonny Bairstow, who will be leaving at the end of the week to join England’s World Cup. When the opening duo has fired, SRH have done well but on other occasions the middle-order has let them down. The World Cup-bound Vijay Shankar is due for a big score and so is captain Kane Williamson.
14:20 hrs IST
Problems galore for KKR
A rampaging Russell and Nitish Rana almost pulled off a miraculous win on Friday night after the KKR top-order left them with too much to do in the death overs. Russell even questioned the team’s decision to send him lower down the order when the likes of Robin Uthappa struggled. There is little doubt that the KKR think tank will be working overtime to get back to winnings ways.
14:10 hrs IST
Form guide
Both teams have eight points though SRH have played one match less. The hosts snapped their three-match losing streak with a win over table leaders CSK and KKR now need to do the same having lost their last four games.
