Washington Sundar has been a key player for Sunrisers Hyderabad. In fact, he is the lone spinner in the SRH team who has decided to go with 4 pace attack. However, Washington Sundar will be unavailable for today’s match after being injured in the match against Gujarat Titans. How will SRH cope with the unavailability is to be seen?
However, SRH has a like-for-like replacement for Shreyas Gopal in the camp. Can he fill the shoes of Sundar? Or will SRH go for Samad, their one of the retentions? Well, we have to wait and see. Rahul Tripathi who had a niggle the last match is good to go.
KKR on the other side is better placed. They had three wins in four games. However, it is not their best game. Their batters are not clicking, at least in the opening combination. The time is ticking for Ajinkya Rahane. Sam Billings might make a miss as well. KKR camp might also bring in Rinku Singh in place of Rasikh Salam.
Here’s the probable playing XI
SRH: Abhishek Sharma, Kane Williamson, Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran, Shashank Singh, Abdul Samad/Shreyas Gopal, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan, Marco Jansen, Umran Malik
KKR: Venkatesh Iyer, Ajinkya Rahane/Aaron Finch, Nitish Rana, Shreyas Iyer, Sam Billings/ Sheldon Jackson, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Pat Cummins, Rinku Singh/ Rasikh Salam, Varun Chakravarthy, Umesh Yadav.
