Both KKR and SRH failed to qualify for the playoffs last season in the Indian Premier League (IPL). While Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) finished with the wooden spoon in the points table with a mere four wins in the league stages, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) were ranked seventh in the table.
However, the new season will bring new opportunities for both teams as they look for a reversal in their fortunes. KKR will be boosted with the availability of their captain Shreyas Iyer, who missed the previous season due to injury concerns.
SRH, on the other side, have roped in World Cup-winning captain Pat Cummins to spearhead their side. The Orange Army shelled out INR 20 Crores during the IPL 2024 Auction in December 2023 to bag Cummins’ services.
As far as team news is concerned, KKR will be with their full-strength squad for the game, whereas SRH will be without Wanindu Hasaranga, who is on national duty for Sri Lanka.

Eden Gardens Pitch Report
Although Eden Gardens is known to be a batter’s paradise, it turned out to be spin-friendly during the ODI World Cup 2023. Expect a similar kind of surface this time as well in the Tata IPL 2024. The shorter boundaries on either of the sides will facilitate easy run scoring. Some fireworks will be on the cards as well during KKR vs SRH fixture.
