IPL 2023: Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad| Match winner on 19th Match IPL 2023

ipl-2023-kolkata-knight-riders-vs-sunrisers-hyderabad-match-winner-on-19th-match-ipl-2023

<p><strong>KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1:</strong> It's time for the most interesting phase of the 2024 Tata Indian Premier League - The Playoffs and the playoffs phase will be kicking off from today as the top two teams of the points table - Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on each other in Qualifier one at Ahmedabad?s Narendra Modi Stadium and both the teams will be looking to book their tickets for the final of IPL 2024.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><div><div class=""><a href="#harshit-rana-vs-heinrich-klassen">Harshit Rana vs Heinrich Klassen</a></div><div class=""><a href="#pat-cummins-vs-sunil-narine">Pat Cummins vs Sunil Narine</a></div><div class=""><a href="#varun-chakaravarthy-vs-travis-head">Varun Chakaravarthy vs Travis Head</a></div></div></nav></div>



<p>The Kolkata Knight Riders, led by Shreyas Iyer have been the most consistent team of the league phase and their points tally in the overall standings clearly shows that. Finishing at the top of the table with 20 points, the Kolkata-based team had a three-point advantage over the second-ranked SRH with 17 points.</p>



<p>KKR?s Sunil Narine is having the best IPL season of his career and he has played the role of both batting and bowling to perfection while the middle-order batters and the lower-order batters have contributed immensely with the bat as they have capitalized on the start provided by the opening duo of Narine and Phil Salt and ended the innings on a positive note.</p>



<p>In terms of the bowling unit, the Knight Riders are one of the best teams. Three of their bowlers - Varun Chakaravarthy, Harshit Rana and Sunil Narine are part of the top 15 highest wicket-takers of IPL 2024 and this just goes to show how lethal their bowling unit has been this year.</p>



<p>The two concerns for the two-time IPL winners ahead of the playoffs will be the departure of opener and wicketkeeper-batsman Phil Salt and the poor form of speedster Mitchell Starc. While Rahmanullah Gurbaz will be filling the void of Phil Salt at the top of the order, Starc doesn't have any proper replacement and considering the high amount of money KKR spent on him, he will have to pull his socks up and give his best in the playoffs phase and help Kolkata lift their third IPL trophy.</p>



<p>If the Knight Riders have a solid bowling unit, then the Sunrisers Hyderabad have the best batting unit of IPL 2024. In their final league game against the Punjab Kings, the Pat Cummins-led team chased down the target of 215 runs pretty easily. Abhishek Sharma single-handedly turned the game in the favor of his team with an outstanding knock of 66 runs in just 28 deliveries and the KKR bowlers need to bowl intelligently against the batting unit of SRH if they want to have the upper hand. At Stadiums which have a completely flat wicket, Hyderabad?s opening duo of Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head have the potential of killing the game off in the powerplay itself and they have done it on more than one occasion this year.</p>



<p>The Hyderabad-based team?s bowling has not been at its usual best but they have bowled well in the last few matches. T Natarajan has been Hyderabad?s best bowler this year and he has received an ample amount of support from the duo of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Captain Pat Cummins.</p>



<p><strong>Ahead of the KKR vs SRH Qualifier one game, let's take a look at three key player battles:</strong></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="harshit-rana-vs-heinrich-klassen"><strong>Harshit Rana vs Heinrich Klassen</strong></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/Harshit-Rana-vs-Heinrich-Klassen.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-134366" /></figure>



<ol></ol>



<p>In their initial league stage encounter against KKR, the Sunrisers Hyderabad needed seven runs in five deliveries and Hyderabad was cruising to an easy victory thanks to the superb inning of Heinrich Klassen. However, Kolkata Knight Riders fast bowler Harshit Rana had some other ideas.</p>



<p>The young pacer dismissed Klaasen and gave away just two runs in his five deliveries which turned out to be the turning point and Harshit?s final over heroics allowed the Shreyas Iyer-led team to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat against SRH.</p>



<p>Harshit and Klaasen will once again be up against each other in Qualifier One and Rana will be high on confidence after his heroics in their previous meeting the young seamer will be looking to stop the SRH wicketkeeper batter again while the 32-year-old South African will be seeking revenge.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="pat-cummins-vs-sunil-narine"><strong>Pat Cummins vs Sunil Narine</strong></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/Sunil-Narine.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-134367" /></figure>



<ol start="2"></ol>



<p>The ability of Pat Cummins to bowl accurate bouncers might be Sunrisers Hyderabad?s best possible bet against Sunil Narine who is having an excellent IPL season with the bat as an opener.</p>



<p>Narine, who got run out for four runs in the previous meeting of the two sides earlier this season will be looking to toy with the SRH bowling unit.</p>



<p>If Bhuvneshwar Kumar is unable to dismiss Narine in the initial overs of the first qualifier, then Cummins will have to bring himself into the attack to keep the dangerous Narine quiet. A really interesting battle between the two players awaits as the top two battle it out against each other to secure their spot in the final.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="varun-chakaravarthy-vs-travis-head"><strong>Varun Chakaravarthy vs Travis Head</strong></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/Travis-Head.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-134368" /></figure>



<ol start="3"></ol>



<p>Travis Head has been the best batter for the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the current edition of IPL while Varun Chakaravarthy has been KKR?s most successful bowler this year.</p>



<p>Head is known to have a weakness against spinners and KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer won't waste a lot of time to bring on Chakaravarthy against Head.</p>



<p>How well Head picks the mystery spin of Varun Chakaravarthy will be a thing to watch and this battle will potentially decide which team gets a chance to book their ticket for the IPL 2024 final.</p>

KKR vs SRH THREE-PLAYER BATTLES to Watch out for from today's QUALIFIER-1 of TATA IPL 2024

kkr-vs-srh-three-player-battles-to-watch-out-for-from-todays-qualifier-1-of-tata-ipl-2024

<p><strong>KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 Qualifier 1:</strong> In just a few hours, the two batting powerhouse KKR and SRH will lock horns in the IPL 2024 Qualifier 1 with an aim to seal the ticket for the IPL 2024 Finals. Table Topper KKR will be missing their start opener Phil Salt and this is going to create some challenges for the team management. This post reads KKR's Strongest Playing 11 against SRH prediction in IPL 2024 Qualifier 1.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#ipl-2024-qualifier-1-kk-rs-strongest-playing-11-against-srh-prediction">IPL 2024 Qualifier 1:KKR's Strongest Playing 11 against SRH prediction</a><ul><li class=""><a href="#kkr-vs-srh-kk-rs-predicted-playing-11">KKR vs SRH: KKR's Predicted Playing 11</a></li></ul></li></ul></nav></div>



<p>The stage of Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad is all set for the epic clash, and the weather forecast is also favorable for this match. Ahmedabad had a few showers a couple of days back but on the day of IPL 2024 Qualifier 1, the temperature of the city will reach over 45?C making it tougher for the players.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/03/KKRvsSRH-IPL-2024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-128384" /></figure>



<p>Both teams have already landed in Ahmedabad and had a good practice session last night. Sunrisers Hyderabad didn't have any English players in their starting lineup so they will remain unaffected by the withdrawal of English players. KKR, on the other hand, had one of the main frontline batters Phil Salt in their lineup and now he went back to his country for World Cup Preparations.</p>



<p>Below is the KKR's Strongest Playing 11 against SRH prediction in IPL 2024 Qualifier 1:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ipl-2024-qualifier-1-kk-rs-strongest-playing-11-against-srh-prediction"><strong><strong>IPL 2024 Qualifier 1</strong></strong>:<strong>KKR's Strongest Playing 11 against SRH prediction</strong></h2>



<p>When Phil Salt is absent, KKR will walk to another right-handed opening batter who has an equally aggressive approach and almost similar skillset. Rahamanullah Gurbaz is the first player that hits the mind and he might be the perfect replacement for Phil Salt in the upcoming important matches for KKR.</p>



<p>He will join the party with Sunil Narine at the top who has been phenomenal this year with bat and ball. He is the highest run-getter for KKR with 461 runs in 12 games he played and he smashed those runs with an average of around 40 and a strike rate of over 180. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/IPL-2024-Sunil-Narine-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-132502" /></figure>



<p>However, they have a choice of Nithis Rana for the number 3 batter but there are strong chances that they might go with Angkrish Raghuvanshi as he is the one playing in most of the matches and put up a good display with the bat.</p>



<p>Skipper Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer are the next two in the lineup and this makes them one of the most stable and aggressive cores in batting. Four out of the top five are in good touch and it will be a test for Rahamanullah Gurbaz.</p>



<p>Rinku Singh and Ramandeep Singh are the other two Indian players who have abilities to smash the ball out of the park in the death overs. Then, the nightmare for death bowler, Andre Russell makes his place as an all-rounder. We are yet to see a rampage by this beast in TATA IPL 2024 but he is a good knick.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/03/IPL-2024-KKR-Bowler-Harshit-Rana-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-128374" /></figure>



<p>Harshit Rana and Mitchell Starc will spearhead the bowling department and Vaibhav Arora will join them as an impact player. This trio has achieved massive achievements this year and they also have a mystery spinner Varun Chakaravarthy who is currently 4th in the most wickets tally with 18 wickets. </p>



<p>These are the 11 players that might make their spot in the Knight's playing 11 in the KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 Qualifier 1.</p>

<p>The Kolkata Knight Riders, led by Shreyas Iyer stormed their way into the final of the 2024 Tata Indian Premier League with a dominating victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the first qualifier, winning by a commanding margin of eight wickets. This dominating win emphasized Kolkata?s amazing track record in the finals of IPL, having made their way in the title deciding matches a total of four - times, including the current IPL 2024 final. It's worth noting that the Kolkata based franchise has lifted the IPL trophy twice in 2012 and 2014 under the formidable captaincy of Gautam Gambhir, who is currently associated with KKR as a mentor.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>KKR's form in the last five matches:</strong> W, NR, NR, W, W</p>



<p><strong>KKR's strongest playing 11 in the final against SRH: </strong>Sunil Narine, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (WK), Shreyas Iyer (Captain), Rinku Singh, Venkatesh Iyer, Ramandeep Singh, Andre Russell, Vaibhav Arora, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakaravarthy and Mitchell Starc.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Sunrisers Hyderabad, under the leadership of Pat Cummins managed to bounce back after their defeat against KKR in Qualifier one with a dominant victory against Rajasthan Royals in the second Qualifier by 36 runs and earned themselves a well deserved spot in the final and a chance to lift the trophy for the second time.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Despite making their IPL debut in 2013, the Hyderabad based franchise has already made it to the final twice since their inception. They lifted their maiden IPL trophy in 2016 under the astute leadership of David Warner and while they qualified for the summit clash again in 2018, they had to face a defeat at the hands of the five time winners Chennai Super Kings.&nbsp;</p>



<p>But this time around, SRH will be looking to change their fortunes by defeating KKR in the final on 26th May and it remains to be seen which team ends up winning the mega encounter.&nbsp;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="kkr-vs-srh-head-to-head">KKR vs SRH: Head to Head</h2>



<p>KKR and SRH have played a total of 27 games against each other and out of these 27 matches, the Kolkata based team have finished victorious on 18 occasions whereas Hyderabad have triumphed on nine occasions.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>KKR won: 17</strong></p>



<p><strong>SRH won: 9</strong></p>

<p><strong>Weather Report: </strong>According to the weather reports of AccuWeather, the day time on 26th May will be hot and sunny but during the evening period, there are going to be slight chances of thunderstorms and rainfall with 97% cloud - cover. The chances of rainfall interrupting the final are 3% which is not considered a major threat by any means and fans will get the opportunity to enjoy the full game. Average temperature is anticipated to be around 33 degrees Celsius.</p>



<p><strong>Pitch and toss report: </strong>The surface of the Chepauk Stadium of Chennai is well known for favoring bowlers especially spinners. The surface provides an ample amount of turn and grip which makes it difficult for the batters to play their shots freely. In the second Qualifier match between SRH and RR, the dew factor didn't play any kind of a role which allowed bowlers to grip the ball easily and expect it to be the same in the final as well. The toss winning captain will most likely choose to bowl first.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="kkr-vs-srh-ipl-2024-final-players-to-watch-out-for"><strong>KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 Final: Players to watch out for</strong></h2>



<p><strong>1. Sunil Narine: </strong>Kolkata Knight Riders star all rounder Sunil Narine has performed exceptionally well with both bat and ball in IPL 2024 and this has helped KKR to reach the final. 26th May is also Sunil?s birthday so the birthday boy will like to make his 36th birthday memorable by helping Kolkata lift their third IPL trophy with yet another match winning display.</p>



<p><strong>2. Travis Head: </strong>SRH opener Travis Head has been in brutal form with the bat having amassed 567 runs in 14 games at a monstrous strike rate of 192.20 and an outstanding batting average of 43.62. His record in finals with the bat is unmatchable and he will be looking to make his IPL 2024 campaign memorable by helping SRH lift their second IPL trophy.</p>



<p><strong>3. Mitchell Starc: </strong>Kolkata Knight Riders fast bowler Mitchell Starc will have a huge role to play with the new ball and he would like to wreak havoc in the first six overs like he had done against the same opposition in Qualifier one. If the Aussie picks up early wickets for the Shreyas Iyer led team then they will automatically have the advantage in the final considering how dangerous the SRH top order is.</p>

<p><strong>IPL 2024 Final:</strong> 73 games and two months later, the moment for which all the Cricket fans across the globe were waiting for has finally arrived! It's time for the Final of the 2024 Tata Indian Premier League as two-time winners Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and 2016 champions Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are set to take on each other in the most important game of the season today at Chennai's M.A Chidambaram Stadium. These two teams have played excellent Cricket since the start of IPL 2024 in March and now they will fight it out against each other to get their hands on the iconic Indian Premier League Trophy.?</p>



<p>The 38,200 seating capacity of Chennai's Chepauk Stadium is going to be completely filled and the crowd will be eager to witness which team will finish out on top in this all-important summit clash. The 24 players who will be taking the field in the final today will have just one goal in their mind and that will be to lift the iconic trophy of the world's best T20 league.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Before the final, the Shreyas Iyer-led Kolkata Knight Riders defeated SRH in the first qualifier by eight wickets and booked their spot in the title-deciding clash. Sunrisers Hyderabad had to win against the Rajasthan Royals in the second Qualifier at any cost if they wanted to qualify for the final and they did exactly that as they won the match by a margin of 36 runs.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Knight Riders have already defeated the Sunrisers twice in the current edition of the IPL but can they make it a hat trick of wins against SRH by triumphing in the final or will Hyderabad end the winning momentum of the two-time champions and secure a victory when it matters the most? No matter which team ends on the winning side, this summit clash will definitely be a nail-biting one and a great one to watch.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Ahead of this all-important title-deciding encounter between KKR and SRH, let's take a look at three player battles that are going to be worth watching out for:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 Final: Three Player Battles To Watch Out For</h2>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>1 . Andre Russell vs Abhishek Sharma</strong></h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/Abhishek-Sharma.jpg" alt="IPL 2024 Qualifier-2 SRH vs RR" class="wp-image-134503" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><strong> Abhishek Sharma</strong></figcaption></figure>



<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad opener Abhishek Sharma is a batter who can turn out to be the match-winner in the KKR vs SRH encounter. The Southpaw has been scoring runs this season at a strike rate of more than 200 and if he stays at the crease beyond the powerplay, then he can definitely help his side go past the 200 runs mark.&nbsp;</p>



<p>However, he will have to be wary of the threat posed by KKR's Andre Russell. Russell has dismissed the young Indian opener twice in the Indian Premier League in just nine deliveries and has conceded just 11 runs against Abhishek. Will Russell continue his dominance against Sharma or will the Southpaw try something different and edge out Russell in the head-to-head battle? The answers to these questions will be given to us in the final tonight.&nbsp;</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2. Mitchell Starc vs Travis Head</strong></h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/Travis-Head.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-134368" /></figure>



<p>We all know what happened when Mitchell Starc and Travis Head clashed against each other in the first Qualifier. Starc needed just two deliveries to break the stumps of Travis Head and that too for a duck. Notably, the KKR speedster has dismissed his fellow Aussie teammate a total of five times in IPL and domestic Australian competitions and Head has been dismissed without scoring a single run on four of those occasions. So, the Starc vs Head battle will be an exciting one to watch out for in the final.&nbsp;</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>3. Varun Chakaravarthy vs Heinrich Klaasen</strong></h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/klassan.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-134603" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: IPL</figcaption></figure>



<p>Heinrich Klaasen slammed a crucial half-century against Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier Two and he has been in amazing form this season. On his day, Klaasen can prove to be the opposition bowler's worst nightmare and there's a reason why he is regarded as Modern-day Cricket?s most destructive batter in the world. If the SRH and Protean wicketkeeper batter is allowed to stay at the crease till the end, then KKR bowlers will have to prepare themselves for a tough outing.&nbsp;</p>



<p>But, KKR spinner Varun Chakaravarthy is someone who is known to get crucial breakthroughs at regular intervals and he has already managed to pick up 20 wickets in 14 games this season. Varun also hails from Tamil Nadu and has played the majority of his Cricket at the Chepauk Stadium and he knows how suitable the pitch of Chennai is for the spinners. He's a tough bowler to attack in helpful conditions and Klaasen even gave his wicket away to the KKR leggie in the first Qualifier. Klaasen would like to play carefully against Chakaravarthy this time around in the final while Varun will be looking to get the better of the SRH hard hitter once again.?</p>

IPL 2024 Final: Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Player Battles to Watch Out For

ipl-2024-final-kolkata-knight-riders-vs-sunrisers-hyderabad-player-battles-to-watch-out-for

<p>KKR roared back to form after their setback at Wankhede, crushing SRH by a massive 80 runs at Eden Gardens. While Venky Iyer starred with bat (60 off 29), Vaibhav Arora and Varun Chakravarthy unsettled the opponent with the ball. </p>
<p>With debates swirling around home teams struggling with pitch conditions, KKR had no such concerns this time. The surface provided just the right amount of grip, perfectly complementing their bowling attack. They made full use of it, first putting up a formidable total and then delivering a clinical performance with the ball to register a dominant victory.</p>
<p>Let's take a look at the Match report of KKR vs SRH 2025:</p>
<h2><strong>KKR vs SRH MATCH REPORT</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>TOSS AND PLAYING11S</strong></h3>
<p>At the iconic Eden Gardens, the 15th match of IPL 2025 kicked off with SRH winning the toss and opting to bowl first, looking to capitalize on early movement and restrict KKR’s power-packed batting lineup.</p>
<p><strong>KKR's Playing11: </strong>Quinton de Kock (wk), Sunil Narine, Ajinkya Rahane (c), Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Moeen Ali, Ramandeep Singh, Andre Russell, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakaravarthy [impact sub- Vaibhav Arora]</p>
<p><strong>SRH's Playing11: </strong>Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Aniket Verma, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Kamindu Mendis, Simarjeet Singh, Pat Cummins (c), Harshal Patel, Mohammed Shami, Zeeshan Ansari [Impact sub- Travis Head]</p>
<h2><strong>KKR's Batting First- 200/6 (20 overs)</strong></h2>
<p>KKR’s start was far from ideal, as their openers once again failed to fire, leaving the team in a tricky situation. However, Ajinkya Rahane and Angkrish Raghuvanshi took charge, stabilizing the innings with a crucial partnership of 81 runs. They laid a solid platform, ensuring that KKR didn't fall behind despite the early setbacks.</p>
<p>The real fireworks, though, came in the latter half of the innings. Venkatesh Iyer initially struggled to find his rhythm on a surface where the slower deliveries were gripping. But once he got his eye in, he unleashed absolute carnage. His acceleration was staggering, shifting gears seamlessly and dismantling the SRH bowling attack.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202504/image_430x256_67eec813771f8.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>His jaw-dropping 66 runs put KKR into the front foot. Rinku Singh complemented Iyer brilliantly, adding his signature finishing touches to push the total even further. By the time the dust settled, KKR had powered their way to a commanding total of 200 runs, addong yet another 200+ total to their impressive IPL record. SRH, known for scoring and conceding such big scores in recent seasons, now had a massive chase ahead of them.</p>
<h2><strong>SRH's Rusty Chase- 120/10 (16.4 Overs)</strong></h2>
<p>SRH wasted no time in bringing in Travis Head as their impact substitute, expecting him and Abhishek Sharma to set the tone for a daunting chase. However, the plan unraveled almost instantly. Head mistimed his shot and skied the very second ball of the innings off Vaibhav Arora, while Abhishek Sharma edged the 12th delivery straight to the slip cordon.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202504/image_430x256_67eec80da8e75.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Vaibhav Arora continued his dream spell, dismissing Ishan Kishan in the third over, leaving SRH in complete disarray at a single-digit score with three wickets down. Their powerplay struggles were evident, managing just 33 runs, further highlighting their overreliance on the top three.</p>
<p>Nitish Kumar Reddy, who has yet to hit his stride this season, couldn't turn things around either, falling for 19. With SRH in deep trouble, Kamindu Mendis and Heinrich Klaasen tried to salvage the innings. However, Sunil Narine struck in the 10th over to send Kamindu back, and Varun Chakaravarthy removed Aniket Verma soon after.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202504/image_430x256_67eec81092de8.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>SRH’s hopes faded further as Vaibhav Arora dismissed Klaasen, leaving them in deep trouble. Varun Chakaravarthy struck twice in quick succession, removing Pat Cummins and Simarjeet Singh. Finally, Andre Russell delivered the last blow, putting the final nail in the coffin as KKR secured a commanding 80-run win at Eden Gardens.</p>
<h2><strong>KKR vs SRH 2025 Scorecard</strong></h2>
<p><strong>KKR- 200/6 (20 overs)<br></strong>Venkatesh Iyer- 60 (29)<br>Shami: 4-0-29-1</p>
<p><strong>SRH- 120/10 (16.4 overs)<br></strong>Henrich Klaasen- 33(21)<br>Varun Chakravarthy- 4-0-22-3</p>
