The Mahakumbh of IPL 2024 has started. Chennai Super Kings defeated RCB by 6 wickets in the first match of IPL 2024. Today, on March 23, Kolkata Knight Riders led by Shreyas Iyer will face Sunrisers Hyderabad captained by Pat Cummins. Both the teams could not perform well last season. But both the teams have players who can change the course of the match in just a few balls.
Such is the record of both the teams
So far, 25 matches have been played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL, out of which KKR team has won 16. Whereas Hyderabad team has won in 9 matches. In such a situation, it can be said that KKR has the upper hand against Hyderabad. This match between the two teams will be held at the Eden Gardens ground in Kolkata. Which is the home of KKR team. In such a situation, it will not be easy for Hyderabad to overcome Shreyas Iyer’s army.
Shreyas Iyer is back
Captain Shreyas Iyer has returned to the Kolkata Knight Riders team. He could not play last season due to injury. But he is completely fit now. He was struggling with back spasms during the recent Ranji Trophy season. But he played in the final of Ranji Trophy but did not field in the last two days.
All eyes will be on Mitchell Starc
Apart from Shreyas, all eyes will be on Mitchell Starc, who is the most expensive buy in the history of the Indian Premier League. KKR had spent Rs 24.75 crore to acquire Starc in the IPL 2024 auction in Dubai in December last year. KKR team has also included Gautam Gambhir as the mentor of the team.
