Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kolkata Knight Riders Match 25 – Players to watch
Shreyas Iyer
After a lacklustre start to the season, the KKR skipper finally came good in the previous game against the Delhi Capitals where he scored a dashing 54 runs from 33 deliveries, taking the overall run tally in the tournament to 123 runs in 5 matches. He will be looking to build on this momentum and help his team win games and ensure progression to the next round of the tournament.
Umesh Yadav
The senior Indian bowler continues on his quest to rejoin the Indian national team and the way things are going right now, the day of his recall doesn’t seem to be far off. So far in the tournament, he has scalped 10 wickets from 5 games played and is looking to be absolutely on rhythm at the moment. If he can just curtail the number of runs conceded, he has a very good chance of earning that World T20 squad call-up.
Rahul Tripathi
He is a player who is steadily getting better and with 100 runs from 4 games, the Sunrisers have found some consistency in the middle order through his efforts. The team is currently trying to put together a string of wins in order to climb the points table and Rahul Tripathi will play a big role in this mission.
T Natarajan
He has been a bit on the expensive side in terms of runs conceded. but he is also turning out to be an asset for the Sunrisers in the bowling department. So far in the tournament, he has scalped 8 wickets from 4 matches and will be looking for a lot more going forward.
