Preview :

The defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 15th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. This match will be played at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. After losing badly against Mumbai Indians (MI) away from home, KKR need to bounce back by putting up a better performance with bat, ball, and in the field against SRH in the rematch of last year’s IPL final.

Sunrisers Hyderabad have one win and two losses in three matches. They started the season with a win over Rajasthan but have suffered big defeats in the previous two matches, which has dented their NRR. They will be keen to bounce back. Having all the concerns, they have found a bright spot Aniket Verma, who has already scored 117 runs in 3 matches at a strike rate of 205.26. Abhishek Sharma, who has 31 runs to his name in 3 matches is eyeing a better show on Thursday. They are placed 8th in the standings with 2 points.

On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders also have one win and two losses in three matches. They lost the previous match against Mumbai Indians as they were bowled out for 116 in the first innings. How they crumbled against Mumbai Indians at the batting-friendly Wankhede wicket showcases their inconsistency, which came after a stupendous display against Royals, where they achieved an 8-wicket victory. They are one game away from regaining their confidence back.

Ajinkya Rahane :

Ajinkya Rahane has reinvented himself to fit the modern-day cricketing mold with his attacking batting.

He's coming from decent domestic season and scored 469 runs at an average of 58.62 in 8 innings in SMAT 2024. The vateran Indian top order batter has an outstanding record (478 runs, 20 innings) against the Sunrisers Hyderabad but based on his current form and SRH’s new ball attack. One of the best captaincy choice for grand league.

Venkatesh Iyer :

Venkatesh Iyer has had a couple of poor games but remains a key player in this game. He has a decent record against the SRH, with 148 runs at a strike rate of 138.3. Venkatesh has two half centuries against them.. The left-hander was superb in the IPL last season, where he scored 370 runs at an average of 46.25 and strike rate of 158.79. Good pick.

Sunil Narine :

Sunil Narine is the most prolific all-rounder in the KKR squad, opening the innings for his team and making full use of the field restrictions in the first six overs. In the 2024 IPL season, Narine delivered a standout all-round performance, scoring 488 runs and picking up 17 wickets at an exceptional economy rate of just 6.73. Narine always comes up with special performances for his long-lasting associated franchise Kolkata Knight Riders. He made 44 runs and picked up a wicket against RCB in first game. Narine has picked up 18 wickets in 26 innings against Srh6. But Narine always struggles against the bowlers like Shami / Cummins and other SRH bowlers as well. He averages only 9.6 against SRH in 16 innings for his 135 runs. But he has the most wickets (71, 60 inn) at the Eden Gardens. Default c/vc pick.

Andre Russell :

Andre Russell has pure Caribbean power and simply looks to knock the ball out of the park every time, he generates tremendous power by hitting the ball with full force, which can score him and his team many runs in the death overs. Russell strikes at 172.3 (305 runs) and has 23 wickets against SRH. He also has third most (40) wickets in 45 matches at this venue. Another safest c/vc pick.

Varun Chakravarthy going through with supream form with the ball and he He has 11 wickets in as many games against SRH at an economy of 8.29. He's also picked up 25 wickets in just 17 innings at the Eden Gardens. Must have pick.

Harshit Rana :

Harshit Rana could go for runs but he is a genuine wicket-taker for his team. He took the fourth-most wickets in IPL 2024 (19) with the high economy of 9.08. He has 7 wickets in his four matches against the SRH. Good pick.

*SRH*

Heinrich Klaasen :

Klaasen has 181 runs at an average of 45.2 and a strike rate of 163.1 in six innings against the KKR. He also has one fifty against them. He will be a must in your fantasy teams. One of the best captaincy choice for grand league if SRH top order collapse earlier.

Ishan Kishan :

Ishan Kishan scored a hundred in the first game and got out for a duck or 2 runs in the next two games. He loves playing against KKR; 257 runs in 9 innings at an average of 28.6 and a striking at 154.8 with three fifties. He is an explosive batter who likes to attack the opposition. Hit or miss type player.

He was smacked 67 runs from 31 balls against Rajasthan Royals first game. He also scored 75 runs at an average of 37.5 in three innings against the KKR. He will be a top C/VC option.

He had a superb IPL 2024 season, with 484 runs at 32 average and 204 strike rate. He has 132 runs in nine innings against KKR at an average of 16.5 at a strike rate of 124.5. Will be a safest C/VC option for this game.

Aniket Verma :

Aniket Verma is the real find for Sunrisers Hyderabad, who is making six hitting so effortlessly. In 3 matches in the IPL 2025, he made 117 runs at a strike rate of 205.26 where he cleared the boundary ropes on 12 occasions. Punt pick.

Pat Cummins :
