Preview :

The third game of the Indian Premier League 2024 is set to be a blockbuster affair. IPL 2016 winners Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on two-time IPL winners Kolkata Knight Riders. The match is set to be played on Saturday in the first evening game of the double-header weekend. Eden Gardens will host this mega clash as Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc come face-to-face.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have made huge investments ahead of the new season. Mitchell Starc is returning to IPL after nine years and was paid over the odds for his services. The left-arm pacer will give KKR fans new hope of winning the title after nearly a decade. The return of Gautam Gambhir will also enthuse new hopes into KKR as the mentor is seen as a massive figure at the Eden Gardens.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) had seen Harry Brook score a century at the same venue in an otherwise miserable 2023 campaign. Pat Cummins became the new skipper of the side just weeks before the tournament could begin. Kavya Maran paid INR 20.25 Crores to acquire the services of the Australian skipper.
