Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are up against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in match No. 19 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Friday. KKR are the in-form side with back-to-back wins since losing their opening match and must be high on confidence.
KKR batter Rinku Singh produced a sensational display of batting against the IPL defending champions Gujarat Titans last week – smashing five sixes off the last five balls to lift Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan-owned franchise to an unlikely win. Knight Riders will look to continue their winning run in front of their home crowd at Eden Gardens.
Former champions SRH are also coming into this clash on the back of their first win in IPL 2023. Aiden Markram, who took over as captain in IPL 2023, posted his first win over Punjab Kings at home and possesses the firepower to trouble the Knight Riders.
Nitish Rana’s KKR will be boosted by the fact that their two overseas recruits – Jason Roy and Litton Das – have joined the squad to bolster their injury-hit lineup.
