Following their preliminary loss to Punjab Kings in IPL 2023, KKR has secured consecutive victories towards RCB and Gujarat Giants. Led by Nitish Rana, the staff goals to maintain their profitable streak towards SRH.
Meanwhile, within the sport towards PBKS, KKR gained the toss and opted to bowl first towards Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match at Eden Gardens, right here on Friday. While KKR remained unchanged, SRH made one change of their line-up with Abhishek Sharma coming in for Washington Sundar.
“We’ve been practising here and there has been dew. Keeping that in mind, we want to chase,” KKR captain Rana mentioned on the toss.
On the opposite hand, SRH skipper Aiden Markram mentioned: “Would have looked to bowl, that is the trend. This is a high-scoring wicket, so happy to get runs on the board. Nice to get a win, and today is a fresh start. Hopefully, we can do well. I don’t think we’ll set a target, you need to look at the pitch and then reassess. Whatever we get we’ll try our best to defend.”
