Sunrisers Hyderabad are hosted by Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens in the 19th match of Tata IPL 2023.

KKR vs SRH: Why is Washington Sundar Not Playing Today’s IPL 2023 Match?

After what transpired in the last game SRH were expected to remain unchanged for this game. However, it didn’t happen as the team management opted for Abhishek Sharma in place of an out of form Washington Sundar. Abhishek, who hails from Punjab, is a left-hand batter and a handy left-arm spinner as well. SRH already have Mayank Markande in the ranks who is fresh of a 4-fer from the last game. If needed, Washington could come into the eleven in the second innings as SRH have named him in the substitutes. Here’s what Aiden Markram said at the toss,

“Happy either way. 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. One change, Abhishek Sharma comes in for Washi Sundar. 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.”

Yash Dayal made it to the top 10 list of wicket takers in the Vijay Hazare Trophy during the 2021-22 season. His impressive performance caught the attention of several interested buyers during the IPL 2022 Mega Auction, but eventually, the Gujarat Titans secured him for a substantial amount of INR 3.2 crore. Despite facing tough competition from other bidders, the GT team emerged as the successful buyer of the promising 24-year-old player. The team retained him for the following season at the same price.
