Leaving their previous season behind, both Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad will look to make a new beginning in the IPL 2024. The two teams are set to meet at the Eden Gardens on Saturday at 7:30 PM IST.
Shreyas Iyer is back to lead the KKR and their former skipper Gautam Gambhir is also back as a mentor. Those two are going to play a vital role in shaping KKR’s fortunes in the IPL 2024. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad have entrusted Pat Cummins to lead the side this time around as they have assembled a strong unit. However, the Orange Army will have to perform as per their potential to make an impact.

In the last 5 matches between these two teams, Kolkata Knight Riders have won 3, while Sunrisers Hyderabad have also notched up 2 victories.
Kolkata Knight Riders will be playing at their home and they are likely to ask for the slow wickets given the spin-bowling attack they have. Also, Sunrisers Hyderabad don’t have a threatening spin attack at the same time. They have Wanindu Hasaranga but the other spinners lack quality.
Meanwhile, the Hyderabad-based franchise is looking menacing in the batting department courtesy of their overseas batters. However, their Indian contingent will have to perform. Kolkata Knight Riders have mostly a sorted batting unit barring their opening combination.
If Gautam Gambir manage to get slow wickets at the Eden Gardens, their bowling outclass the opponents. Hence, Kolkata Knight Riders will start this game as the favourites to win.
