IPL 2024: KKR vs SRH, Match 3, Stats Preview: Approaching Milestones & Player Records
In the third match of IPL 2024, both Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad will be opening their campaign in the 17th edition of the IPL at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
In IPL 2023, KKR finished seventh while SRH finished last in the points table. Both teams will be looking to put the setback behind them after making swift moves in acquiring new players. KKR will be rejuvenated by the return of regular skipper Shreyas Iyer from an injury layoff while SRH will hope their new captain Pat Cummins with recent international success under his belt will save from their recent dubious performances.
Both teams have made new overseas acquisitions that they will hope can power them into the playoffs. SRH last made the playoffs in 2020, while KKR made it in 2021. KKR’s Mitchell Starc and Phil Salt are coming off recent success in international cricket while SRH have added Player of the World Cup final Travis Head among their ranks alongside ace Sri Lanka spinner Wanindu Hasaranga.
These two teams have faced each other 25 times in IPL history. KKR have emerged victorious on 16 occasions of which one was in a superover, and SRH have managed to eke out nine wins with zero no results.
