3 Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) Players That Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Can Target In IPL 2023

Sunrisers Hyderabad had a forgetful IPL season finishing eighth on the points table with six wins and eighth on the points table with six wins and eight losses. Kolkata Knight Riders finished seventh with six wins and eighth losses as well.

The way Sunrisers Hyderabad faltered in the second half of IPL 2022 was astonishing to see. After losing their first two games, they won five on the trot to make it five wins from their first seven games. In the second half, they won one from their last seven games as it was difficult for them to buy a win.

Despite the below-par season of the franchise a few of their players stood out with their performances. Given the quality of the SRH players and the kind of players KKR needs, a few of them might fit the bill perfectly. In this article, we take a look at three Sunrisers Hyderbad players, Kolkata Knight Riders can target in IPL 2023.

3 Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) Players That Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Can Target In IPL 2023

Rahul Tripathi

KKR made a big mistake by releasing Rahul Tripathi ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auction. Tripathi consistently scored for KKR in the two seasons he played for the side. He scored 627 runs in the two seasons he played before joining SRH for who he scored 413 in the very first season.

Kolkata was criticised heavily for releasing the batter and the franchise would dearly want him back. He can bat anywhere in the top four and even in the middle order.

Abhishek Sharma

The left-handed opening batter is another player who proved his worth in gold for SRH. He scored over 400 runs and marked his best season yet in the IPL. Sharma’s inclusion can certainly solve KKR’s opening woes that they faced in IPL 2022.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar / T Natarajan

The side also needs another experienced Indian pacer as a backup for Umesh Yadav. Both Bhuvi and Natarajan can be ideal backups for the veteran Indian pacer. Bhuvi is one of the most consistent bowlers in the IPL.

He has also taken the most wickets for SRH. Natarajan proved a left-arm option who is adept at bowling yorkers. Given the requirement, either of them can be a huge buy for KKR.
