Kane Williamson’s lack of form tops the list. He has hit just one half-century so far this season. He will need to contribute substantially in the remaining two games. In this article, we will take a look at the Sunrisers Hyderabad’s predicted playing XI for their game against KKR.

Kane Williamson

Williamson has been very short of runs this season. The next match is the ideal time for him to contribute with the bat for his side.

Rahul Tripathi

Tripathi scored a match-winning 71 against his former club when the two teams met earlier this season. He would like to replicate his performance.

Aiden Markram

Markram along with Tripathi and Pooran makes SRH’s middle-order a strong one. All three of them have been in decent form. SRH will need runs from him.

Nicholas Pooran

Pooran will a lot in at number five in the batting line-up for Sunrisers Hyderabad. He has been in good hitting form in the season so far and has played a few crucial knocks. His side will need tuns from him in the big game.

Shashank Singh

Shashank Singh completes the top-six of Sunrisers Hyderabad. It is the. He scored 25 off 6 balls to make his mark in the IPL and Gujarat Titans. Since then he has tapered off a bit.

T Natarajan

Natarajan should come back into the playing XI in place of Jagdeesh Suchitch. He will provide the left-arm option in the bowling attack for the Sunrisers. IN the previous match against KKR, he picked up three wickets.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvi has the most wickets against KKR in the IPL with 29 scalps to his name. He will lead the bowling attack and will be the lynchpin of the bowling attack.

Umran Malik

The pace of Malik has been the most entertaining factor in the IPL. He has clocked 157 kmph against the Delhi Capitals in one of the games. His pace will be something to watch out for.

Marco Jansen

Jansen should come in for Fazalhaq Farooqi who played in the last game against RCB. This completes a potent-looking side with a lethal bowling attack against the Knight Riders. All of them can bowl short to the KKR batsmen, something that has been their undoing this season.
