Last season they had benched Jonny Bairstow and Wriddhiman Saha made an instant impact with Warner upfront before acquisition aggrieved. But with all three available now, it remains to be skilled how Sunrisers condition out their top order, where Kane Williamson should be a certainty. The main intrust would be led by Manish Pandey with Priyam Garg, Abhishek Sharma, Abdul Samad and it would be interesting to see how they fit in Kedar Jadhav, their latest acquirement.

With Rashid Khan another certainty and T Natarajan possession coming on impressively in the last few months, SRH may rotate all-rounders Holder and Mohammed Nabi, who amusement only one gamble last season, as the tournament progresses. The match-upways are interesting too: Warner vs Pat Cummins, Shubman Gill vs Bhuvneshwar, Andre Russell/Morgan vs Rashid.

Probable Playing XI of SRH:

  2. Rahul Tripathi
  3. Nitesh Rana
  4. Eoin Morgan
  5. Andre Russell
  6. Dinesk Karthik
  7. Shakib Al Hasan

  11. Prasidh Krishna

KKR’s above predicted 11 look a lot more balanced with plenty of options for each spot in the team. This team should definitely find the right combination in this season for most of their games.

Pitch Analysis:

The Pitch seemed quite slow but a good wicket to bat and put up a decent total if batting first. As seen in the Opener of IPL 2021 between MI and RCB; there wasn’t much dew in the later half of the game and it didn’t favour the team batting 2nd as it would do in presence of dew on the venue. So decision to bat or bowl after winning the toss shouldn’t be based on the dew factor in mind. Rather look to keep it simple and decide whether a run-chase will help team win or defending the score based on the bowling lineup of the teams respectively.
