KKR vs SRH IPL highlights: SRH defeat KKR by 23 runs

Nitish Rana, captain, Kolkata Knight Riders: "Thanks for the compliments on the run chase. I feel the way we bowled was not according to the plans. No matter what the wicket was like, this wasn’t a 230 wicket. One odd day you’ll get an innings like Rinku had the other day, but not everyday. We batted really well, we wanted to take the game deep and then you never know. Home advantage is one thing, but we know Eden Gardens tracks always play this way, we expected 200 to be a par score here and have been preparing that way, but we need to bowl better. Today, even the main bowlers were going for runs but I can’t be too critical because these are the same bowlers who will win me a game some other time. Very happy with the fight we showed but would have loved it more if we got two points as well."

Aiden Markram, captain, Sunrisers Hyderabad: "Feels good winning away from home. Was always going to be a tight game. With their firepower we knew the total wasn't safe. Our bowlers showed character. I was fortunate that we got off to a great start. Makes life easier. We bat quite deep so you get the freedom. We all know Harry - his ability we have seen. Giving a player like that the time to face a lot of balls. He's Mr. Reliable for sure (Bhuvi). Certainly helps the dressing room. It's a great bunch of guys. It's cricket at the end of the day, always going to teach you a lesson."

Lost: 29 

Mayank Markande picked up a four-wicket haul against Punjab Kings and would like to repeat the same performance against Kolkata Knight Riders. 

Varun Chakravarthy picked up a four-wicket haul when he played last time at the Eden Gardens against RCB. Chakravarthy will eye yet another good performance in the match vs SRH. 

The Eden Gardens pitch however offers a lot of help to the spinners but is also good for batting. With the KKR vs SRH IPL 2023 scheduled to take place in the evening the spinners might not get much help. 

KKR skipper Nitish Rana till now has not been able to score much runs in the Indian Premier League 2023. Rana showed a bit of intent in the last match against Gujarat Titans and will be hoping to make a big score against Sunrisers Hyderabad, 

Gujarat Titans beat Punjab Kings by six wickets in match 18 of the Indian Premier League in Mohali. 

Kolkata Knight Riders will have an upper hand walking into the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Kolkata but with both the teams having balanced squads anyone can emerge victorious in the match.

Aiden Markram led Sunrisers Hyderabad struggled to win their first two matches of the IPL 2023 and also was not able to find the right team balance. In the last match vs PBKS, both the bowlers and batsmen came out to perform for SRH and seem they have found the right team balance. 

Rinku Singh took Kolkata Knight Riders to a historic win by smashing five sixes off the last in the match vs Gujarat Titans and will be once again looking to repeat the same performance vs SRH.
