Sunrisers Hyderabad will be looking to continue their winning run in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 when the Aiden Markram-led side take on Kolkata Knight Riders on Thursday.

In their previous match, SRH rode brilliant batting performances from Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen along with a disciplined bowling show from Mayank Markande to beat Delhi Capitals.

The onus will once again be on the top order batters to provide SRH with a solid start after a few early dismissals. Abhishek Sharma has been a top performer for his side in the past few matches and he will once again open the batting with Mayank Agarwal.

Rahul Tripathi and skipper Markram comprise of the top order while England star Harry Brook has been given the role of strengthening the middle order.
