"When Muralitharan Showed His Anger...": Mohammad Kaif On The Turning Point In SunRisers Hyderabad's Poor Run
SunRisers Hyderabad has had a topsy-turvy run in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. After losing their first two games, the Kane Williamson-led side won their next five game to enter the top-four in the points table. However, they have now lost their last four games to be placed seventh in the points table. SRH face the eighth-placed Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday in a crucial match. Before the match, former Indian cricket team player Mohammad Kaif gave his take on where SRH faltered.
Sunil Gavaskar Identifies "Premier Player" For KKR In IPL 2022
Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Shreyas Iyer has so far scored 336 runs in 12 games in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season and he is one of the lynchpins of the side's batting lineup. Shreyas' best knock this season came against Rajasthan Royals as he scored 85. KKR are currently in the seventh position in the points table and they need to win their remaining two matches to have any chance of making it to the playoffs. Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar believes that Iyer can now bat freely as the middle order batters have finally started making contributions.
IPL 2022, KKR Predicted XI vs SRH: Will Pat Cummins Injury Open Up A Slot For Sam Billings?
Kolkata Knight Riders were dealt a heavy blow in the form of an injury that has ruled all-rounder Pat Cummins out for the rest of IPL 2022. Cummins starred with the ball in their last match, a 52-run win over Mumbai Indians, and his absence would mean that their team balance takes a big hit when they take on SunRisers Hyderabad with an eye on keeping their playoff hopes alive. With Andre Russell, Sunil Narine and Tim Southee having played the last match -- and all of them likely to retain their places -- it would open up a chance for KKR to bring in an extra batter, possibly in the form of Sam Billings. This would see Sheldon Jackson potentially replaced by Shivam Mavi.
IPL 2022, KKR vs SRH: Unsettled Kolkata Knight Riders face stern Sunrisers Hyderabad test
Kolkata Knight Riders’ campaign in this IPL can be summed up in this one sentence. The side fielding the maximum number of players in this tournament is yet to find the perfect combination. Although they are still in with a mathematical chance to make the playoffs, they no longer have their fate in own hands. Even if they win their remaining two games, they will need many other results to go their way in order to travel to their home at the Eden Gardens for the last phase of the IPL. On the contrary, Sunrisers Hyderabad have a lot at stake when the two sides clash at the MCA Stadium in Pune on Saturday. The Kane Williamson-led side has often punched above its weight in this edition to remain in fray for a top-four finish.

SunRisers Hyderabad Predicted XI vs Kolkata Knight Riders, IPL 2022: Should Marco Jansen Be Included In The Final XI?
A struggling SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) will hope to end their four-game losing streak when they take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Saturday. SRH have so far endured contrasting fortunes with four back-to-back losses after being on a high of registering five consecutive wins.

KKR vs SRH, IPL 2022: When And Where To Watch Live Telecast, Live Streaming
Struggling after four straight losses, Sunrisers Hyderabad will need to sort their bowling woes when they take on an inconsistent Kolkata Knight Riders as both the teams look to to stay afloat in the IPL play-off race here on Saturday. A series of losses after a five-match winning streak has dropped SRH to the sixth spot with 10 points and they would need to win all the remaining three games to salvage any hopes of making it to the play-offs. With 10 points, KKR, however, are on the brink of elimination. Shreyas Iyer's men has just two more matches to go and wins in both will only take them to 14 points, which might not be enough with Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore already sitting pretty in the top four with 14 points from 13 games.
