IPL 2022, SRH Predicted XI vs KKR: Will Sean Abott Make His Debut For SRH?

After losing their first two matches, SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) have turned around their fortunes and are on a two-match winning run. They now face Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), who were beaten by the Delhi Capitals in their last game. SRH have been pretty good with the ball so far, and their batters have also seemed to find their rhythm after shaky outings in the first two match. The Kane Williamson-led side, however, could still make a tweak or two in their playing XI. Sean Abbott could be in for his SRH debut, and is likely to replace Marco Jansen. Washington Sundar will also miss the match due to an injury.

IPL 2022, KKR Predicted XI vs SRH: Can Ajinkya Rahane Keep His Place?

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have had a good start to their season, winning three out of five matches. They slipped to defeat in their last game against Delhi Capitals, but will be looking to bounce back when they take on SunRisers Hyderabad at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Friday. KKR have most of their bases covered, but could end up making a few changes, with Aaron Finch available now and Ajinkya Rahane not impressing since anchoring their chase in the season opener. However, bringing Finch in would mean benching Sam Billings, who has looked good so far this season.

"Ridiculous Move:" Sanjay Manjrekar Slams Rajasthan Royals For "Bizarre" Tactic vs Gujarat Titans

Gujarat Titans went to the top of the IPL 2022 points table after registering their fourth win this season. The Hardik Pandya-led side defeated Rajasthan Royals by 37 runs on Thursday. It was a complete all-round performance as Gujarat first scored 192/4 in 20 overs and then they restricted Rajasthan Royals to 155/9. Chasing 193, Rajasthan Royals tried something out of the box as they sent in Ravichandran Ashwin at No.3 to partner Jos Buttler who was going hell for leather. However, this move has been criticised by former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar as he termed it as "baffling" and "ridiculous".

The batter has brought his A-game to almost every match for the franchise this season and the bowlers have found it tough to dismiss the batter early.
