SunRisers Hyderabad Predicted XI vs Kolkata Knight Riders, IPL 2023: Harry Brook To Be Dropped?

The Aiden Markram-led SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) eye back-to-back wins as they take on the high-flying Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on the road at the Eden Gardens on Friday. SRH strong on paper after some big buys like Harry Brook, Mayank Agarwal and Heinrich Klaasen at the auction.

With 7-down Kolkata Knight Riders needing 29 runs off the last over, it was unlikely for most to hope that the side would give a fight to their opponents Gujarat Titans.

Yash Dayal was handed the ball in the final over and the first delivery went for a single. With 28 needed off 5 balls, GT would have thought that the game was in their pocket, however, KKR's Rinku Singh had some other idea. Rinku hit five consecutive sixes and sealed a nearly impossible victory for Nitish Rana and company.
