Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kolkata Knight Riders Timeline

KKR and SRH come into this match with nothing to lose; their top-two finishes will serve as sufficient rewards.

In the Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kolkata Knight Riders timeline, Heinrich Klaasen’s breathtaking batting performance led SRH to a comfortable 110-run victory against Kolkata at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma also contributed with some key runs.

SRH vs KKR

As the Indian Premier League heads into its final phase, both teams have much at stake for themselves in this clash between titans KKR and SRH.

While one will attempt to delay the inevitable and keep playoff hopes alive while the other hopes for an emphatic victory – making for an exciting encounter that promises plenty of emotion, fire, and surprises! Here is their head-to-head record in IPL history.

SRH’s impressive batting performance helped them seal an easy win against Kolkata Knight Riders at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi in Match 68.

Heinrich Klaasen produced an outstanding 105-ball century that featured nine sixes and seven fours, supported by Travis Head’s quickfire 76 runs in just 25 balls – decimating their bowling line-up with short or full shots that Heinrich and Travis punished mercilessly; Jaydev Unadkat also recorded three wickets for the hosts.

KKR will look to rebound from their defeat at Wankhede Stadium and put up a good fight. They’ll lean heavily on Sunil Narine, Andre Russell and Rinku Singh to spark their middle order while Varun Chakravarthy has taken 17 wickets over their past 12 matches to be an effective bowler against SRH’s batsmen.

SRH have had an inconsistent campaign so far, but their top-order remains formidable. Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Travis Head have all played key roles in their team’s success while Nitish Kumar Reddy and Ishan Thakur provide plenty of young talent that makes the side more dynamic than ever.

IPL 2023

IPL 2023 has seen some intriguing rivalries, and that between KKR and SRH stands out among them. These teams first faced each other back in 2013 and since then have faced each other 29 times, each team winning 19 matches while one ended up resulting in a tie match.

This year, both teams are tied on points; therefore a win for either will secure them a top-four finish. KKR are in better form this season and should enter this game with momentum on their side; hopefully making amends for their last-gasp loss against CSK that ended their playoff hopes.

However, SRH could experience a dramatic transformation if their top order can find their groove. Abhishek Sharma has been their most consistent batsman this season with 407 runs scored at an impressive strike rate. Additionally, their bowlers have come through this season, led by Pat Cummins who has impressed numerous observers during this campaign.

A key factor in this game will be pitch condition. Being a day-night fixture, dew factor could play a part in the second innings – although Arun Jaitley Stadium has proved itself as a haven for batsmen this season as well as giving spinners some assistance in terms of pitch speed and length.

Even after their recent loss to SRH, KKR remains on top form and have an outstanding record against them at home – winning all three matches against this opponent and hoping to avenge their recent loss.

They will face an equally formidable challenge from Hyderabad but this time are in much stronger position to respond successfully.

KKR will likely field the same squad, with Rovman Poewel and Umran Malik out due to injury being replaced by Chetan Sakariya and Shivam Shukla respectively as replacements.

Their primary tasks will include keeping Rashid Khan and Ishan Kishan from taking advantage of green field conditions to put on an impressive show for their fans.

Match 29

At the tail-end of IPL 2019, SRH and KKR face each other once more for what amounts to a dead rubber on paper but an intense battle for pride. Both teams had already fallen out of playoff contention before meeting here; therefore, it’s essential both teams find some way of salvaging some credibility with victory here.

Skipper Pat Cummins won the toss and elected to bat first. Heinrich Klaasen scored an unbeaten century to help guide his hosts to 278/3, supported by Travis Head (76 off 40 balls) and Abhishek Sharma (36).

KKR began their chase with solid hitting from Quinton de Kock and Sunil Narine but were plagued with wickets throughout, which prevented them from reaching par scores. Even Manish Pandey and Harshal Patel couldn’t do much to keep the run rate going.

Jadeja stood out among SRH bowlers with three wickets per 24 overs, while Harsh Dubey and Eshan Malinga contributed three each. Jadeja managed to nab Sunil Narine in his opening over after he edged straight to deep midwicket; review confirmed this wicket as an edge.

Harshal Patel was next to depart for KKR as he edged the ball towards the third-man fence. Angkrish Raghuvanshi then struck twice with sixes and fours in an over from his bowler to bring up 100 runs for seventh wicket partnership; unfortunately the run rate remained too slow and they had no choice but to play out their remaining overs.

Jaydev Unadkat bowled the final over of the match for KKR, and it proved costly as he conceded 21 runs in one over, leaving them needing an incredible 118 runs from only 18 balls if they wanted any chance at salvaging a draw.

Unfortunately for them however, in that same over, Quinton de Kock got out off Malinga’s full toss and hit it into fielder at deep mid-wicket; thus sealing an easy 110 run win for SRH over their opposition.

IPL 2025

KKR and SRH have experienced an unforgettable rivalry during the Indian Premier League, offering some of its most thrilling moments. Boasting high-octane cricket, dramatic finishes, and dedicated fan bases – their games against one another have become iconic contests within this league’s landscape.

Over one hundred times they’ve faced off, enjoying many victories against each other during this period.

On May 25 at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, they meet again for Match 68 of this season, the last fixture. Though technically considered a dead rubber, pride may be at stake as loss would put SRH out of playoff contention while victory will provide momentum to KKR as they attempt to capture their first championship since 2010.

Both teams have experienced an up and down season so far, with KKR flirting with losing out of the top four positions due to inconsistent batting performances despite some impressive individual efforts.

KKR have got off to an encouraging start, with Gautam Gambhir scoring an unbeaten century off just 60 balls, and Nitish Rana adding 42. This puts them on course for a substantial total.

However, the SRH bowlers have proved too tough a task for them and soon find themselves at 95/6. Rashid Khan in particular has proven difficult as he has taken three wickets within two overs to stop any further progress from visitors.

SRH require some victories in their remaining matches to finish above fifth place and avoid elimination, but without Kane Williamson who will likely miss the remainder of the tournament due to an injury.

They’ll need young Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen – two players with great middle order potential who could provide relief.
