On Saturday, two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders will lock horns with the 2016 season winners Sunrisers Hyderabad in match 3 of the Indian Premier League 2024. The high-octane clash is scheduled at the iconic Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata. 

Led by Shreyas Iyer, the Knight Riders seem rejuvenated after Gautam Gambhir's homecoming to the franchise as the team mentor. Besides Iyer, they have some really impactful players- Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell and Sunil Narine. 

On the other hand, SRH, who witnessed a leadership change before the season, also have a lineup that can wreak havoc in the opposition camp. 

While Pat Cummins will lead the team, the likes of Travis Head, Aiden Markram, Rahul Tripathi and Heinrich Klaasen will be certain threats to the Knight Riders. 

So, as they get ready for a fascinating battle, let's see what the stats say and how the surface in Kolkata will behave throughout the game.
