On Saturday evening, Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on Kolkata Knight Riders in match 3 of the IPL 2024. The high-octane clash is scheduled at the historic Eden Gardens stadium in Kolkata. 

Regarding SRH, the Orange Army made a significant change to their leadership group, appointing Pat Cummins as their captain for the season. 

Although SRH have assembled a robust squad, they might face the problem of plenty, with several top-class overseas players present. 


SRH's probable XI vs KKR

The Sunrisers will likely open the batting with Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma. With Pat Cummins at the helm, his Aussie teammate Head, who won Australia the 50-over World Cup last year. 

Experienced Indian batter Rahul Tripathi will follow the left-handed duo at number three, where he has enjoyed stellar success for the franchise. The Sunrisers' SA20 captain, Aiden Markram, will likely bat at number four, where he has amassed 615 runs at an average of 34.17. 

Swashbuckling South African batter Heinrich Klaasen, who smashed 448 runs at a blistering strike rate of 177.08 last season, will bat at number five and will likely be followed by Abdul Samad. 

Considering his underwhelming performance for the franchise, Washington Sundar is expected to make way for Shahbaz Ahmed, who was traded to RCB before the mini auction. 

Skipper Pat Cummins will bat at number eight, followed by three bowlers- Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mayank Markande and T Natarajan. 

Besides these players, SRH will likely include Sundar alongside Jaydev Unadkat, Umran Malik, Anmolpreet Singh and Mayank Agarwal as their impact players.
