KKR vs SRH Toss Factor
The toss has played a significant role at this venue. 62.5% of the matches have been won by the team chasing the target. However, SRH have defended well in the tournament, and they have repeated that in Qualifier 2 and might look to do the same in the Grand Finale.
Scenario: If Kolkata Knight Riders win the toss
- Kolkata Knight Riders will field first after winning the toss. They have been a good chasing team in the tournament and will try to do the same in this game.
- Sunil Narine, Shreyas Iyer, and Andre Russell will be the best choices from the batting side of KKR.
- Mitchell Starc is a big-match player who has proved that in Eliminator 1. He will be a prime choice for the fantasy contests. Alongside Starc, Varun Chakravarthy will also be a good C or VC choice.
Scenario: If Sunrisers Hyderabad win the toss
- The Sunrisers Hyderabad have defended targets nicely in this tournament. Though the MA Chidambaram Stadium wicket has favoured the chasing team, SRH might look to play to their strength and bat first on winning the toss.
- Travis Head, Heinrich Klaasen, Rahul Tripathi and Abhishek Sharma will be the best choices from the SRH batting.
- Pat Cummins and T Natarajan will be the best choices from the bowling attack of the SRH team.
KKR vs SRH Top Captain and Vice-captain Picks
Scenario: If Kolkata Knight Riders win the match
Sunil Narine (KKR)
The Trinidadian all-rounder has emerged as the biggest match-winner for KKR in this tournament. Sunil Narine will be the safest C or VC choice for this game.

Varun Chakravarthy (KKR)
The Indian spinner has been in terrific wicket-taking form during the tournament. Varun Chakravarthy will have the advantage of knowing the conditions, as this is his home venue.
Scenario: If Sunrisers Hyderabad win the match
Travis Head (SRH)
The Australian opener has been destructive in this IPL. Travis Head has played some explosive knocks and has given some great starts to the team in the tournament. Head is a big match player and will be a safe option as the C or VC for this game.
T Natarajan (SRH)
The Indian left-arm medium pacer has been in good form throughout the tournament. T Natarajan is picking up regular wickets and could be a rewarding choice as the C or VC of the match.
KKR vs SRH High Risk, High Rewards
Rahmanullah Gurbaz (KKR)
After Philip Salt's departure, the Afghan wicket-keeper is getting a chance to be part of the playing unit. Gurbaz played a good hand in the Qualifier 1. However, his ability to adapt to the Chennai wicket will be the actual test.

Rahul Tripathi (SRH)
The Indian batter has been in brilliant touch in the recent matches. Rahul Tripathi has played a couple of great cameos in the last two games. However, his consistency has been a concern previously, and that is why Tripathi will be a risky choice as the C or VC for the match.
KKR vs SRH Stay Aways
Vaibhav Arora (KKR)
The young Indian bowler made a promising start to the tournament. But Vaibhav Arora has not delivered any significant spells after the initial couple of matches. In his current form, Arora looks like a player to avoid as the C or VC for the match.
Aiden Markram (SRH)
The South African middle-order batter has found it hard to get going in the tournament. The form that Aiden Markram is in, expectations from him to deliver a performance leaving an impact as the C or VC seems a bit too much.
