Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)took to the field for the first time in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at their very own Eden Gardens against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in a much-awaited clash on Saturday.
The Knight Riders have a spring in their step with legendary former skipper, and two-time IPL winner with the franchise, Gautam Gambhir returning after six years and Shreyas Iyer returning from injury back at the helm of affairs.
A rejuvenated pace attack along with a strong Indian core make KKR a force to watch out for. In the 25 games that KKR and SRH have played against each other, KKR have the wood over SRH with a 16-9 record.
The stats get even better for KKR if one zooms into their last six meetings. KKR are leading 4-2 and they will be aiming to make it 5-2 come tonight's game.
