Pitch Report

Going by the history of this venue, the team that bats first has been able to put up a huge score on the board and win the match. Since the skies are clear and there is no threat of rain, one expects the captain to win the toss to bat first. Pace bowlers will get good movement off the wicket, while the spinners, too, will enjoy considerable success in the second half of the game.

Sunil Narine KKR | ALL

IPL 2024 has seen the best of Sunil Narine with the bat and also with the ball. The West Indian has been amazing at the top of the order and has given his team flying starts. Even with the ball Narine has taken wickets and also been economical.

8.5
C

Travis Head SRH | BAT

Australian star batter Travis Head has been one of the most destructive batters during IPL 2024 and his run-scoring form has helped SRH reach the playoffs. Pat Cummins will hope that Travis Head can repeat the feats of the 2023 ODI World Cup final at the same venue and help his team reach the finals.

8
C

Abhishek Sharma SRH | ALL

Young Abhishek Sharma yet again prooved why he is called the best young IPL 2024 talent with a brutal knock against Punjab Kings on Sunday. Having scored over 400 runs already this season, Abhishek Sharma will hope to score big once again in the key game on Tuesday.

9

Andre Russell KKR | ALL

West Indian star Andre Russell has been providing the muscle with the bat and also been bowling well for KKR this season. The Jamaican is back at the top of his game and this will be a huge plus for the KKR side heading into the massive game on Tuesday.

9

Heinrich Klaasen SRH | WK

South African wicket-keeper and batter Heinrich Klaasen has been one of the most effective middle-order batters this season for SRH. The 31-year-old has the ability to blaze any bowling attack with the bat on his day and will be key player in the first playoff game.

8.5

Venkatesh Iyer KKR | ALL

Giving KKR the solidity with the bat, Venkatesh Iyer has already had a great season. The 29-year-old hasn't let the attacking instincts of KKR die down even if they have lost a wicket. If Venkatesh Iyer can put in few more similar performances, KKR will stand atop the podium for the third time.

9

Bhuvneshwar Kumar SRH | BOWL

Sunrisers Hyderabad have depended on the experience of the 34-year-old with the new ball and also in the death overs. Bhuvneshwar Kumar will enjoy bowling in Ahmedabad where there is a lot on offer for bowlers who can swing the ball at decent pace.

7

Shreyas Iyer KKR | BAT

KKR skipper has had a mixed bag season with the bat but his captaincy has been winning lots of laurels. The 29-year-old will be determined to put up a huge score on the board and make a contribution and lead them to the finals.

8.5

Pat Cummins SRH | BOWL

One of the best captains in international in recent times, Pat Cummins has been terrific as a leader and also as a key member of the SRH side. The 31-year-old knows how to win the big titles and will want to impart the same upon his team and lead them to their 2nd IPL title.

8.5

Rinku Singh

KKR | BAT

Rinku Singh knows that the league phase matches have seen him perform poorly with the bat. The 26-year-old who wasn't picked for the T20 World Cup main squad has a lot to prove and that chance is during the IPL 2024 playoff game.

8

Mayank Markande

SRH | BOWL

The one area SRH have struggled this year has been that their spin bowling department has been poor. Mayank Maraknde has picked wickets but his economy rate has been a huge cause for concern heading into the playoffs.
