IPL 2025: Top 3 batters to watch out for in the SRH vs KKR clash

KKR is facing SRH in their next match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. The defending champions are fighting for their spot in the playoffs as they are placed sixth in the table. The two teams played in the 2024 IPL Finals, and the Kolkata-based franchise emerged victorious.

But this match is a do-or-die battle for them, as if they lose, their playoff dream will be shattered. So there is a big chance that SRH can upset the defending champions with their ruthless batting approach. Let us watch out for these top 3 batters before the match.

1. Abhishek Sharma

The 24-year-old batter from Punjab is making headlines with his aggressive batting approach. Abhishek Sharma is one of the biggest finds last year when he thrashed the opposition to all parts of the ground alongside his opening partner, Travis Head. He will be the biggest threat for KKR bowlers as leaving a small chance can cost them big.

2. Andre Russell

The Windies all-rounder has been part of the Kolkata family for a very long time. He is playing for the Kolkata-based franchise across the globe and is one of the biggest assets for them. With his mighty hitting and crucial bowling spell, he can take the game away from the opposition. Russell has a big history of smashing the SRH bowlers in their many previous encounters. Pat Cummins needs to bring a new plan to take on Andrew Russell.

3. Ishan Kishan

The Indian wicketkeeper batter from Ranchi hasn’t been able to win matches for his team since the century he made in his debut for SRH. As the sun risers are out of the competition, there is very little pressure surrounding him. The match against the Kolkata Knight Riders will be the perfect chance to get back to form. As a good player of spin bowling, Kolkata has some of the great spinners and taking them on will boost his confidence level.
