Top 3 bowlers to watch out for in the SRH vs KKR clash

Kolkata Knight Riders are fighting for their survival in the IPL 2025 season. KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane has been tasked to ensure KKR enters the playoffs, and he needs his batters and bowlers to be in their best form against SRH. The Hyderabad-based franchise is already out of the tournament as rain spoiled their dream of entering the playoffs this year.

Only bowlers can help a team win tournaments, as their impact is big in crucial matches. SRH and KKR both have some great bowlers in their lineup, and let’s take a look at the top 3 bowlers to watch out for in the KKR vs SRH match before their clash in Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, Hyderabad. 

1. Pat Cummins

SRH Skipper played a big role in their match against Delhi Capitals, where he took 3 wickets. Lightning strikes thrice, and Pat Cummins will be the one bowler we will look up the most. As he doesnt have anything to prove in the tournament, he will be going all guns blazing, aiming for the crucial wickets of the KKR openers and the top order. If he strikes again in the power play, it will be game over for the visitors, as they don’t have enough firepower.

2. Sunil Narine

As usual, Narine has been the best player for KKR for many years. He shines both in batting and bowling, and can bowl in the powerplay and the death overs. He could take care of SRH’s top order and the middle order. Hyderabad has always been a flat track, which is a heaven for the batters. But Sunil Narine could be crucial in these kinds of tracks, and if he could take the big wickets of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, then there is nothing more left for SRH.

3. Varun Chakravarthy

Spin will be the biggest weapon for the Kolkata Knight Riders against SRH. As KKR are counting their playoff chances, only the best bowlers can take them to their goal. Varun Chakravarthy is one such bowler who can win matches for his team. Even in a high-scoring game against Rajasthan, Varun bowled well, taking the crucial wickets of Jurel and Hasaranga back to back. He will be the one who can pull down SRH batters from going big.
