The Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad will witness a huge clash as the home team Sunrisers Hyderabad gets ready to lock horns with Lucknow Super Giants. It is a must-win game for both sides as they know that there is a lot on the line with two matches left to play in the IPL 2024 season after this encounter.

Pat Cummins and his team began the season with a bang as their batting became the talk of the town. The last few matches though have seen teams exploit some of the weaknesses that SRH may possess with the bat as well as with the ball.

Lucknow Super Giants who made their IPL debut in 2022 along with Gujarat Titans are looking to make history. KL Rahul will want his side to make it to their third playoff in as many seasons by beating the fancied Hyderabad side in front of their home side.

Here are the top three player battles from the SRH vs LSG Match 57 of IPL 2024

3. Mohsin Khan vs Travis Head

Lucknow Super Giants will bank on their pacer Mohsin Khan to deliver with the ball again. The left-arm pacer has bowled with great intelligence and can surprise the batters with his pace and swing with the new ball.

Travis Head has made it a habit of making the opposition bowlers look pedestrian. The 30-year-old has been one of the most feared batters during the IPL 2024 season and has given SRH many great stats. These two players could light up the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Wednesday as a potential player battle is enticing for the fans.

2. Ravi Bishnoi vs Heinrich Klaasen

Young spin bowler Ravi Bishnoi without doubt is one of the most exciting spin bowling talents from India. The 23-year-old will be licking his lips with a potential player battle against Heinrich Klaasen who is struggling for form in recent times.

The South African fell to Piyush Chawla when he was beaten for pace to give the veteran Mumbai Indians spinner a huge wicket. Ravi Bishnoi would have watched that dismissal and will want to exploit the same weakness when SRH and LSG come face to face on Wednesday.

1. Bhuvneshwar Kumar vs KL Rahul

This is the one player battle that each and everyone will be waiting with bated breath for. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is a feared customer with the new ball and has the knack of taking wickets in the first over of the game.

KL Rahul has seen his strike rate come into question again after his rather cautious knock versus KKR. The 32-year-old has been troubled by swing bowling and Bhuvneshwar Kumar will want to add KL Rahul’s scalp to his already impressive resume in the IPL.
