IPL 2025 Prediction – Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad

IPL 2025: Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Prediction

Kolkata Knight Riders will compete against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 15th cricket match of the 2025 Indian Premier League on Thursday. KKR vs SRH will be the 2nd game to be played at the Eden Gardens in IPL 2025. Both teams are on the back foot at the start of the competition, having managed a solitary win from their respective 3 matches. 

Kolkata Knight Riders, who made a stunning comeback with an 8-wicket victory over Rajasthan Royals, suffered a thrashing 8-wicket defeat at the hands of Mumbai Indians to be pushed down to the bottom of the table. In contrast, Sunrisers Hyderabad, who beat Rajasthan Royals by 44 runs during their IPL 2025 opener, endured tough outcomes in the next two matches, where they went down by 5 wickets and 7 wickets, respectively, against Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals. 

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad is expected to be a mouth-watering clash, with the surface at the Eden Gardens tailor-made for batting. Check our analysis for both squads before putting your money on IPL online betting. Click to check IPL betting tips for IPL betting online.

Kolkata Knight Riders Squad Analysis

Recent Form: Lost, Won, Lost, Won, Won

Probable Playing XI: Quinton de Kock (wk), Sunil Narine, Ajinkya Rahane (c), Angkrish Raghuvanshi / Vaibhav Arora, Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakravarthy, Anrich Nortje / Spencer Johnson. 

Kolkata Knight Riders are looking for a revival in their upcoming fixture where they host last season’s runners-up, Sunrisers Hyderabad on Thursday. Whenever their batters have fired, Kolkata Knight Riders have always come on top and it was evident during their victory against Rajasthan Royals, where they chased down 151 with 15 balls left and 2 wickets in hand. 

Quinton de Kock made his redemption in some style with an unbeaten 97* from 61 balls. However, during their losses against the Royal Challengers and Mumbai Indians, they failed to fire as a unit and could only make 174 for 8 and 116 all out, respectively.

It’s going to be a massive litmus test for new franchise skipper Ajinkya Rahane, who needs to step up with the bat and also needs to regroup the side. He will be expecting improved performances from their big buys, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, and Venkatesh Iyer. They lack depth in their Indian fast bowling line-up that only has Harshit Rana, Vaibhav Arora, and Chetan Sakariya. 

Their spin attack looks versatile, having seasoned campaigners Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy, who are highly deceptive and, on their day will make the batters dance. With minimal bowling resources, they are doing well and expect their well-oiled batting line-up to make a statement in the coming matches. 

The squad is filled with class and attacking batters, which is a good blend to have in the shortest format.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Squad Analysis:

Recent Form: Lost, Lost, Won, Lost, Won

Probable Playing XI: Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head / Wiaan Mulder, Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Aniket Verma, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Abhinav Manohar, Pat Cummins (c), Harshal Patel, Mohammed Shami, Zeeshan Ansari. 

Not the right kind of start, Sunrisers Hyderabad had hoped for at the beginning of the 2025 Indian Premier League. Pat Cummins and his side, managed to collect a mere 2 points from their first 3 matches and positioned 8th in the standings. 

They got off the mark with their usual batting masterclass, posting 286 for 6 against Rajasthan Royals, the second-best score in IPL history, and ended up winning the game. Orange Army also holds the highest team total (287), which came against Royal Challengers Bengaluru last season. 

Their downhill performances started when they got thrashed badly at the hands of Lucknow Super Giants by 5 wickets, where they failed to defend 190. It went from bad to worse when they lost to Delhi Capitals by 7 wickets in the follow-up. Rookie batter Aniket Verma’s dynamic show (74 from 41 balls) made the headlines, yet they managed 163 all out, their lowest score in the 2025 Indian Premier League. In the defense, leg spinner Zeeshan Ansari’s spell caught the attention, who picked up 3 wickets on his IPL debut. 

The form of their bowlers is a worrying sign. Apart from Harshal Patel (8.77), the rest of the bowlers have gone at more than 10 runs an over. 

Looking at their batting, their guns, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and Nitish Kumar Reddy need to level up their standards.

What are the odds for KKR vs SRH?

The IPL betting odds for KKR vs SRH are 2.08 for KKR to win and 1.75 for SRH to win.

How many matches did KKR win against SRH?

KKR and SRH have met each other 28 times in IPL, with KKR holding the upper hand with 18 wins. SRH emerged victorious on 9 occasions. 

Top Run-Scorer Prediction: Travis Head

Travis Head is among the runs for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2025 Indian Premier League, scoring 136 runs in 3 matches at an average of 45.33 with a strike rate of 191.54. He has hit only one half-century so far and is hungry to score big runs. The fast-paced Eden Gardens’ surface will be ideal for his style of play, and the Aussie Southpaw will look to encash most of the opportunity. He is expected to score more runs in the KKR vs SRH IPL 2025 game on Thursday.

Top Wicket-Taker Prediction: Varun Chakravarthy

The 33-year-old mystery spinner from Tamil Nadu has been the talk of the town at the moment, ever since he landed in India’s Champions Trophy squad that triumphed in Dubai last month. Varun Chakravarthy has been the lead spinner for Kolkata Knight Riders and has been consistent for the franchise over the years. 

He has bamboozled the batters with his unique mystery spin and put on a show in the ongoing IPL 2025. In 3 matches, he bagged 3 wickets at an economy of 6.54 with the best figures of 2 for 17. We predict Varun Chakravarthy to pick more wickets in the Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad game.  

KKR vs SRH IPL 2025 Winner Prediction:

Both teams are evenly matched on paper, with prolific hitters in their lineups. Historically, the surface at Eden Gardens is not favorable for spin, so the batters are expected to score more runs than usual. Kolkata Knight Riders will enjoy home comfort and are expected to win this match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. For more IPL 2025 predictions, check out our IPL betting tips on GUGOBET.

Which IPL team is the best?

The most lucrative cricket league in the world, Indian Premier League, is getting better and better. The 17th edition is in full swing and half of the tournament is over. Rajasthan Royals are the current leaders having won 8 matches while Royal Challengers Bengaluru are still struggling down at the bottom of the standings with 3 wins. The impact sub-rule which was introduced last year is getting plenty of attention this season and the teams have made complete use of it as a result we are witnessing the excess of 250 plus scores consistently. 

Understanding that IPL has a rich fan base and to garner their attention, the surfaces are usually flat and the runs will automatically flow. Having struggled all these years, bowlers got some sort of advantage with two bouncers per over but that didn’t click to the fullest. Plenty of things have changed over the last 16 years but the craze of the fans remains the same. 

Here in this article, we will discuss how the teams have performed over the last 16 years in our IPL betting online platform. Do follow our website for more content related to IPL Prediction 2024. 

IPL History

India lifted the inaugural edition of the T20 World Cup back in 2007 under the leadership of MS Dhoni and the celebrations went wild throughout the country. This prompted the BCCI to counter the rebel Indian Cricket League and they started a franchise-based T20 League named Indian Premier League in 2008. Initially, it was an eight-team tournament featuring Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Kolkata Knight Riders, Punjab Kings, Delhi Daredevils, Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings, and Deccan Chargers. 

Following the success in the first two years, allowed BCCI to expand the league to 10 teams in the 2011 edition with Kochi Tuskers and Pune Warriors coming as the new entrants. Kochi Tuskers sustained only one season and was terminated by the BCCI while Pune Warriors dropped themselves out of the League in 2013. 

Gujarat Lions and Raising Pune Super Giants replaced Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals in the 2016 and 2017 editions who were suspended due to spot-fixing scandals. 

When the League was played under closed doors in 2020 in UAE due to covid pandemic, there was a considerable spike in the viewership which led BCCI to expand the league to 10 teams once again. Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants won the bids and made their league debuts in 2022. 

Teams Journey Thus Far in IPL

Royal Challengers Bengaluru:

The franchise based out of Bengaluru has the most passionate and loyal fans, though their team hasn’t won the title since the tournament’s inception in 2008. M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is their home venue. As a team, they suffered more failures than successes throughout their entire IPL campaign. They fell short of winning the title by the barest of margins thrice when they reached the finals in 2009, 2011, and 2016. Challengers held the highest IPL Team score of 263 until 2024 which was broken by Sunrisers Hyderabad the same year. 

Indian cricketing legend Rahul Dravid was their first captain who led the side in 2008 but the side failed under him completely and they ended up finishing 7th in the table with only 4 wins. Kevin Pietersen, Anil Kumble, Daniel Vettori, Virat Kohli, Shane Watson, and Faf du Plessis are the other players to lead the franchise. Their best season came in the year 2016 but they lost in the finals against Sunrisers Hyderabad by mere 8 runs. Skipper Virat Kohli enjoyed a dream run, smashing 973 runs in 16 matches that included 4 centuries and 7 half-centuries.

Kolkata Knight Riders

Co-owned by Bollywood stars Shahrukh Khan and Juhi Chawla, Kolkata Knight Riders rank themselves as the 3rd best team in the IPL having won the title in 2012 and 2014. They didn’t enjoy a great run in the first three years as they ended up in the league stages. Sourav Ganguly was their icon player who led the side in 2008 and 2010. Brendon McCullum, Gautam Gambhir, Jacques Kallis, Dinesh Karthik, Eoin Morgan, Shreyas Iyer, and Nitish Rana are the other players to lead the side.

Things started to change when they brought Gautam Gambhir in the 2011 auction and the batter from Delhi provided a good result taking the side to the Playoffs in his very first season for the franchise followed by a successful campaign in 2012 where they clinched the title for the first time beating Chennai Super Kings in the finals at Chepauk. They lifted their 2nd title in 2014 when they outsmarted Punjab Kings in the summit clash at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru.

They came close to their 3rd IPL title in 2021 but they lost to Chennai Super Kings in the finals by 27 runs. In the ongoing 2024 edition, they are doing well, winning 6 of their 9 matches to place themselves 2nd in the standings with 12 points. 

Knight Riders ranked 3rd among the IPL Teams following their performances over the years.

Chennai Super Kings

Yellow Brigade is one of the consistent performers and undoubtedly the best team in IPL history. They won the title 5 times and ended up as runners on 5 occasions. 2020 and 2022 are the only two years where they finished in the league stages. MS Dhoni is the only player to be with the franchise since 2008, he led the side in 235 matches and has a 60.42 winning record. Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ruturaj Gaikwad are the other players to lead the franchise.

MS Dhoni passed his captaincy baton to Ruturaj Gaikwad in the ongoing 2024 edition where they currently placed 3rd in the standings with 10 points.

Mumbai Indians

The Mumbai Indians franchise is owned by India’s most successful businessman Mukesh Ambani. They have won the joint most titles in IPL with 5 to their name. Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai is their home venue. Mumbai Indians’ journey didn’t begin well in the first two seasons as they settled for league stages and their success started in 2010 when they ended up as runners-up losing to Chennai Super Kings. They crowned champions for the first time in 2013 under Rohit Sharma and later went on to win the titles in 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020. For all these records, we can easily say Mumbai Indians are one of the best teams in the IPL. 

Having not got the desired results in the 2021, 2022, and 2023 seasons, the management took a tough call to change their skipper in 2024, Hardik Pandya who was traded to the franchise from Gujarat Titans appointed as their new captain.

It’s advisable not to bet on Mumbai Indians going all the way to the Playoffs in the 2024 edition on our IPL betting online platform.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Sunrisers Hyderabad is owned by Kalanithi Maran and the team took part in the IPL for the first time in 2013. Sunrisers Hyderabad came on board when Deccan Chargers were terminated from the league in 2012. In their debut season, they made a giant stride to qualify for the playoffs. The team got their breakthrough when they emerged champions in 2016 beating Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the finals. They enjoyed a great run between 2017-2020, managing to qualify for the playoffs. In 2021, their downfall started and didn’t go well in the next two seasons as they settled for League stages. 

The franchise is currently doing well in the 2024 edition, under newly appointed skipper Pat Cummins and Head Coach Daniel Vettori. Kumar Sangakkara, Cameron White, Shikhar Dhawan, Darren Sammy, David Warner, Kane Williamson, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Manish Pandey, and Aiden Markram are the captains to lead the team in the previous years. Sunrisers Hyderabad holds the highest team total in the IPL, registering 287 runs against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

They were suspended for match-fixing allegations in the 2016 and 2017 editions. Shane Warne, Rahul Dravid, Shane Watson, Steven Smith, and Ajinkya Rahane have led the side in different years. Sanju Samson is the current skipper and under him the side is doing exceptionally well, winning 8 of their 9 matches to occupy the top position in the standings.

Delhi Capitals

Delhi Daredevils rebranded as Delhi Capitals when JSW Sports bought the 50 per cent stake in 2018. The franchise plays its home games in Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. The Capitals haven’t had great success in the league’s history. Their best result to date is qualifying for the finals in 2020 where they lost to Mumbai Indians. They lost in the Semi-Finals in the first two seasons and entered the Playoffs in 2012, 2019, and 2021. Between 2013-2018 they were consistently poor and settled for the league stages. 

Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Dinesh Karthik, James Hopes, Mahela Jayawardene, Ross Taylor, David Warner, Kevin Pietersen, JP Duminy, Zaheer Khan, Karun Nair, Shreyas Iyer have led the side. Rishabh Pant and Ricky Ponting are their current skipper and Head Coach respectively.

Co-owned by Preity Zinta, Mohit Burman, Ness Wadia and Karan Paul, Punjab Kings is the under-performed team in the IPL so far, managing to qualify for the semi-finals once in the inaugural edition and made a solitary appearance in the finals back in 2014. In the remaining editions, they ended up in the league stages. Kings have used as many as 15 skippers to date which is the most by any team in the IPL. They shifted their new home to Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur this year from I.S Bindra Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. 

In the ongoing season, they are currently placed 8th in the standings with 6 points.

Gujarat Titans

Owned by CVC Capital Partners, the Gujarat Titans franchise made their first IPL appearance in the 2022 edition and made history in the inaugural edition to be crowned as champions beating Rajasthan Royals in the finals at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium. Hardik Pandya’s captaincy gained a lot of appreciation as he led the side to the title in his first stint as the skipper. Titans backed up their performance in the following edition but missed out on winning back-to-back titles with a last-ball defeat to Chennai Super Kings in the 2023 finals.

They missed the services of Hardik Pandya for the 2024 edition after a record-breaking trade with Mumbai Indians. They are struggling in the current season with 4 wins under their belt from 10 matches.

KL Rahul is their first captain who led the side throughout the season in 2022. Krunal Pandya served as a stand-in skipper in 2023 for 6 matches while Nicholas Pooran made his captaincy debut for the franchise in 2024.

Which Team has won the most titles in the IPL?

Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings have won 5 titles each, the most in the tournament history. We can say Chennai Super Kings as the baap of the IPL Team for their consistent performances over the years. Mumbai Indians who were crowned champions in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020 still need to perform well to be considered as the baap of the IPL Team. Considering their performances over the years, we can conclude that CSK and MI are the best teams in the IPL. 

Which IPL Team has the most fans in the IPL?

Chennai Super Kings tops the list in fan following across social media platforms with 39.4m followers followed by Mumbai Indians (35.4m) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (30.6m).

Every year, the new season of the IPL is expected to light up cricket stadiums all across India, and the league has not disappointed this time around at all. We have seen old foes become friends, hugging it out on the cricket field, whereas new rivalries have brewed between the 22 yards.

IPL betting online and IPL predictions for 2024 on GUGOBET bring an extra layer of anticipation and excitement to the league, which gets more people to follow the Indian Premier League. Let us have a look at the most exciting and memorable moments in the IPL 2024 season that have made the tournament more exciting and thrilling.

Kolkata Knight Riders Wins the Title for the 3rd Time

Knight Riders, led by Shreyas Iyer, beat Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL final 2024, which looked one-sided at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. Losing the toss became a blessing in disguise for the Knight Riders, who produced a strong bowling show to limit the in-form Sunrisers to just 113, the lowest total by a team in the finals. Shah Rukh Khan’s co-owned franchise, Kolkata Knight Riders, emerged as the IPL 2024 winner. 

The most expensive player in IPL history, Mitchell Starc, brought at Rs 24.75 crores by Knight Riders, provided the breakthrough early on with quick wickets of Abhishek Sharma and Rahul Tripathi. In the end, he was adjudged the Player of the Match. Andre Russell (3 wickets) and Harshit Rana (2 wickets) all added to the glamour of the summit clash. 

The chase looked a formality as they aced it in just 10.3 overs, where Venkatesh Iyer smacked an unbeaten 52* runs, while opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz added 39 runs. For his all-round brilliance, Sunil Narine was named the Most Valuable Player of IPL 2024 where he picked up 17 wickets and scored 488 runs. 

Most Centuries in a Single IPL Season

The introduction of the Impact Player Rule in the 2023 season, gave batters more freedom to express themselves as most teams used a genuine batter as an impact substitute. The players who were batting up the order started to score at a faster rate as a result of which 14 centuries were scored in the IPL 2024, the most in a single IPL season. Marcus Stoinis’ match-winning 124* from 63 balls against Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk, stands out as the highest individual score. 

The Fastest Century in the IPL 2024

Aussie Southpaw, Travis Head, who was bought for Rs 6.8 crore by Sunrisers Hyderabad, slammed the fastest century in the IPL 2024 during the game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium. He attained the feat in just 39 balls and went on to score 102 comprising 9 fours and 8 maximums. 

Most Runs in the IPL 2024:

Ace batter Virat Kohli who represented Royal Challengers Bengaluru, scored the most runs in the IPL 2024, amassing 741 runs in 15 matches at an average of 61.75. He smashed 5 half-centuries and a century in the season. He played a decisive role in guiding the RCB to the Eliminator and won the IPL Orange Cap 2024. 

Most Wickets in the IPL 2024:

Harshal Patel, who was dropped out of the India Team, following a string of poor bowling displays, showcased his wicket-taking abilities in the IPL 2024, bagging 24 scalps in 14 matches at an economy of 9.73 with the best figures of 3 for 15. Following his exceptional show with the ball, the 33-year-old deceptive seamer finished as the leading wicket-taker in IPL 2024. 

Top Moments During IPL 2024 

Whether it’s a record-breaking century or a rookie’s stunning debut, the IPL predictions 2024 offer another element of excitement to an already thrilling cricketing event. Below are a few of the top moments that have provided the viewers with an amazing and immersing viewing experience in the league. These include broken IPL records, emerging players arriving on the scene, and boundaries being hit for fun.

Sunrisers Hyderabad breaking the record for the highest total in IPL history

The most captivating moment we have seen in this IPL season is Sunrisers Hyderabad breaking the record for the highest score in IPL history. In the eighth match of IPL 2024 against the Mumbai Indians, the SRH batters went berserk and put a mammoth total of 277 runs on the board, breaking the record held by Royal Challengers Bengaluru of 263 runs.

It was also the highest total scored in the IPL without an individual century, as three SRH batters (Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, and Heinrich Klassen) scored quick-fire fifties. Sharma and Head batted with a strike rate of over 250, and Klassen struck at a rate of 230+, ensuring that the record was no longer held by the RCB franchise. It took 11 long years in the league’s history to break this IPL record.

The “wrong” Shashank Singh winning matches for the Punjab Kings

A new hero has emerged for the Punjab Kings franchise this season – Shashank Singh. Shashank Singh was not on the buying list of the Punjab team’s management during the IPL 2024 auction and was acquired by the franchise due to a misunderstanding, but he has emerged as a rising star for them.

In the game against the Gujarat Titans, Shashank Singh played a blinder and scored 61* runs in just 29 balls, winning the match for the team in a situation where Punjab had almost lost the match. It was an innings of a lifetime for the man who was about to go unsold at the auction.

In the next match as well, against the Sunrisers Hyderabad, he almost won the match for the team by scoring 46* runs in just 25 balls, as PBKS lost that match by a margin of just two runs.

Crowd-booing MI’s new captain, Hardik Pandya

Hardik Pandya’s return to the Mumbai Indians was not the most welcomed by the fans of the Mumbai team as well as the spectators of the Indian Premier League. Even though he returned as the captain of the franchise, he had to face a lot of booing and unwelcoming gestures from the fans.

When the first game was played at the Wankhede Stadium this year between the Mumbai Indians and the Rajasthan Royals, the crowd did not cheer for Hardik Pandya at the toss even after the toss presenter asked the crowd explicitly to applaud for Pandya.

All of this is because the MI fans have an endless love for Rohit Sharma and want to see him as their captain, but we think that as the tournament progresses and MI starts winning matches consecutively, the crowd will eventually be behind their new captain.

Romario Shepherd hitting Anrich Nortje for 32 runs in the last over of the inning

In the 20th match of IPL 2024 at the Wankhede Stadium between the Mumbai Indians and the Delhi Capitals, Romario Shepherd turned on beast mode and took Anrich Nortje to the cleaners in the last over of the first innings. MI’s score was 202 runs after 19 overs when Shepherd hit Nortje for 32 runs in the last over of the inning and took the total to 234.

Romario started the over with a boundary through the off-side, then hit three consecutive sixes, taking the total to 220+. The fifth ball was again hit for a four, whereas the last ball was sent into the stands, finishing the inning on a high.

In the end, Shepherd’s innings of 39* runs in just 10 balls made all the difference, as Delhi lost the match by 29 runs and Shepherd won the Player of the Match award.

The arrival of the new pace sensation in Indian cricket, Mayank Yadav.

Every year in the IPL, we see an emerging player bringing exceptional skills and talent to the table, and this year we have seen a speedster, Mayank Yadav, bowling thunderbolts one after another. He is being named the “new pace sensation in Indian cricket” because the pace at which he has bowled, maintaining his line and length, is quite impressive.

His first signs in the IPL were in the match against the Punjab Kings, where he bowled a sensational spell of 27/3 in four overs and shocked everyone with the pace he bowled at. In the next match against RCB, he impressed once again, bettering his figures from the previous match and taking three wickets for just 14 runs in the match.

Mayank Yadav clocked a speed of 156.7 kmph in the match versus the Bengaluru-based franchise, breaking the IPL record for the fastest ball in the league’s history. He has already caught the eye of the cricket fraternity and might be on the flight to the USA for the T20 World Cup.

The emergence of the Riyan Parag 2.0 version.

After not having a great start to his IPL career in the previous seasons, Riyan Parag has completely turned the tide this time around, making it one of the top moments of the IPL 2024 season. Parag came into this year’s IPL on the back of an exceptional domestic run and has continued his form in the initial matches this year in the IPL.

Parag has scored a total of 261 runs in five innings at an impressive average of 87. He has batted beautifully, showing intent and not shying away from taking bowlers on. The Riyan Parag 2.0 version looks lethal, and if he is given a long rope at the number four position at RR, he can be a match-winner for them.

IPL 2024 Points Table

Kolkata Knight Riders finished the league stage as table toppers followed by Sunrisers Hyderabad in second place. Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru occupied third and fourth place respectively.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Team Analysis for IPL Betting Online

We are eagerly anticipating the commencement of the 17th season of the most magnificent and exciting domestic Twenty20 tournament in the world, which will kick off the Indian Premier tournament, which is generating unprecedented excitement. GUGOBET is prepared to provide IPL team analysis 2024 and IPL online betting tips since the IPL also signals the beginning of the IPL online betting season. 

We will evaluate the rosters of all 10 clubs and identify the advantages and disadvantages in our IPL team analysis 2024. To make IPL online betting easier for you, we will also attempt to identify each team’s greatest player and determine their optimal playing eleven as part of our suggestions for IPL online betting.

The Sunrisers Hyderabad team and its preparations for the 2024 Indian Premier League will be examined in this article. Even with three different captains—David Warner, Kane Williamson, and Aiden Markram—the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will try to win the Indian Premier League (IPL) championship in 2024 after their dismal performance in the previous three seasons.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Players

The Orange Army bid INR 20.50 crore for Australia’s 2023 World Cup-winning captain Pat Cummins during the 2024 Indian Premier League auction in Dubai. After observing Cummins’ outstanding leadership throughout the World Cup, the SRH team’s leadership may decide to give the Australian team captaincy going forward.
In addition to Cummins, Hyderabad has bought five more players, including Australian sensation Travis Head and Sri Lankan versatile Wanindu Hasaranga. Let us take a look at the SRH squad in detail. There is a lot of pressure on the Sunrisers Hyderabad players to perform well to get ready for the Indian Premier League in 2024. You can trust them when it involves IPL online betting on GUGOBET.com, our cricket app, and website, as they are among the top teams in the IPL 2024.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Team

Strengths: 

Pat Cummins’s arrival could revitalise SRH’s fast-bowling team. Only the seasoned Bhuvneshwar Kumar looked good for the club in the previous IPL season. The senior Indian player received no assistance from any speedster who deviated from the group. In 2024, Cummins will not only give Bhuvneshwar excellent support but he and Umran Malik together will make a powerful combination.
For a meager INR 6.80 crore, SRH won the auction with Australia’s Travis Head. Mayank Agarwal may open the innings with the southpaw. Star South African hitters Aiden Markram and Heinrich Klaasen, both renowned for their aggressive batting techniques, are positioned in the middle order.

To take some of the weight off of him, Markram may also be removed from his captaincy in the IPL 2024. He will be able to use his bat to freely assist the squad in the absence of leadership. It is expected of Klaasen to take on the finisher position on the team. Glenn Phillips of New Zealand is another well-known player in their team. The Kiwi player, like Klaasen, is renowned for his fierce batting approach that dominates hitters. When necessary, he can also assist with the ball.

Weaknesses:

Washington Sundar, Umran Malik, Abdul Samad, Mayank Agarwal, and Abhishek Tripathi are well-known domestic players for SRH. In white-ball tournaments like the 2023–24 Vijay Hazare Trophy and the 2023–24 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT), these names performed poorly. The managers of the SRH team may get shivers from their struggles in recent matches.
International players for SRH have a lengthy history of outstanding performance. In the 2023 World Test Championship (WTC) and 2023 World Cup, Cummins led his team from the front, and Head has performed admirably for the Australian team in all formats over the past two years.

Markram and Klaasen have been very attractive for the Proteas team in 2023, while Phillips has also played well for New Zealand. In addition, Marco Jansen attracted a lot of attention with his all-around performance for South Africa during the 2023 World Cup.
All of these well-known international athletes have demonstrated consistency on the world stage, and if they carry on with their strong performance in the lucrative competition, Sunrisers may finally be able to raise the trophy after eight years.

Who is the highest run scorer in Sunrisers Hyderabad history?

David Warner, who won the Orange Cap three times in 2015, 2017, and 2019, is the top scorer in Sunrisers Hyderabad’s history.

Sunrisers Hyderabad owner

The Indian Premier League is home to the Hyderabad, Telangana, India-based Sunrisers Hyderabad, a professional cricket franchise. The team was established in 2012 following the IPL’s dismissal of the Hyderabad-based Deccan Chargers and is owned by Kalanithi Maran of the SUN Group. The CEO and co-owner of SRH, Kavya Maran, made a significant showing at the IPL auctions this year. Online love for Kavya Maran, a co-owner of SunRisers Hyderabad, surged on April 9, 2023.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Captain

Australia’s Pat Cummins will captain Sunrisers Hyderabad, the 2016 IPL champions, in the forthcoming IPL 2024, according to renowned cricket pundit and expert analyst Sunil Gavaskar. Sunil Gavaskar was in favour of Pat Cummins guiding Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 2024 Indian Premier League. At the IPL 2024 mini-auction, SRH shelled out a hefty Rs 20.50 crore to acquire Cummins. For an additional Rs. 6.80 crore, they strengthened their team even more by adding Travis Head to the group. But it’s still unclear who SRH would formally name as their captain to guide them in the 2024 Indian Premier League.

How many times Sunrisers Hyderabad won IPL?

In the 2016 season, the Sunrisers defeated the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the final by a margin of 8 runs to win their first IPL championship. Since 2016, the group has advanced to the tournament’s play-off round in 3-4 seasons. However, they have not won it since then and are still seeking their 2nd IPL trophy. 

Sunrisers Hyderabad squad 2024

At the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, the IPL 2024 Auction came to an end. Six players, notably the World Cup-winning Australian duo of Pat Cummins and Travis Head, were purchased by the 2016 winner at the auction. Before Mitchell Starc’s purchase by the Kolkata Knight Riders for Rs. 24.75 crore, the winning bid for Cummins, valued at Rs. 20.50 crore, was the most expensive in the history of the IPL auction.
SRH added two more players to bolster their bowling unit: Indian pacer Jaydev Undakat (Rs. 1.60 crore) and Sri Lankan leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga (Rs. 1.5 crore). At an auction, Jhathavedh Subramanyan and Akash Singh were their final purchases, each for Rs. 20 lakh.

Sunrisers Hyderabad squad 2024: Upendra Singh Yadav, Heinrich Klaasen, and Glenn Phillips are the wicketkeepers.

The batters are Mayank Agarwal, Anmolpreet Singh, Aiden Markram, Abdul Samad, and Rahul Tripathi. 

The all-around players include Shahbaz Ahmed, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Sanvir Singh, Abhishek Sharma, and Washington Sundar.

Bowlers: T. Natarajan, Mayank Markande, Pat Cummins, Wanindu Hasaranga, Jaydev Unadkat, Akash Singh, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Jhathavedh Subramanyan, Marco Jansen, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are the bowlers.
