Pitch Report
Analysis
The Kolkata Knight Riders had some promising performances over the IPL 2023 season and will hope to make a playoff push with the return of full-time captain Shreyas Iyer. Further the squad was reinforced by world-class players like Mitchell Starc and Phil Salt. The additions with their roaring Indian core will make KKR a dominant team in 2024 season.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad had a stunning team in IPL 2023 but completely misfired and only managed a last-place finish. Then before the 2024 season, Hyderabad made a few drastic changes and brought some of the top international players in the world. With new additions in Travis Head, Pat Cummins and Waindu Hasranga, SRH will push for a deep run in the tournament.
