Team Preview – Sunrisers Hyderabad
Sunrisers Hyderabad are one of the most consistent sides in the Indian Premier League. They are not rated as highly as the other heavyweights like Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings but they are the only team to have qualified for the playoffs in the last five editions of the IPL which included a title victory in the year 2016.
They have a good mix-up of young and experienced players which is the reason for their good performances. In spite of skipper Warner’s unavailability in 2018, they managed to make it to the final which highlights how settled they are as a team. The only concern they had over the past few seasons was a weak lower order. They were highly dependent on their top 4 to perform. The addition of Kedar Jadhav and the likes of Jason Holder and Abdul Samad may fill that void.
Team Preview – Kolkata Knight Riders
Two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders had a disappointing season last time around. They were considered to be the top contender to lift the IPL trophy instead they couldn’t even manage to qualify for the playoffs. On paper, they looked like a solid squad and had all the bases covered, but lack of consistency and planning in the management were the reasons for their failure.
Kolkata’s primary objective would be to settle its batting order and define a style of play. With Eoin Morgan as the leader of the herd, it is expected that Kolkata will try to apply England’s style of attacking cricket. They do have a lot of backup options this season if any of their go-through players underperform.
