IPL 2018, SRH vs KKR: Kane Williamson wins the toss and elects to field; here are the final playing eleven

Interestingly, with five quality bowling options, SRH did not even feel the absence of their ace bowler Bhuvaneshwar Kumar in the last match and steered to victory. 

SRH have both of their first two matches and are leading the points table above CSK. Kane Williamson has been leading his team well. The former orange cap holder  Shikhar Dhawan happens to be a part of the Hyderabad squad who will like to get his cap in this match.

KKR, among two of their matches played, have won and lost one match each. After winning their first match against RCB, KKR lost their second match to the mighty CSK even after posting the first 200 plus total on the board. Sam billings charged over the KKR bowling attack and steered CSK to victory.

The match will be a deciding factor as now the qualifiers are taking shape and the teams actually better than others are slowly coming and those lacking are being left behind.

Sunrisers Hyderabad will come in the ground with an aim to continue riding their victory chariot. 

Here are the final playing eleven:

KKR XI: C Lynn, S Narine, R Uthappa, N Rana, D Karthik, S Gill, A Russell, M Johnson, S Mavi, P Chawla, K Yadav.

SRH XI: W Saha, S Dhawan, K Williamson, M Pandey, S Al Hasan, D Hooda, Y Pathan, B Kumar, R Khan, S Kaul, B Stanlake.
