IPL 2024: Top 3 Records That Could Be Broken in Today’s KKR vs SRH Match
Jaydev Unadkat just a wicket away to reach 100 IPL wickets milestone
The league stage of IPL 2024 has finally come to an end, and we have our four teams that will compete for the prestigious IPL trophy. Qualifier 1 will be played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The match is scheduled on 21st May from 7:30 pm.
Both teams have a second chance even if they lose, where they will play against the winner of the eliminator game at Chennai. Qualifier 2 will be played against the loser of this game and the winner of the Eliminator. The winner of Qualifier 1 will be the first finalist of this season.
Both Kolkata and Sunrisers Hyderabad have played enterprising and attacking cricket, winning games in the power play itself. Kolkata has not played a game since 11th May, while SRH is charged up with a win in their last game.
Kolkata Knight Riders are the most dominant team of the season. All their departments are well-covered, and all they need to do is soak up the big match pressure.
Sunrisers Hyderabad, on the other hand, has been a batting-heavy side where their batsmen ensure their win by playing with a stuck aggressive template.
Here are some records that could be broken in the match:
1. Unadkat to Target 100 IPL Wickets
Jaydev Unadkat has specialized in death overs bowling slower ones and cutters and has been a key in SRH wins. Jaydev Unadkat (99) needs one wicket to reach 100 wickets in IPL.
2. Starc Eyes 50 IPL Wickets
Mitchell Starc has finally delivered, justifying his auction price, and KKR would hope he continues his form in the playoffs. He is 4 wickets shy of reaching 50 wickets in IPL.
3. Gurbaz Nearing 4000 T20 Runs
Rahmanullah Gurbaz is expected to play in Phil Salt’s absence. He is a likely replacement with ample T20 experience. He needs 15 runs more to reach 4000 runs in T20 cricket.
Both teams have a decent chance of reaching the finals and winning the trophy, but on this important day, what matters is who stands up for his team and plays a clutch performance when the team needs them the most. It can be a six-hitting fest.
