Powerhouse batters from Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and the streaky Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will clash in the IPL 2024 Qualifier 1 on May 21, both relying on big hitting to reach the IPL 2024 final. KKR secured the first playoff spot this season, while SRH clinched a crucial win against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in their last league match to grab second place. Shreyas Iyer-led KKR rode a four-game winning streak before rain disrupted their momentum and forced the departure of key wicketkeeper-batsman Phil Salt (435 runs) to England duty. The table-topping Knights (19 points) face a double blow: missing Salt's firepower and needing to adjust without their reliable batsman.
This Qualifier 1 clash promises fireworks. SRH boasts similar batting prowess on paper. Both Travis Head (533 runs, 1 century, 4 fifties) and Abhishek Sharma (467 runs) have smashed records with their aggressive batting.
Head's fearless approach has unlocked the potential of the young Indian Sharma, who has smashed a whopping 41 sixes this season – exceeding his total from the previous six seasons combined (31 sixes).
