Kolkata Knight Riders will face Sunrisers Hyderabad (KKR vs SRH) after suffering a crushing defeat to Mumbai Indians. There will be a clash between the two teams at the Eden Gardens on Thursday. Kolkata will be in search of victory after seeing the face of defeat in his home match. It is expected that captain Ajinkya Rahane can change his playing XI for this clash. So let's know what can be the possible playing XI of Kolkata Knight Riders for this match (KKR vs SRH)?

These players can open

Kolkata Knight Riders' opener Quinton de Kock was badly flopped in the match played with Mumbai Indians. In three matches, he was able to score only one run. He will be expected to be stormy and excellent innings against Sunrisers Hyderabad. In the match against Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati, he played a key role in winning the half -century innings team. To support him, Dhakad batsman Sunil Naren is scheduled to land on the field. After a poor performance of the previous match, he would like to make a brilliant comeback in KKR Vs SRH.

These batsmen can be selected

Captain Ajinkya Rahane may come against Sunrisers Hyderabad to bat at number three from Kolkata (KKR vs SRH). In the last match, his bat scored only 11 runs in 7 balls. Team management Angkrish Raghuvanshi can be sent to bat at number four. He has not been able to perform anything special with the bat. In three innings of three matches, he has scored 78 runs at an average of 39. Venkatesh Iyer can land to bat at number five. Rinku Singh and Manish Pandey will be seen in the role of Finisher.

There will be a change in bowling department!

In the end, the bowling department of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR vs SRH) can see a change in it. Enrich Nortje is likely to be included in the playing XI in place of Spenser Johnson. He has not yet got a chance to play a single match of IPL 2025. But Spensor Johnson's flop performance can be made part of the team. Apart from him, Ramandeep Singh, Harshit Rana and Varun Chakraborty will be given place in bowling.

Kolkata's possible playing XI: Quinton de Kock (wicketkeeper), Sunil Narayan, Ajinkya Rahane (captain), Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, Enrich Nortje, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakraborty
