Pat Cummins Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will face Shreyas Iyer’s Kolkata’s Knight Riders (KKR) in the final of IPL 2024. A certified blockbuster guaranteed at Chennai’s M.A. Chidambaram stadium. Both teams have played aggressive cricket and scored big totals in the season. But the final is in Chennai so a low-scoring thriller will make us entertain a dry pitch, slow wicket means spinners will be beneficial.
Wasim Jaffer lauds Sunrisers Hyderabad
Former Indian batter Wasim Jaffer praises Sunrisers Hyderabad for their outstanding campaign in IPL 2024. Sunrisers Hyderabad have raised the bars with their explosive batting and aggressive approach. Wasim Jaffer also adds that Sunrisers Hyderabad might make some changes in their side ahead of the final clash. Wasim Jaffer said:
“Sunriser’s strength is that they have not played matches in one template. They keep making changes. In powerplays, they used spin in the last game. So, don’t be surprised if they play with Vijayakanth Viyaskanth or Washington Sundar,”
“They have three left-handers, even Mayank Markande, so they will have to slightly change their strategy. Because they are left-handers, the left-arm spin might not work or Nitish Reddy might bowl 2-3 overs. Pat Cummins has the versatility to make changes,”
Wasim Jaffer feels Rahul Tripathi and Nitish Reddy should perform well
Wasim Jaffer also mentioned that Sunrisers Hyderabad rely more on their top order but Rahul Tripathi has shown his class in the last 2 innings which has played a huge impact youngster Nitish Reddy who also had a great season feels that they should also perform well and contribute well enough to highlight at the final stage.
“Klaasen’s wicket is very important in the middle overs. Sunrisers’ batting depends a lot on these three, including Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head. They also have good players like Nitish Reddy and Rahul Tripathi who have performed well. But they rely heavily on those three.”
