IPL 2025: Top 3 player battles to watch out for in KKR vs SRH clash

The Kolkata Knight Riders are all set to lock horns against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 15th game of the Indian Premier League 2025, slated to take place on April 3rd at iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The two teams are currently at the bottom half of the points table and will be looking to ascend in their rankings.

Both sides have played three matches so far, winning just one and losing two. They will be eager to mark their second win of the tournament. However, fans are not excited to watch this game, but they are keen to see player battles in this contest. Given below are the top three-player battles to watch out for in this game.

1. Chakravarthy vs. Klaasen

Varun Chakaravarthy has been KKR’s prime bowler and has always been well-known for scalping wickets in the middle order of the game. The Indian bowler has been a sensational player for three-time IPL champions, but he might face a daunting task against SRH batter Klaasen. The South African batter is always known for making big partnerships in the middle overs and for power-hitting abilities. This is one of the best battles to watch out for in this clash.

2. Narine vs. Head

Sunil Narine has been the star spinner of the KKR side. The star bowler is well known for troubling the bowlers from the first ball of the game. The West Indies cricketer’s spin sets up trouble for the batters. On the other hand, Head is a very aggressive batter who possesses the ability to do most of the damage against bowlers in the powerplays. The left-handed batter’s aggressive and fearless approach to batting makes him an exceptional batter. However, Narine can be a game-changer if he manages to thwart the Aussie batter in this game.

3. Iyer vs Cummins

Venkatesh Iyer has been known for his power-hitting abilities. He has single-handedly guided KKR to win the title back in 2024. The Indore-born star is one of the aggressive batters from the KKR camp, and his classic ability to hit the shots under tense situations makes him a player to watch out for. On the other hand, Cummins has been an exceptional bowler from the SRH camp. If Cummins manages to take the wicket of Iyer, this side can be in a good position, or else the stylish right-handed batter can be a match-winner for KKR in this game.
