The IPL 2024 finalists, Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad, will face each other at Eden Gardens on Thursday. But they are nowhere near their best in the current IPL 2025. KKR is bottom with one win in three games to their name, and SRH is one spot ahead of them. Both teams, who played high-scoring games last year, may have to fight it out on a difficult surface this time. KKR has been at the center of a pitch row at Eden Gardens. The franchise was not satisfied with the playing surface, and after negotiations, they were given the option to select from two pitches – a dry one and an even drier one. They opted for the driest pitch, hoping to make spin work for them. Though IPL regulations do not allow franchises to manipulate pitch conditions, others such as Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants have also expressed similar sentiments. KKR mentor Dwayne Bravo has asked his team to perform on any surface, also sending a message to the opposition and his own team. On the other hand, SRH has banked on flat pitches to have success. Their batting order is good against spin, which may prove to be a test for KKR's approach. While SRH lacks a world-class spin attack, their batting strength may still cause problems for the hosts. In the previous season at Eden Gardens, both teams had more than 200 runs in a match. This time, it may not happen again, but the match is going to be an intriguing contest in a tournament where big-hitting games have been the norm. This battle promises a thrilling and exciting encounter as both Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad are aiming to bounce back in this season. This match also brings opportunities for various players to achieve the milestone, making this game an even more exciting contest to watch.
