IPL 2024: SRH win toss, opt to bowl first against KKR

Winning the toss, Pat Cummins said, "We are going to have a bowl, the wicket looks pretty good."

"This is my first game for Sunrisers Hyderabad, it's been awesome in the camp to lead-up and the confidence is really high in the team," Cummins added.

KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer said, "I have been training well and played a few games as well. The spinners have been bowling tremendously over the past few seasons and all of them are lethal in their own way."

"I see a bit of dryness on this wicket and hopefully it will help them," he said.

Kolkata is hosting IPL 2024's third and these two team's first match in the session.

Kolkata Knight Riders XI: Shreyas Iyer (c), Phil Salt (wk), Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana, Andre Russell, Rinku Singh, Sunil Narine, Ramandeep Singh, Mitchel Starc, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakaravarthy.

Sunrisers Hyderabad XI: Pat Cummins (c), Mayank Agarwal, Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahmed, Marco Jansen, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mayank Markande, T. Natarajan.
