It’s only on weekends and holidays that we’ll have double header action in the Indian Premier League which means we have another single match day in IPL 2021. We’re talking here about Match 3 of IPL 2021 where Sunrisers Hyderabad is set to make their first appearance of the season after having not made too many changes to the composition of their squad ahead of the season. They finished on the IPL 2020 points table last year!
Now, they’ll have a tough opening game as they take on Kolkata Knight Riders. The latter is always a threat when you look at them on paper but somehow, they aren’t able to crack the best batting order and team combinations, leading to them not being able to lift the trophy in 7 seasons now. Keep reading for our complete BatBall11 (Code “READ123“) fantasy preview of the SRH vs KOL game…

Stats that matter
- Head to head in last 5 games, Kolkata leads 3-2.

- T Natarajan – 7 wickets in only 4 T20Is so far.
Sunrisers Hyderabad
One thing for sure is that we’re going to have Jonny Bairstow opening the innings for SRH and he’s always brought out his best in this tournament, with 3 fifties in IPL 2020 as well. We’re picking him in our SRH vs KOL fantasy team because he got 124 and 94 in 3 ODIs against India as well. Another overseas player who bagged 14 scalps in 7 games last year is Jason Holder and he should start today, handy with the bat too.
With the ball, T Natarajan had a breakthrough season last year which saw him being promoted to the national side and his wicket-taking continued at the highest stage as well, so you don’t want to leave him out either. Someone like Jason Roy has been in brilliant form but we think the overseas quartet will be Bairstow, Warner, Holder and Rashid which means Roy will miss out and so will Kane Williamson.
Kolkata Knight Riders
Last year, Aussie pacer Pat Cummins didn’t have the best of times in UAE as he struggles to pick wickets for many games before breaking free and ending with 12 in 14 games. Now however, he’s coming off a good domestic season and s a must have in your SRH vs KOL Dream11 team. With bat, their best last season was opener Shubman Gill and he’ll keep scoring in IPL 2021 too, now with international experience under his belt.

Usually an opener and that position is what brought him to fame but Rahul Tripathi wasn’t used well last season because of which he had poor returns. We’d like to see him back at the top of the order with Gill and we can expect a lot of runs especially in powerplay overs. Most people say Harbhajan Singh is too old to be playing but he may be selected as KKR’s frontline spinner with 16 scalps in 11 games when he last played in IPL 2019.
