Shahbaz Ahmed came in for Abdul Samad in Hyderabad playing 11. Shreyas Iyer on the other hand said that he was happy to have lost the toss as he wanted to bowl first. There was no change in the Kolkata playing 11.
While the Knight Riders were one of the most consistent sides in the entire league, winning nine games and losing just two, this year the Sunrisers have been one of the most entertaining and hard-hitting sides that the competition has ever seen in its history.
Thus, the Aussie would be looking to make it 3-0 in a row when it comes to big finals and be third-time lucky when it comes to beating the Knight Riders.
As for the playing 11s, no change is expected in the Sunrisers unit as they have already played on the Chennai wicket and are quite aware of it. As for Kolkata, we might seen either Suyash Sharma or Anukul Roy get a game alongside Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy.
