SRH bat first after KKR opt to bowl<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sunrisers Hyderabad will bat first against Kolkata Knight Riders after losing the toss at Eden Gardens. The spotlight is on Shivang Kumar, the uncapped left-arm wrist-spinner who could feature in the game.<\/p>\n

SRH\u2019s top order has the ability to post a strong total on a flat surface, but their main concern remains with the ball. After failing to defend in the previous match, the team will look for a better overall performance.<\/p>\n

All eyes on Shivang\u2019s potential debut<\/strong><\/p>\n

At 23, Shivang comes in with limited domestic experience but notable returns. He has played four T20s and three List A matches, with best figures of 5 for 45 against Karnataka and 3 for 25 against Bihar.<\/p>\n

He also adds depth with the bat, having scored 67 against Jharkhand earlier this season. Signed for \u20b930 lakh, he offers a different option in the spin department.<\/p>\n

If he gets a chance, the focus will be on how he approaches his role, especially in defending a total against a strong KKR batting unit.<\/p>\n
