KKR were the first team to qualify for the playoffs and they finished the league stage as the table toppers with 20 points. On the contrary, SRH finished second on the table with 17 points.

The winner of this fixture will cement their berth in the final whereas the losing team will have one more chance to resurrect themselves. They will take on the winner of the Eliminator clash in Qualifier 2.

When KKR and SRH locked horns with each other in the reverse fixture, KKR won by 4 runs at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Let's now take a look at the four batters who can score the most runs in the Qualifier 1 of the competition.

1. Sunil Narine: The former West Indies all rounder has been the in-form batter for the Knight Riders in IPL 2024. The Caribbean is the team's leading run-getter this season as he mustered 461 runs in 12 appearances at a impressive strike rate of 209.42. He smashed 1 century and 3 fifties so far and is expected to dominate the proceedings against SRH.

2. Andre Russell: The Caribbean hasn't quite been able to unleash his fury with the bat in the ongoing season. However, we expect him to deliver the punches in the crucial encounter because he has got all the experience to do it.

Notably, he played a gem of an innings in the reverse fixture against SRH wherein he scored an unbeaten 64 off 25 balls (3 fours and 7 sixes) at a strike rate of 256.

3. Abhishek Sharma: SRH youngster Sharma has been in impressive form this season, mustering 467 runs in 13 games at a staggering strike rate of 209.42 including 3 fifties. He scored 32 off 19 balls including 4 fours and 2 sixes in the reverse fixture at a strike rate of 168.42.

4. Heinrich Klaasen: The South African international kick-started the IPL season with a bang before his form took a big hit. However, we expect him to rise to the occasion and deliver an impactful performance. Notably, he scored a quickfire 63 off 29 deliveries, laced with 8 sixes at a strike rate of 217.24.
