Kolkata Knight Riders have made a superb start in the Qualifier 1 match of IPL 2024 against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

SRH captain Pat Cummins won the Toss and chose to Bat first, but their openers have been sent back early in the innings.

Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, who have been on top with their destructive hitting, lost their wickets cheaply.

Head was castled only in the second ball by Mitchell Starc. The Australian departed without troubling the scorers, now registering consecutive ducks in the IPL. Abhishek Sharma also followed suit soon. The southpaw, who has been scoring runs at a ridiculous pace, was then taken by Vaibhav Arora.

Fans went berserk on social media as KKR got the early breakthroughs. The SRH openers have been ominous against the teams as their batting has gunned down the opponents this season. Hence, the two early wickets is crucial for KKR if they are to restrict SRH for a modest score in this crucial match.
