SRH vs KOL injury update and key players

SRH injury update Sunrisers are yet to name a replacement for Washington Sundar, who was earlier ruled out of the IPL for the remainder of the season with an injury.

SRH key players Abhishek Sharma played a flawless knock of 67 on a tricky surface in the last game against Delhi while Heinrich Klaasen has been in good form as well off late. Aiden Markram has been in good form but has failed to click in the last few innings. Abdul Samad returned to playing 11 after injury to

Among bowlers, Mayank Markande is the most in-form bowler but has struggled to pick wickets at Hyderabad's home ground in the last two games. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Natarajan are picking wickets but not in a bunch while Akeal Hosein couldn't impress much either in the last game. Marco Jansen may return to the line-up as he troubled KKR batters in the last game.

Out of form Harry Brooks's bat went silent since he scored a century against KKR at the Eden Gardens. Rahul Tripathi's lean batting patch continues too as he hasn't scored much runs in the last five games. Umran Malik has proved costly off late as his lack of variation has often made him an easy target.

KOL injury update Jason Roy missed the last game with an injury and there's no update on his availability for the game. The Englishman scored two half-centuries before his injury. Litton Das is unavailable too as he went back home for personal reasons while Umesh Yadav missed the last game with a knock as well.

KOL key players Afghan opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz earned the trust of his captain with a solo knock of 81 in the last game against SRH. Apart from him, Nitish Rana, Rinku Singh, and Venkatesh Iyer have played good innings but the latter struggle to maintain consistency.

Andre Russell has been playing good knocks down the order off late and was entrusted with new ball duty in the last game. Spinner Varun Chakravarthy went wicket-less in the last game but has been the most successfull KKR bowler with 13 scalps thi season. Fellow spinner Suyash Sharma didn't succeed in the last game either but has been in a good wicket-taking form.

Out of form: Sunil Narine's form remains questionable as he took his first wicket in five games in the last outing. KKR pacers Umesh Yadav, Shardul Thakur, Lockie Ferguson among others have flopped this season. This opened up opportunity for young Delhi pacer Harshit Rana, who bowled a decent 1/25.
