Rahmanullah Gurbaz The match of the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League at Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium will not be for Kolkata Knight Riders in his struggle against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
KKR and SRH have already been removed from the competition, making it a dead rubber. However, it would be appropriate to think that both will expect to end their campaign on a sweet note.

Quinton de Coke replaced Gurbaz at the top of the order. KKR's struggle against CSK was the fifth and final game of Afghan of the season. The 23 -year -old IPL has been weak in 2025. He was able to score only 74 runs in five innings. The South African bench will create its first appearance for KKR after more than a month. Cummins -led SRH proceeded with the same XI that defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by 42 runs.
What did the captains say?
Pat Cummins (Sunrisers Hyderabad)
Will bat first, looks like a good wicket. We have just clicked, the bowlers have intensified and the batsmen have played for capacity. Always expect to find speed quickly, the good thing is that we know that we can carry this squad forward. We have played the last 3-4 games, we will try to find that continuity. The same team as the last game.
Ajinkya Rahane (Kolkata Knight Riders)
Wanted to bowl in any way. The teams chasing in the last two matches won the site, and they followed things very easily. Playing after 18 days seems like a challenge, but is just trying to focus on the practice session. We know that everyone is going home after this game, so we are just trying to play to win and entertain. We had our moments in this season, all this is about accepting mistakes and learning from good things. It is about playing for fans, playing for pride. Agarkish has been fantastic, he is an early batsman, but has adapted to play at 4 or 5. I hope he manufactures it and also represents India. He is working hard and he can do a bright future ahead of him. No change, we are playing after 18 days, so it is not really sure about the team.
