The Kolkata Knight Riders are all set to take on the SunRisers Hyderabad in match three of the Indian Premier League 2024. KKR marks the return of former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir. However, Gambhir will not be a captain; he has joined the team management team as a mentor. The former Indian opener helped KKR win two IPL titles under his captaincy and would look to repeat the same as a mentor this year. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad have a new captain named ace pacer Pat Cummins, who was one of the best last year as the skipper of Australia. Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2024: Team Profile, Squad, Schedule of KKR in Indian Premier League T20 Season 17

The Kolkata Knight Riders will be led by Shreyas Iyer, who missed the tournament's previous edition due to a back injury. The side consists of powerful names such as Venkatesh Iyer, Andre Russell and Mitchell Starc, who can change the course of the match on their own. The two-time Indian Premier League champions also have plenty of young blood in the name of Rinku Singh and Suyash Sharma. These two players were the highlight of KKR in the previous edition of the tournament and will look forward to repeating the same this year.

SunRisers Hyderabad is an all-young team which will be led by the world-champion Australian captain. With the likes of Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, Travis Head and Mayank Agarwal, the team's batting has a lot of firepower. On the other hand, Bhuvneshwar Kumar's experience will be key to the team's bowling lineup. However, there is not much experience in the bowling attack but stars such as Umran Malik. Marco Jansen, Washington Sundar, and T Natarajan all have the potential to perform well for the side. SunRisers Hyderabad Anthem for Indian Premier League 2024 Released (Watch Video)
