The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will square off against the SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Qualifier 1 match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad will host the contest on Tuesday, May 21.

After a stellar league stage, the Kolkata Knight Riders finished atop the points table with nine wins and three losses. Unfortunately, their last match against the Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati was abandoned due to heavy rain.

Meanwhile, the SunRisers Hyderabad secured their eighth victory over the Punjab Kings in the final league stage match to finish second on the points table. Despite losing to KKR in their season's opening game, SRH is eager to deliver a stronger performance and aim for a spot in the finals.

On that note, here are the three players you could pick as the captain/vice-captain for the KKR vs SRH Dream11 match.


#3 Andre Russell (KKR) - 9.0 credits

Andre Russell is the third-highest wicket-taker for KKR. He has claimed 15 wickets so far at an average of 17.40. He has scored 22 runs in nine innings, averaging 31.71.

Russell has scored 43 runs and also chipped in three wickets in the last three games. He scored his season-best 64-run unbeaten knock and picked up two wickets as well against SRH this season and will be eager to replicate a similar performance in the upcoming game.

Travis Head was dismissed for a duck by Arshdeep Singh in the last game against the Punjab Kings. However, he has been outstanding in the previous matches, scoring 533 runs in 12 matches at an average of 48.45 with one hundred and four half-centuries.

Head was benched in the previous reverse match at Kolkata this season. Thus, he will be keen to put up a strong show and play a vital role in your KKR vs SRH Dream11 teams.


#1 Sunil Narine (KKR) - 9.0 credits

Sunil Narine has been the standout all-rounder in the IPL 2024. He has accumulated 461 runs at an average of 38.41, including three half-centuries. He has also been consistent with the ball, claiming at least one wicket in every game, amassing a total of 15 wickets in 12 matches.

Despite being run out in KKR's first game of the season against SRH, Narine's current form makes him a prime candidate for the captain or vice-captain role in your Dream11 team for the upcoming KKR vs SRH match.
