KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1: Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad, full of explosive batsmen, will face each other in ‘Qualifier-1’ of Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket today, Tuesday. The winner of this match to be held at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad will get direct entry into the final round. In such a situation, both the teams will aim for a strong performance.

However, before this match, KKR’s team has suffered a major setback in the form of Phil Salt. He has returned to England for the upcoming T20 series against Pakistan. In such a situation, proven cricketer Aakash Chopra, while talking on his YouTube channel, has expressed concern about KKR’s problems. Let’s know the 3 players whose names have been taken by Aakash Chopra and why KKR may find it difficult to win the match because of them.

1. Phil Salt

Aakash Chopra said- “Definitely this could be a big problem for KKR. This season, Phil Salt had a huge contribution in the success of this team. The starts he used to make with Sunil Narine would suddenly put the opposition team on the back foot and they would find it very difficult to make a comeback. However, Phil Salt is no longer in the team, that is a big problem.”

2. Rahmanullah Gurbaz

While talking about the replacement of Phil Salt, Aakash Chopra said- “Rehmanullah Gurbaz is in place of Salt. What works in Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s favor is that he was once a part of Gujarat Titans. So he has played on this ground and on these pitches before, although he has not done so. When he was with Gujarat he got a lot of opportunities.” Aakash Chopra believes that Gurbaz can play big innings for the team.

3. Shreyas Iyer

Aakash Chopra has described Shreyas Iyer as the second problem of the team. They said- “The other problem is that Shreyas Iyer has not scored that many runs this year. He has played a bit of an anchor-type role while all the players around him come in like rocket launchers. He even said that this time he has the role of an anchor. So he has been anchoring but the season has not been what you expect.”

Finn praised him a lot and even said that he is the best player in the world. Speaking with former England captain Alastair Cook on TNT Sports, Steven Finn said, “Jaiswal scored a brilliant 161, but he is the player I like to watch. That is Jasprit Bumrah. I think he really is the best player in the world. Honestly, sometimes I think bowling like him is a joke! You see him bowling and you just think, I’m glad I don’t have to come out to bat.” He further said, “I was surprised that India went there (Australia) and defeated Australia, where usually it is very difficult to go and play cricket. Perth, I know it’s not the WACA; I know it’s a new stadium, but still, historically, Australia hasn’t lost many matches there. I thought India performed very bravely there.” Let us tell you that, Bumrah now has 118 wickets in 27 Test matches in SENA countries at an impressive average of 22.55, which also includes his career best performance (6/33).
