KKR vs SRH Dream11 Prediction: In second game of the double-header, Kolkata Knight Riders will play host to Sunrisers Hyderabad at Eden Garden on Saturday, March 23.

With fresh talent injected into the squad during the IPL mini auction in December 2023, there’s hope that both teams will at least be better than last season.

TOP Picks For KKR vs SRH Dream 11 Match
Captain Options:
- Shreyas Iyer: KKR captain was one of the standout performers for Team Indian in the ODI World Cup. He has all the shots in his batting repertoire and could be highest scorer here.
- Travis Head: The Australian was India’s enemy-no-1 when he scored that infamous century in the ODI World Cup final. He is a premium pick for the caption option.
- Andre Russell: We all Russell needs only 15-20 balls to impact the match with the ball, while his bowling is also another factor why he might be a game changer.
- Rahmanullah Gurbaz: One of the few positives for KKR from last season. Gurbaz has made quite a name for himself.
Vice-Captain Options:
- Sunil Narine: He might be at the wrong side of age, but the West Indian’s skill set make him a dangerous player.

- Rinku Singh: We all know what he did last season. Rinku is someone who can bring chaos to the opponents.
