Teams Preview
Sunrisers Hyderabad
For Sunrisers, the important thing will be to assess the pitch conditions at Chennai and select their best combination for the opening clash.
Hyderabad signed all-rounder Kedhar Jadhav and Afghanistan’s Mujeeb Ur Rahman to strengthen their squad for the coming edition of the league.
In the batting department, the side will be relying on the opening pair of David Warner and Jonny Bairstow to get them off to a flying start. Kane Williamson is another bankable performer for Hyderabad for this season.
Last year, Captain David Warner finished the competition as leading run-scorer for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Pugnacious opener accumulated 548 runs in 16 innings at an average of 39.14 with four half-centuries to his name.
Besides Warner, Bairstow showed excellent form for England in the ODI and T20I series played against England. He certainly enjoys batting in these conditions and will be looking to make an impact in this opening encounter.
Manish Pandey, Mohammad Nabi, Kedhar Jadhav will make up the middle-order for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Wriddhiman Saha will be designated wicket-keeper for this opening contest.
In the bowling department, the side will be relying on the likes of Sandeep Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Natarajan to pick up wickets with the new-ball. Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi will be two spinners for this game.

Besides Gill, the likes of Eoin Morgan, Sunil Narine and Andre Russell have delivered match-winning performances for Kolkata in the past.
