IPL 2024: Abhishek Sharma Vs Andre Russell And More Key Battles To Watch Out For From KKR vs SRH - In Pics

Qualifier 1 will have KKR taking on the SRH, the winner of the contest will book their seats in the final of the IPL 2024.

In IPL face-offs, Sunil Narine has only managed to hit one six against Bhuvneshwar Kumar out of 25 balls. The West Indian all-rounder has a strike rate of 112 against the experienced swing bowler but has been dismissed twice. With 14 dot balls out of the 25 deliveries, Bhuvneshwar's dominance over Narine is evident. This could be a decisive factor if Bhuvi continues his impressive performance against Narine.

This matchup promises to be intriguing, especially since Rinku loves to attack left-arm seamers. He has been particularly aggressive against Natarajan, though he has been dismissed three times in the process. As the death overs approach, it will be fascinating to see how this contest unfolds.

Abhishek Sharma has been dominating most bowlers in IPL 2024. His aggressive play continued when SRH faced KKR at Eden Gardens earlier this season, until Andre Russell dismissed him. This marked Russell's second dismissal of Abhishek, who has yet to assert himself against the powerful Jamaican.
