IPL 2017 The Eliminator, KKR vs SRH: 5 players to watch out for

Against the robust Sunrisers Hyderabad bowling, the swashbuckling batsman must carry forward his form

#2 Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Immaculate line and length has been the strength of the right arm pacer

Bhuvneshwar Kumar- the Purple Cap holder has been in sublime touch and has been a pivotal factor in Sunrisers Hyderabad’s success in the IPL. From bowling in the powerplays to shouldering the mantle in the death overs, the Karnataka bowler has been Sunrisers go-to man.

A bowler who will hardly be in the face of batsmen, but will steadfastly pick up wickets to put the skids on the batting team. Though he doesn’t possess express pace, immaculate line and length has been the strength of the right arm pacer.

The Knight Riders batting is expected to come all guns blazing and Kumar’s tight channel will again need to come to the fore for Sunrisers to restrict the Knights from posting a big enough total for their liking.
