Hogg: No. 3 the perfect slot for Uthappa
Kolkata Knight Riders elected to chase despite a slightly dry surface in Hyderabad. There had been some drizzle in the lead-up to the toss, which might have played a part in their decision. When asked if his side had made any changes, the captain of the table leaders Gautam Gambhir said there was no need to fix what wasn’t broken.
Sunrisers Hyderabad, though, made two changes: bringing in Bipul Sharma’s bowling to replace Deepak Hooda and playing Mohammed Siraj ahead of Ashish Nehra.
Sunrisers Hyderabad 1 David Warner (capt.), 2 Shikhar Dhawan, 3 Kane Williamson, 4 Yuvraj Singh, 5 Moises Henriques, 6 Naman Ojha (wk), 7 Bipul Sharma, 8 Rashid Khan, 9 Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 10 Mohammed Siraj, 11 Siddarth Kaul
Kolkata Knight Riders 1 Gautam Gambhir (capt.), 2 Sunil Narine, 3 Robin Uthappa (wk), 4 Manish Pandey, 5 Yusuf Pathan, 6 Suryakumar Yadav, 7 Colin de Grandhomme, 8 Chris Woakes, 9 Nathan Coulter-Nile, 10 Kuldeep Yadav, 11 Umesh Yadav
