Currently, the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are locking horns with Kolkata Knight Riders at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. After winning the toss, the SRH skipper, Kane Williamson decided to bowl. However, initially, the decision backfired as both the KKR openers, Chris Lynn and Sunil Narine added 42 runs in just 16 balls.
During the toss, the KKR skipper, Dinesh Karthik revealed that they have made a couple of changes to their squad as KC Cariappa and Prithvi Raj came in for Kuldeep Yadav and Prasidh Krishna. On the other hand, SRH made no changes to their squad.

Lynn and Narine added as many as 28 runs in the first two overs of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Shahbaz Nadeem. Even, Narine started the third over bowled by Khaleel Ahmed with a huge six followed by a couple of boundaries before getting out on the 4th ball of the over.
The Windies all-rounder greeted Khaleel with a six over the point boundary followed by a boundary over midwicket as Khaleel attempted a shorter delivery. But the ball didn’t rise to he expected and the batsman pulled the ball outside off and smacked it towards the boundary. Again, Narine smashed a boundary towards the cover boundary on a full toss.

On the fourth ball of the over, Ahmed sent Narine’s leg-stump for a walk as he delivered a slower delivery and Narine was anticipating a quick and short one perhaps as he cleared his front leg to go over cow corner, but he played too early into the shot and connects with air. The ball connects with the stump.
