IPL 2023: 3 Players Who Will Be Crucial for Sunrisers Hyderabad to Win SRH vs LSG Match No. 58

IPL 2023: We are heading towards yet another double header on the IPL weekend. The first game will see two teams fighting for a spot in the playoffs. It will be a clash between Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Lucknow Super Giants. This is an afternoon game that will take place at 3:30 p.m. at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad. The home team has suffered so far in this competition.

SRH is currently holding ninth place on the table, and every game for them is a must-win now. But the way they chased down the mighty target of 215 in the last game against the Rajasthan Royals will fill every team member with confidence. Thus, they will head into the upcoming game against LSG with a better attitude. In this article, we will discuss three important Hyderabad players in SRH vs LSG Match No. 58.

IPL 2023: 3 Key Players for Sunrisers Hyderabad to Win SRH vs LSG Match No. 58

3. Abhishek Sharma

The young left-hander has made the opening spot his own with the way he batted last season. Abhishek Sharma is in fine form for the 2016 IPL champions and has played some match-winning innings so far. His half-century in the last game against the Rajasthan Royals set the platform for the team’s big chase. He scored a 34-ball 55 to get off to a good start.

He has looked good and scored 203 runs in 8 innings at 25.38 and a decent strike rate of 152.63, with two half-centuries. Abhishek has also bowled a few tight overs in the middle, which is a bonus for SRH. However, the team will want him to provide another good start on Saturday in the must-win game against Lucknow. He is a free-flowing batter who can take the bowlers on the power play.

2. Heinrich Klaasen

The South African wicketkeeper Heinrich Klaasen has certainly played some impactful innings in the SRH middle order. He is the in-form player who is playing cameos regularly. His 12-ball 26 helped SRH keep the scoring rate going in the 215-run chase against RR. He didn’t play in the last game against LSG this season but will look to deliver a match-winning performance on Saturday.

Klaasen has scored 215 runs in just seven innings at a brilliant average of 43 and an excellent strike rate of 185.34. He will be the man to lead SRH in the middle overs because his power-hitting keeps the scoring rate up during the middle phase. SRH will hope he continues what he has done so far. On the other hand, Lucknow needs to find a way to dismiss him because he is a difficult batter to bowl against.

1. Rahul Tripathi

Rahul Tripathi is probably the most difficult batter in the SRH lineup to bowl against. It is because of his ability to play shots from all corners of the ground. LSG will have his 35-run knock in mind, which he played against them earlier this season. Tripathi hasn’t fired completely in 2023 but looked good in the last game.

He smashed a quick 47 off 29, but got out at the wrong time. This season, he has scored 237 runs in 10 innings and is the highest scorer for the franchise. His presence on the crease will surely put pressure on Lucknow because they have struggled with their bowling resources in the last few games. Tripathi will be the man to watch out for because he can win the game on his own for SRH.
