Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders will play the 25th match of IPL 2022 on Friday at the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai. SRH have won 2 out of 4 matches and are placed in the eighth position in the points table. They won their previous match by 8 wickets after chasing a target of 163 runs in 19.1 overs against Gujarat Titans. KKR have managed to win 3 out of 5 matches and are placed in the 2nd position in the points table. They lost to Delhi Capitals in the previous match and will be looking to bounce back.

Here are 3 players you can avoid in your fantasy teams for the SRH vs KKR game:

1. Shashank Singh

Shashank Singh has a good record in this format, scoring 424 runs in 34 matches at a strike rate of 142. Although he has played the previous two matches he has not got a chance to bat. With him being an unknown quantity in the IPL and slotted to bat very late it is better to avoid him for this match as we are not sure if he would get enough balls to make an impact.

2. Rasikh Salam

Rasikh Salam bowled just the one over in the previous match and went wicketless, and with plenty of bowling options in the KKR team, it is not sure if he would get to complete his quota of overs. So ignore him for this match and look at other options.

3. Umran Malik

Umran Malik has clocked the quickest deliveries in every match he has been a part of, but has not been able to pick up wickets regularly. In the previous match he gave away 39 runs in 3 overs and picked up a wicket. Overall this season he has picked up 3 wickets in 4 matches, and he is not bowling with the new ball or at the death, so his chances to get wickets are significantly reduced. You can look at other options in the bowling section.
