Chennai’s Chepauk has not been a favourite hunting ground for former IPL champions Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders. SRH haven’t won at Chepauk in three attempts and KKR have lost seven out of their nine IPL games here. But one man who will relish this ground will be Harbhajan Singh. The veteran spinner, who will turn out for KKR in IPL 2021, has played a lot of cricket in Chennai Super Kings colours and will be a potent force in Eoin Morgan’s arsenal. Harbhajan, who has bowled with the new ball, has dismissed SRH skipper David Warner four times in IPL. Apart from the expected Harbhajan vs Warner battle, the SRH v KKR contest will see several other mini battles as both teams look to make a winning start in IPL 2021. Both teams have exciting players and SRH will be happy to welcome back veteran seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who was in solid form in the recently concluded India vs England ODIs. This will be Morgan’s first full season as KKR captain. Get live cricket scores and live updates of SRH v KKR here.
