SRH vs KKR, IPL 2025 Match 68: Top Players to pick
Abhishek Sharma: Abhishek Sharma has found his touch in the last few matches of the IPL, taking the attack to the opposition bowlers on his way to giving decent starts to SRH.
Pat Cummins: Pat Cummins is the go-to bowler for SRH in tough situations time and again in the IPL 2025, taking big wickets in their last couple of wins.
Ajinkya Rahane: Ajinkya Rahane has been the most consistent batter for KKR in the IPL this season, but the rest of the batting lineup hasn’t come together to support him well enough.
Andre Russell: Andre Russell has been at his brutal best with the bat in the last few matches for KKR in the 2025 season after being promoted up the order, while he has taken wickets consistently whenever the captain has given him the ball.
SRH vs KKR, IPL 2025 Match 68: Players to avoid
Nitish Kumar Reddy: Nitish Kumar Reddy has often been demoted in the SRH batting order, which is why he has rarely made good contributions with the bat, while getting a handful of overs to bowl all IPL.
Venkatesh Iyer: Ventakesh Iyer has managed to play only a couple of decent innings for KKR in the IPL 2025, struggling for touch and fluency, which is why he could be avoided in the fantasy team.
