SRH skipper Pat Cummins won the coin toss and elected to field first against KKR at Eden Gardens.

Hinting at the potential impact of spin tonight, KKR’s lineup saw one alteration as Moeen Ali stepped in for Spencer Johnson. During his sole IPL 2025 match, Moeen impressed with figures of 2 for 23 on a turning pitch in Guwahati. Meanwhile, SRH introduced Sri Lanka’s Kamindu Mendis into their bowl-first starting eleven, replacing Wiaan Mulder, while Travis Head awaited his chance as an Impact Player on the bench.

Cummins acknowledged that SRH faced a tough loss to KKR in the previous season’s final and expressed his desire for a different outcome. The team did address their batting struggles in their last two matches, but he believes they excel when playing with aggression. He assured that the team is not overly concerned about the issue.
