Sunrisers Hyderabad head coach Daniel Vettori has acknowledged the ongoing potency of Kolkata Knight Riders' spinners Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy despite their recent underperformance. Vettori stressed the importance of the upcoming battle with these experienced bowlers ahead of their IPL match.

Vettori observed that the pitch at Eden Gardens, which will host the match, might not offer the expected spin, which could favor aggressive strokeplay. He noted the surface's grass cover and its high-scoring history, hinting at another potential run-fest similar to previous tournaments at the venue.

Meanwhile, Ishan Kishan, stepping up as captain in Pat Cummins' absence, has impressed with his leadership and batting prowess, lending confidence to the team amid some injury setbacks. With other key players like Brydon Carse recovering, strategic adjustments are anticipated.
