Bairstow has been in great form and is already warmed up after success in the recent limited-overs series against India.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe return of India pace bowler Bhuvneshwar will strengthen their bowling attack, which already has the likes of Rashid Khan, Jason Holder and T Natarajan.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBhuvneshwar missed a part of last year&#39;s IPL due to an injury. The right-arm pace bowler did well in the recent limited-overs series against England.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe SRH pace attack as well as spin attack will be a challenge for KKR who struggled with their batting in the last IPL season in the UAE.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nKKR&#39;s hard-hitting all-rounder Andre Russell failed to get going with the bat and that had a massive impact on their batting.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nA lot will depend on skipper Eoin Morgan, batsmen Shakib Al Hasan and Shubman Gill as well as Russell if KKR are to score big in the first match of the tournament against a strong SRH bowling line-up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>KKR&#39;s strongest point is their bowling, especially the spin bowling attack. They have also included Harbhajan Singh to Sunil Narine, Varun Chakravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav and Shakib.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2021\/04\/harbhajans-intensity-commitment-impresses-dinesh-karthik.jpg\" style=\"border-style:solid; border-width:1px; margin:1px\" \/>Pat Cummins will lead their bowling and Russell mixes the deliveries well. It is their batting though which will have to rise to the occasion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Sunrisers Hyderabad Expected Playing XI<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>David Warner (c), Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson, Vijay Shankar\/Kedar Jadhav, Mohammad Nabi, Abdul Samad, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sandeep Sharma, T Natarajan&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Kolkata Knight Expected Playing XI<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi, Nitish Rana, Eoin Morgan (C), Dinesh Karthik (WK), Andre Russell, Shakib Al Hasan\/Sunil Narine, Pat Cummins, Harbhajan Singh, Prasidh Krishna, Varun Chakravarthy&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
