Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians (MI) will meet the Kane Williamson-led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in match 55 of the IPL 2021 edition, on Friday evening (October 8). This will be the penultimate clash of the league stage as the competition heads to the playoffs.&nbsp;

Talking about the playoffs, Delhi Capitals (DC), Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are set to enter the last four whereas Eoin Morgan-led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are firm favourites to secure the fourth spot. They have very much qualified, after a whopping 86-run win over Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Thursday (October 7), but MI still have an improbable task ahead to topple KKR and take the fourth spot in the SRH face-off.

It all seems done and dusted but MI still have a chance. They need to beat SRH by a whopping 170-run margin, or more, to move past KKR in NRR whereas they will be eliminated if they bat second. Ahead of the clash, here's the stats, trivia and squad details for SRH vs MI clash:

IPL 2021: MI vs SRH- Head to head record, trivia, stats and squads

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in their final league game of the season in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 on Friday (October 08). Kane Williamson &amp; Co. have already been eliminated from the race for playoffs and will be playing for pride against the defending champions, who are also all but out of the competition.

Ahead of the clash, talks of David Warner's potential return to the playing XI have intensified on social media. Fans have been requesting SRH to give Warner the farewell he deserves by including him in the playing XI for the final league game against MI. Warner has endured one of his worst IPL campaigns this season and has been left out of the playing XI by SRH after being sacked from captaincy.

Warner was sacked from captaincy during the first leg of the season in India before being dropped from the playing XI. He featured in the XI for SRH's first two games in the ongoing UAE leg before being dropped again. Warner has so far managed only 8 appearances this season and has managed to score only 195 runs.

Amid talks of Warner potentially making his comeback against Mumbai Indians on Friday to play his 'farewell' game for SRH, former India opener Gautam Gambhir has given his take on the matter. Gambhir said SRH's job is to win matches and not give farewell to players while stating that Warner should play if he fits in the best possible XI for SRH.

"See, a lot of great players didn't get farewells. We all know that even some legends didn't, although legend is a big word. I don't understand this system of farewells. Ultimately, you are playing to win the match. If your best playing XI includes him, then absolutely give him a chance. If not, then absolutely don't give him a chance. As simple as it gets. SunRisers' job is to win matches and not give farewells," Gambhir said on ESPN Cricinfo.

Warner can potentially be playing his final game for SRH tonight if he manages to make the cut in the XI as height get released by the franchise ahead of the mega auction. He has endured a difficult campaign and has struggled to cement his spot in the playing XI.

Warner is the only captain to have led SRH to an IPL title and is one of the most consistent run-getters in the history of the league with 5449 runs to his name in 150 matches at an impressive average of 41.59.

SRH's job is to win matches,  not give farewells: Gautam Gambhir on David Warner's potential return against MI

Match 52 of the IPL 2021 edition saw the Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) lock horns with the bottom-ranked Kane Williamson-led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday evening (October 6). Being asked to bat first, a struggling SRH camp managed a modest 141-7 riding on valuable contributions from Jason Roy, Williamson, etc.

In reply, RCB didn't have the best of starts but were comfortably placed at 92-3 in 14 overs; needing 50 off 36 balls with an in-form Glenn Maxwell in the middle. However, SRH bowlers didn't give anything away easily and combined to restrict Kohli &amp; Co. for a modest 137-6 and win by 4 runs. While Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jason Holder held their nerves in the death-overs, Jammu and&nbsp;Kashmir's youngster Umran Malik also played his part with his raw pace and tidy spell; 4-0-21-1.

Umran has already made heads turn with his pace. For the unversed, he also&nbsp;bowled the fastest delivery (152.95 km/h) in IPL 2021 during the RCB face-off. He also showed his ability to bowl as per the situation and hold his nerves in crunch moments. Hence, he was noticed by RCB and Indian captain Kohli.

At the post-match presentation, Kohli said, "This tournament throws up talent every year, good to see a guy bowling at 150 clicks. It is important to understand the progress of individuals from hereon. The pool of fast bowlers being strong is always a good sign for Indian cricket and whenever you see talent like this, you are going to have your eyes on them and make sure you maximise their potential, which is already being seen at the IPL level," he added.

Harshal Patel of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) now holds the record of taking the most number of wickets in an Indian Premier League (IPL) season as an Indian.

Harshal Patel of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) now holds the record of taking the most number of wickets in an Indian Premier League (IPL) season as an Indian. In the Match 52 of IPL 2021 in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday (October 6), Patel achieved the feat against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) as he took 29 wickets so far in the season. Previously, the record was held by Mumbai Indians pacer Jasprit Bumrah when he took 27 wickets in the 2020 season. Sunrisers Hyderabad seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar stands third in terms of most wickets scalped by Indians in an IPL season when he took 26 wickets in the 2017 season.

Bravo had 32 wickets in the 2013 season while Rabada had 30 in the last season. Patel stands third on the list. During the match, bottom-placed Sunrisers Hyderabad dented Royal Challengers Bangalore hopes of a top-two finish with a narrow four-run win in a last-over IPL thriller. The 30-year-old Patel took the wickets of SRH captain Kane Williamson, Wriddhiman Saha and Jason Holder.

Match 52 of the IPL 2021 edition will see the Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) lock horns with the bottom-ranked Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi on Wednesday (October 6).&nbsp;

The match will present RCB a chance to get to 18 points as the Kane Williamson-led SRH camp has struggled for a win throughout the IPL 14 season. RCB have another game after the SRH tie and, thus, they will hope to end in top-two since MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have now lost two in a row and can end at the third spot. Their several match-winners such as Devdutt Padikkal, Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, AB de Villiers, Yuzvendra Chahal, Harshal Patel, etc. make them overwhelming favourites vs SRH.

SRH, meanwhile, have only themselves to blame for such a lackluster performance throughout IPL 14 but they will be desperate to sign off on a high with back-to-back wins, with their last game versus Mumbai Indians (MI). The ardent Hyderabad fans would hope for their younger brigade to take more responsibility in the remaining two games as they look set to make significant changes with the mega auction coming up in few months, before IPL 2022.

RCB vs SRH, IPL 2021 prediction today: Who will win Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Sunrisers Hyderabad match?

Match 52 of the IPL 2021 edition will see the in-form Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) take on the off-form Kane Williamson-led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Wednesday evening (October 6). The game will be played at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi.<o:p></o:p>

The pitch in Abu Dhabi is two-paced, making it tough for batsmen to play their strokes. For the batters, judging the pace of the ball becomes tricky since some deliveries hold up while others come at the predicted rate. Captains usually have looked to bat first after winning the toss.<o:p></o:p>

The two teams will be facing each other for the second time in the IPL. The earlier face-off was won by RCB at MA Chidambaram Stadium by 6 runs.

SRH has been particularly poor this season and they are at the bottom of the table with just two wins in 12 games. The batting department has struggled in the absence of Jonny Bairstow. Veteran India pacers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Siddarth Kaul also hasn’t contributed enough with the ball. Jason Holder comparatively has fared well.<o:p></o:p>

On the other hand, RCB will be looking to win this game to bolster their chances of finishing in Top 2. <o:p></o:p>

While SRH would be looking for a win to gain some confidence and end the season on a high note, but they can spoil RCB’s chances of finishing as one of the top-two sides. They have been spectacular this season, winning&nbsp;eight out of 12 games.<o:p></o:p>

RCB's bowling unit has also responded admirably to the team's call, with pace bowlers Mohammed Siraj, George Garton, and Harshal Patel performing well. Yuzvendra Chahal, who has overcome his previous problems with some really good spells this season, will lead the spin team. Their batting, on the other hand, will rely largely on skipper Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Devdutt Padikkal, and all-rounder Glenn Maxwell.<o:p></o:p>

The batting department has struggled in the absence of Jonny Bairstow. Veteran India pacers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Siddarth Kaul also hasn’t contributed enough with the ball. Jason Holder comparatively has fared well. On the other hand, RCB will be looking to win this game to bolster their chances of finishing in Top 2. While SRH would be looking for a win to gain some confidence and end the season on a high note, but they can spoil RCB’s chances of finishing as one of the top-two sides. They have been spectacular this season, winning eight out of 12 games. RCB's bowling unit has also responded admirably to the team's call, with pace bowlers Mohammed Siraj, George Garton, and Harshal Patel performing well. Yuzvendra Chahal, who has overcome his previous problems with some really good spells this season, will lead the spin team. Their batting, on the other hand, will rely largely on skipper Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Devdutt Padikkal, and all-rounder Glenn Maxwell.

IPL 2021, RCB vs SRH, Live Streaming: When and where to watch Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Sunrisers Hyderabad?

Royal Challengers Bangalore made a mess of their run chase as bottom-placed Sunrisers Hyderabad dented their hopes of a top-two finish with a narrow four-run win in a last-over IPL thriller, here on Wednesday.

After putting on board a modest 141 for 7, SRH returned to limit RCB to 137 for six for only their third win in the league.

Chasing the total, Devdutt Padikkal (41) and Glenn Maxwell (40) scored bulk of the runs but RCB kept losing wickets and faltered in the end.

Defending 18 off last two overs, Jason Holder bowled a superb over, giving away just five runs for one wicket.

AB de Villiers smashed a six in the fourth ball of the final over bowled by Bhuvneshwar Kumar but couldn't take the team home as the South African could not pull off a six the team needed in the last ball.

Earlier, opener Jason Roy (44) shared a 58-ball 70 run stand with skipper Kane Williamson (31) to set the platform but SRH lost three quick wickets for two runs in seven balls to eventually end up with a below-par total.

RCB were dealt an early blow in their chase when Bhuvneshwar trapped Virat Kohli in the first over.

The decision to promote Daniel Christian at number 3 also didn't work as he was deceived by a slower delivery by Siddarth Kaul.

At 18 for 2, Srikar Bharat joined hands with Devdutt Padikkal and produced two handsome shots for a six and a four to take RCB to 37 for 2 in six overs.

New pace sensation Umran Malik then struck in his fifth delivery, removing Bharat as RCB slipped to 38 for 2.

New-man in Maxwell made his intent clear, clobbering Rashid Khan for a maximum. He repeated the treatment again, sending the Afghan spinner over long-on and then sweeping him for another four.

But with Malik clocking 150km plus consistently, RCB decided to target the other bowlers.

However, a poor call by Padikkal ended with Maxwell being runout, while the former too was caught at the boundary line as RCB further slumped to 109 for 4 in 16.5 overs.

Needing 29 off 18 balls, Shahbaz Ahmed smashed two fours to bring the equation down before being dismissed by Holder in the 19th over.

For RCB, Harshal Patel (3/33) and Daniel Christian (2/14) did the maximum damage after skipper Virat Kohli opted to bowl.

The spin duo of Yuzvendra Chahal (1/27) and Shahbaz Ahmed (0/21) kept things in check, while George Garton conceded 29 runs in two overs for his one wicket.

Abhishek Sharma, asked to open the innings, smashed a four and a six off Garton in the second over before holing out to Maxwell.

Williamson started off with a good-looking cover drive and then pulled one from Siraj for another boundary through square leg.

The New Zealand skipper was all elegance as he played two sweetly-timed shots for two more hits to the fence off Garton.

Left-arm spinner Shahbaz attacked the stumps but when he erred Roy was quick to pull him through square leg.

After the end of Powerplay, SRH were 50 for 1.

The spin duo of Shahbaz and Chahal bowled in tandem, not allowing the batsmen to free their arms.

While Roy lived dangerously, Williamson's stumps were knocked off by Patel with a cutter when he tried to create room for himself as SRH slipped to 84 for 2 in 12th over.

Priyam Garg smashed a six off Chahal before being caught by AB de Villiers off Christian in the next over.

Five balls later, Christian pulled off a sensational catch off his own bowling to remove the well-set Roy. Chahal trapped Abdul Samad in front of the wicket in the first ball of the next over as SRH slumped to 107 for 5 in 15.1 overs.

Wriddhiman Saha was next done in by a slower delivery by Patel. 
Rashid (7 not out) and Holder (16) tried to accelerate before the latter fell in the last ball.

[VIDEO] SRH pacer Umran Malik gets emotional as family members send special message for him after impressive IPL debut

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) pacer Umran Malik impressed with his raw pace on his Indian Premier League (IPL) debut against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Sunday. The 21-year-old right-arm pacer left many in awe of his speed when he clocked 151.03 kmph (93.84 mph) in his very first over and set the record for the fastest delivery bowled by an Indian pacer in IPL 2021 so far.

Hailing from Jammu and Kashmir, Malik was assisting the Sunrisers Hyderabad batsmen as a net bowler in training before he was roped in full-time as a replacement for left-arm speedster T Natarajan, who was ruled out due to COVID-19. Malik earned his maiden cap for SRH against KRK and bowled at a good pace consistently.

Speaking about his rise and the secret behind his sheer pace, Parvez Rasool, the captain of the Jammu and Kashmir cricket team said playing tennis ball cricket helped the 21-year-old massively in improving as a bowler. Rasool said Malik was always fast but the way he bowled on his debut was a performance of another level.

“He is a very talented boy. When I played him in the nets, he was quick. Woh bahot teekha thaa (he was pretty fast) but this was at a different level," Rasool was quoted as saying by PTI.

“He was literally hurrying the batters with sheer pace. I was very proud to see him hold his own at such a big stage,” he added.

Rasool revealed Malik did not receive any kind of formal coaching during his initial days and that playing tennis ball cricket helped him enhance his pace. Malik did not manage to get a wicket on his debut for SRH but finished with impressive figures of 27/0 in his four overs as SRH lost the game by six wickets, failing to defend a low-key total of 115 runs.

“I don’t think in his initial years, he had formal coaching before joining the coaching camp of District Sports Council. He used to play a lot of tennis ball matches on hire for Rs 500 or 1000. If you look at some of our best fast bowlers including Jasprit (Bumrah), they have all been tennis ball cricket products," said Rasool.

“The light weight of the tennis ball means that to generate pace, you need that extra effort. This kid developed strength and pace by playing tennis ball games that he would play in and around Jammu," he added.

SRH are already out of the race for playoffs in IPL 2021 but will be hoping to finish on a high with victories in their remaining two matches. Kane Williamson &amp; Co. will face RCB and Mumbai Indians in their final two league games of the season.

SRH pacer Umran Malik a product of tennis-ball cricket, had no formal coaching in initial years: J&K captain Parvez Rasool

Young Shubman Gill hit a fine half century after an impressive display by the bowlers to guide Kolkata Knight Riders to a six-wicket win over Sunrisres Hyderabad and keep their IPL play-offs hopes alive here on Sunday.

KKR first produced a clinical bowling effort to restrict SRH to a below-par 115 for eight and then rode on Gill's 57 off 51 balls to reach home comfortably.

The win consolidated KKR's position at the fourth place in the standings with 12 points from 13 games.

With three play-off berths already taken by Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore, the race is on for the fourth and final spot between KKR, Rajasthan Royals and defending champions Mumbai Indians while Punjab Kings are all but out of the tournament.

Defending a small total, SRH bowlers were right on their money from the word go as KKR batsmen struggled to force the pace of the innings.

The opening duo of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jason Holder were accurate upfront, while debutant Umran Malik's raw pace troubled Gill and Nitish Rana (25) in the middle overs.

Rashid Khan too created enough problems for the KKR batsmen, while Siddharth Kaul was incisive with his line and length, making it difficult for opposition batsmen to open their arms.

Venkatesh Iyer (8) and Rahul Tripathi (7) fell to Holder and Rashid in quick succession after which Gill and Rana found it difficult to rotate the strike as the asking rate climbed up with KKR reaching 44 for 2 at the halfway mark.

With Rana struggling to get going, Gill took the onus on himself to break the shackles and he did it by smacking Holder for two boundaries in the 12th over to bring down the equation to 53 off 42 balls.

Gill continued his attacking instinct and struck Malik for back-to-back boundaries in the next over to ease out the chase.

Gill and Rana looked at ease to finish off the chase before the former flicked one straight to Holder at long-on off Kaul's bowling.

The match witnessed some tense moment when Rana was dismissed in the 18th over but Dinesh Karthik (18 not out) and Eoin Morgan (2 not out) closed down the chase with two balls to spare.

Earlier, SRH skipper Kane Williamson's decision to bat first backfired as they lost wickets at regular intervals, failing to counter KKR's incisive bowling, especially of Tim Southee and the spin duo of Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine.

Already out of contention for a play-offs berth, SRH witnessed a horrible start to their innings, losing Wriddhiman Saha for a duck in the second ball, LBW to Southee.

Jason Roy (10) was the next to follow, caught by Southee off Shivam Mavi in the fourth over.

Skipper Williamson (26 off 21) tried to resurrect the innings and was looking good before he was run out by Shakib Al Hasan with SRH scoreboard reading 38 for three in 6.5 overs.

Once Williamson departed, it was a struggle for SRH batsmen even though Priyam Garg (21) and Abdul Samad (25) tried to forge a partnership.

Garg was holed out at deep midwicket to Rahul Tripathi off Chakravarthy, while Jason Holder (2) fell to the same bowler in his next over.

Samad tried his best to pick up the tempo in the last five overs, hitting three lusty sixes but eventually perished in search of quick runs, caught by Shubman Gill of Southee's bowling.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar (7 not out) and Siddharth Kaul (7 not out) remained unbeaten in a 12-run ninth-wicket partnership.

The spin duo of Shakib (1/20) and Narine were brilliant in the middle overs as SRH batsmen found the going tough against them.

While Narine returned wicketless, he was economical, finishing with impressive figures of 4-0-12-0.

Southee (2/26), Mavi (2/29) and Chakravarthy (2/26) shared six wickets among them.

Rashid Khan too created enough problems for the KKR batsmen, while Siddharth Kaul was incisive with his line and length, making it difficult for opposition batsmen to open their arms. Venkatesh Iyer (8) and Rahul Tripathi (7) fell to Holder and Rashid in quick succession after which Gill and Rana found it difficult to rotate the strike as the asking rate climbed up with KKR reaching 44 for 2 at the halfway mark. 6⃣th win of the season @KKRiders! 👏 👏 A comfortable victory for @Eoin16 & Co. as they beat #SRH by 6⃣ wickets 👍 👍 #VIVOIPL #KKRvSRH Scorecard 👉 https://t.co/Z5rRXTNps5 pic.twitter.com/lQINO8DijE — IndianPremierLeague (@IPL) October 3, 2021 × With Rana struggling to get going, Gill took the onus on himself to break the shackles and he did it by smacking Holder for two boundaries in the 12th over to bring down the equation to 53 off 42 balls. Gill continued his attacking instinct and struck Malik for back-to-back boundaries in the next over to ease out the chase. Gill and Rana looked at ease to finish off the chase before the former flicked one straight to Holder at long-on off Kaul's bowling. The match witnessed some tense moment when Rana was dismissed in the 18th over but Dinesh Karthik (18 not out) and Eoin Morgan (2 not out) closed down the chase with two balls to spare. Earlier, SRH skipper Kane Williamson's decision to bat first backfired as they lost wickets at regular intervals, failing to counter KKR's incisive bowling, especially of Tim Southee and the spin duo of Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine. Already out of contention for a play-offs berth, SRH witnessed a horrible start to their innings, losing Wriddhiman Saha for a duck in the second ball, LBW to Southee. Jason Roy (10) was the next to follow, caught by Southee off Shivam Mavi in the fourth over. Skipper Williamson (26 off 21) tried to resurrect the innings and was looking good before he was run out by Shakib Al Hasan with SRH scoreboard reading 38 for three in 6.5 overs. Once Williamson departed, it was a struggle for SRH batsmen even though Priyam Garg (21) and Abdul Samad (25) tried to forge a partnership. Garg was holed out at deep midwicket to Rahul Tripathi off Chakravarthy, while Jason Holder (2) fell to the same bowler in his next over. Samad tried his best to pick up the tempo in the last five overs, hitting three lusty sixes but eventually perished in search of quick runs, caught by Shubman Gill of Southee's bowling. Bhuvneshwar Kumar (7 not out) and Siddharth Kaul (7 not out) remained unbeaten in a 12-run ninth-wicket partnership. The spin duo of Shakib (1/20) and Narine were brilliant in the middle overs as SRH batsmen found the going tough against them. While Narine returned wicketless, he was economical, finishing with impressive figures of 4-0-12-0. Southee (2/26), Mavi (2/29) and Chakravarthy (2/26) shared six wickets among them.

Former India captain Kris Srikkanth was left impressed by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) pacer Umran Malik after his eventful debut in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 on Sunday. The 21-year-old fast bowler from Jammu and&nbsp;Kashmir made his debut for SRH in their clash against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and bowled at an impressive pace.

Malik went on to bowl the fastest delivery by an Indian bowler in IPL 2021 so far when he clocked up 150 kph in his very first over against KKR. The 21-year-old failed to take a wicket but conceded only 27 runs in his four overs while also leaving a mark with his pace.

Srikkanth believes Malik can be moulded into a long-term prospect by SRH. He also drew parallels between the youngster's action and Pakistan legend Waqar Younis' bowling action. Srikkanth said Malik reminded hi of Younis' bowling style.&nbsp;

"Don't forget, Umran Malik of SRH, he is a good pick. That guy can be moulded into a fantastic fast bowler. Nitish Rana struggled. Some weaknesses of KKR's batting was exposed,"&nbsp;Srikkanth said in a video on his YouTube channel.

"He has just played 1 T20 game. See somebody made a very good point during commentary - Jasprit Bumrah was picked like this. Today see, where he is. You never know. His run-up, his action everything resembles a bit of Waqar Younis's style. He has a very good rhythmic run-up and he is able to bowl at a good pace. The way he was making Nitish Rana dance was amazing," he added.

Malik, who was a net bowler for SRH before, was roped in as a replacement for T Natarajan by the franchise. Natarajan was ruled out of the tournament after testing positive for COVID-19. Malik has so far played only 2 T20s and 1 List A game in his career.

His run-up, action resembles Waqar Younis' style: Kris Srikkanth impressed by SRH pacer Umran Malik

Nothing has clicked for the Kane Williamson-led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in IPL 2021. While their miseries commenced as soon as the IPL 14 edition kicked off in India in April this year, they have continued to slump further in the second and final leg in the UAE.

With a change in leadership, from David Warner to Kane Williamson, SRH's woes didn't end as they continue to languish at the bottom with only two wins from 12 encounters. After their 6-wicket loss to the two-time winners Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, on Sunday (October 3), former Indian opener-turned-commentator Virender Sehwag hilariously trolled Williamson &amp; Co.'s rusty batting approach versus Eoin Morgan-led KKR.

In a video shared on his official Instagram handle, Sehwag reviewed Sunday's doubleheaders, which also saw Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) square off with Punjab Kings (PBKS) earlier, Sehwag said, "Hyderabad started with Roy and Saha but the two returned to the dugout in quick succession. After this, Williamson and Garg handled the innings a bit. But it was such a slow wicket and runs were being scored at such a slow pace that even on the TV screen, a message popped up - 'Sorry for the Interruption.' Williamson scored 26 runs and Garg made 21,” Sehwag said.

“After this, Abdul Samad came and he hit three sixes. But after scoring 25 runs, he too got out. The rest of the batters were acting as sleeping pills and I fell asleep in the last four overs. When I woke up, I found that Hyderabad scored 115/8 in 20 overs,” he added. Here's the video:

Opting to bat first, none of the SRH mainstays stayed for a long period as they managed only a paltry 115-8 in 20 overs, with cameos from Abdul Samad, Priyam Garg&nbsp;and Williamson. In reply, KKR chased down the score in the final over, winning the game with two balls and six wickets to spare. For Kolkata, Shubman Gill, Tim Southee, Varun Chakravarthy and Shivam Mavi were the top-performers.

With this loss, SRH remain at the bottom and have two more games to play for pride. While they will look to end on a high, they are now sure to end at the last position.

For Kolkata, Shubman Gill, Tim Southee, Varun Chakravarthy and Shivam Mavi were the top-performers. With this loss, SRH remain at the bottom and have two more games to play for pride. While they will look to end on a high, they are now sure to end at the last position.

'I fell asleep in the last four overs' - Virender Sehwag hilariously trolls Kane Williamson-led SRH after KKR loss

David Warner has had a terrible IPL 2021. The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) opener, who has crossed the 500-run mark every time for the Orange Army since 2014, didn't have a great start to IPL 2021 with the bat and the franchise's back-to-back defeats in the first leg saw him before removed from captaincy.

In the second and final leg, currently underway in the UAE, Warner had two forgettable outings before being dropped from the playing XI. In addition, he wasn't even spotted in the SRH dugout following his ouster -- raising eyebrows among Hyderabad fans worldwide. While Warner was seen cheering for Hyderabad from the stands, during SRH's face-off with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in match 49 on Sunday (October 3), many ardent followers of the franchise became emotional; seeing the plight of Warner.

Former Indian opener-turned-commentator Sanjay Manjrekar has now opened up on Warner's mysterious omission and believes it is 'non-cricketing reason' behind his sudden ouster.

Manjrekar told ESPNCricinfo's RunOrder, "Reason has to be non-cricketing. Warner's numbers over the last few years have been just mind-boggling. I think he is the best IPL batter we have ever seen with regards to longevity," said Manjrekar. Warner has managed just 195 runs in eight matches this season, in stark contrast to his record in the previous seasons of the IPL. He indicated in comments on Instagram that he may never play another game for SRH this season and if that turns out to be true, this will mark the first time since 2013 that Warner has scored less than 500 runs in a season.

"His poor form has not been going on for so long that Warner gets dropped on batting form. So, it has to be a non-cricketing reason and we have no idea what that is. That is the other thing I don't understand, why everything is so hush-hush, but there is something definitely going wrong there," said Manjrekar.

For the unversed, Warner has crossed the 500-run mark on every occasion ever since he joined the SRH camp in 2014. In 2016, the swashbuckling left-hander had led SRH to their only title in the IPL. However with such unfortunate turn of events of Warner and the SRH team management's possible fallout, it seems very likely that the Aussie opener will be released from the franchise and enter the mega auction pool, ahead of IPL 2022 edition.

SRH, meanwhile, lost their face-off versus KKR and continue to remain at the bottom with two more games to go. They are set to finish the season at the last position.

IPL 2021: Sanjay Manjrekar opines on David Warner's SRH axing, believes 'non-cricketing reason' behind his ouster

David Warner has had a terrible season for the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in IPL 2021. The swashbuckling SRH opener was criticised for his ordinary strike-rate and dwindling form during the first leg of IPL 14 whereas his team's back-to-back defeats added to his woes. Eventually, he was sacked as the SRH captain in the first leg and also lost the faith of the team management to be dropped after successive failures with the bat in the UAE leg.

Warner has played only two games for SRH in the second and final leg. Despite the team struggling and set to end the season at the bottom, Warner has been dropped from the playing XI of the Kane Williamson-led Hyderabad franchise. During match 49 which was held between SRH and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Sunday evening, at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, Warner was finally spotted at the stands after not even travelling with the team to the stadium in their last few encounters.&nbsp;

As the cameras spotted Warner sitting in the stands, cheering and waving the SRH flag, it sent the ardent Hyderabad fans into a meltdown seeing the plight of the Aussie opener. Regarded as one of the biggest stars and performers from the SRH camp since 2013, Warner's disastrous season is very likely to see him get released and go&nbsp;under the hammer in the upcoming mega auction before IPL 2022. Hence, the SRH fans became emotional seeing Warner at&nbsp;the stands.

IPL 2021: Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad - Head to head record, trivia, stats and squads

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)'s playoffs hopes were dealt with a massive blow after they lost by five wickets against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in their last match. KKR will be looking to bounce back to winning ways when they lock horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their 13th&nbsp;match of the IPL 2021 season on Sunday.&nbsp;

While KKR will be looking to remain alive in the race for playoffs with a win, Kane Williamson &amp; Co. will be playing for pride after bowing out of the competition early. SRH became the first team to be knocked out of the competition after losing their last game against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by six wickets.

Sunrisers Hyderabad are out of the race for playoffs but they might spoil the party for KKR, who are currently placed fourth on the points table with ten points from 12 matches so far this season. Eoin Morgan &amp; Co. are in a must-win situation as a&nbsp;defeat for KKR on Sunday will all but end their campaign in IPL 2021.

With injuries to the likes of Andre Russell and Lockie Ferguson, KKR will hope for the likes of Sunil Narine and young&nbsp;Venkatesh Iyer among others to step up against SRH and help them secure a much-needed win at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai. SRH, on the other hand, will look to hand more game time to the youngsters in the squad after an early exit from the competition.

In the last meeting between the two sides, KKR had defeated SRH by ten runs in a close encounter by successfully defending a total of 187 runs in Chennai. When it comes to the head-to-head record between the two sides, KKR have dominated SRH, over the years with 13 wins in 20 meetings. Morgan &amp; Co. will hope to continue their dominant run against SRH once again on Sunday.

KKR vs SRH match prediction: SRH struggles have been well-documented this season. While their batting line-up has failed to fire as a unit, the bowlers too have been far from impressive. With only two wins in eleven games so far, SRH will have their task cut out against a hungry KKR, who are in a must-win situation to remain alive in the competition. KKR might edge out SRH in Dubai tonight and make it two wins in a row against them this season.

The pitches at Dubai have been batsmen-friendly and easy to bat on. However, the pitch may likely offer some movement for pacers initially.

SRH has been particularly poor this season and they are at the bottom of the table with just two wins in 11 games. However, UAE has turned fate for Kolkata Knight Riders but it still isn’t enough for them to qualify. <o:p></o:p>

While Sunrisers Hyderabad would be looking for a win to gain some confidence but they can spoil KKR’s chances of reaching the play-offs. However, this is a must-win game for the Knight Riders who if lose will be possibly out of the playoffs race. They have won five out of 12 games played with three of the wins coming in UAE-leg. <o:p></o:p>

Eon Morgan would be looking to find back his batting form after being pointed out by coach McCullum. Dinesh Karthik who is 4 runs away from 4,000 runs in IPL would be wanting to take his team closer to the play-offs. While everyone would be looking forward to Venkatesh Iyer who has proven his worth in just 5 games.

However, UAE has turned fate for Kolkata Knight Riders but it still isn’t enough for them to qualify. While Sunrisers Hyderabad would be looking for a win to gain some confidence but they can spoil KKR’s chances of reaching the play-offs. However, this is a must-win game for the Knight Riders who if lose will be possibly out of the playoffs race. They have won five out of 12 games played with three of the wins coming in UAE-leg. Eon Morgan would be looking to find back his batting form after being pointed out by coach McCullum. Dinesh Karthik who is 4 runs away from 4,000 runs in IPL would be wanting to take his team closer to the play-offs.

IPL 2021, KKR vs SRH live streaming: When and where to watch Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad?

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) star David Warner has had a dramatic fall from grace in the Indian Premier League (IPL). One of the best batsmen in the history of the league, Warner had failed to cement his spot in SRH's playing XI after being sacked from captaincy. From leading SRH to their maiden IPL title in 2016, Warner is now struggling to make the cut in the XI as a pure batsman.

Over the years, Warner has played an instrumental role in SRH's success in the IPL, however, the Australian batsman has had to endure a terrible campaign so far this season. Warner was sacked from captaincy midway through the season during the first leg of the tournament in India earlier this year.

He played the first two matches in the ongoing UAE leg before being dropped from the playing XI after failing to impress with the willow. After being left out of the playing XI against Rajasthan Royals, Warner once again did not travel with the SRH squad for their game against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Sharjah on Thursday.

Amid reports that SRH have started to look beyond him and are planning to offload him ahead of the upcoming mega auction, Warner took to Instagram to post a cryptic message in his story.&nbsp;“It's not about who is real to you face. It's about who stays real behind your back," read the message shared by Warner which appears to be a dig at the SRH team management.

In what has been a disastrous season for Warner at SRH, the prolific left-hander has so far managed to notch up 195 runs in eight matches in IPL 2021. He has not featured in the playing XI in his team's last two encounters and looks set to miss the remaining three matches as well amid rumours of a fallout with the team management.

SRH lost against Chennai Super Kings by six wickets on Thursday and are out of the race for playoffs with only two wins in eleven matches so far this season.

'It's about who stays real behind your back': David Warner posts cryptic message after being left out of SRH's playing XI against CSK

Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Kane Williamson admitted that his side didn't post enough runs on the board to put pressure on the MS Dhoni-led <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ipl-2021-chennai-super-kings-beat-sunrisers-hyderabad-by-six-wickets-enter-play-offs-417213">Chennai Super Kings</a> on Thursday (September 30). CSK became the first team to qualify for the playoffs after defeating&nbsp;SRH by six wickets, on the other hand, SRH became the first team to be knocked out of the IPL 2021.&nbsp;

During the post-match presentation, Williamson said, "Not quite enough runs. It wasn't an easy surface and although we didn't get enough we showed a fighting spirit in the last quarter with the ball."

"We need 10-15 extra runs with the bat though and we need to make those small changes. After the powerplay we were 40-something and although you feel like you want more, it was a good start on that surface," he said.&nbsp;

IPL 2021: 'We need to improve,' says Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Kane Williamson

Match 44 of the IPL 2021 edition will see the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) face the Kane Williamson-led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah on Thursday (September 30). As the tournament has reached the business end with the league stages about to get over soon, the three-time winners CSK will leave no stone unturned to bolster their position in the top-two versus a struggling SRH camp.&nbsp;

The SRH franchise will head into this encounter on the back of a spirited win over Rajasthan Royals (RR), in Dubai, early this week. However, facing the in-form and well-oiled Chennai line-up won't be an easy task for the new-look SRH team, sans David Warner. It will be interesting to see how Jason Roy tackles the likes of Deepak Chahar, Dwayne Bravo and Moeen Ali, etc. If he gets going once again, he can set the stage a platform for his bottom-lying side.&nbsp;

On the other hand, CSK will try to tweak their playing XI in order to know their best combination with&nbsp;playoffs spot now more or less certain. It will be interesting to see if both Bravo and Sam Curran now get the nod from the team management.&nbsp;

Match prediction for CSK vs SRH: On paper, it doesn't look like the clash will go down the wire given how strong CSK have been this season, especially since it resumed in the UAE. However, they still need one win to guarantee a slot in the last four, hence, they will be hungry to taste success versus Hyderabad. The powerplay overs can well determine the fate of the contest given how slow the surfaces have been at Sharjah this season. In terms of head-to-head and form, CSK look strong favourites to win the contest. Nonetheless, no team can be ruled out at any given point in T20s.

Match 44 of the IPL 2021 edition will see two teams with contrasting fortunes to lock horns with each other as the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will face Kane Williamson-led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).

While it wasn't a clinical performance by the team, they are once again winning games courtesy different match-winners and from troubled situations. The three-time winners will now hope for their experienced duo -- Dhoni and Suresh Raina -- to also be among runs. So far, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Faf du Plessis, Ravindra Jadeja, Moeen Ali, Shardul Thakur and Deepak Chahar have done the bulk of job for the franchise.&nbsp;

On the other hand, SRH are also coming into this game on the back of a comfortable win over Rajasthan Royals (RR).

IPL 2021, SRH vs CSK, Live Streaming: When and where to watch Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings?

David Warner was left out from Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)'s playing XI against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 on Monday. His exclusion came as a surprise to many as the left-hander continues to struggle to cement his spot in the playing XI after being sacked from captaincy earlier this season.

Warner, who has been one of the most consistent run-getters in the league over the years, was sacked from captaincy midway through the IPL 2021 season. He was asked to step down after SRH managed only one win in their first six games of the season with Kane Williamson taking over as captain.

However, the decision to sack Warner didn't work quite well in SRH's favour as Williamson &amp; Co. have managed only two wins so far in ten games and are all but out of the race for playoffs. Warner was part of SRH's playing XI in their first two games of the UAE leg where he managed to score 0 and 2 before being dropped on Monday.&nbsp;

Former India pacer Irfan Pathan shared his thoughts on Warner's situation at SRH and said the franchise has sent a clear-cut signal to the Australian batsman about his future. Pathan feels it's the end of Warner at SRH and that the franchise has already started looking beyond him to plan for the future.

“Sunrisers are looking for the future, isn’t it? It’s a clear-cut signal to David Warner as well, that we are looking beyond you. It’s a very simple thing,” Pathan said on Star Sports.

“He was the captain – the start of the season. Then, they dropped him from the team and the captaincy. Then they brought him back after the break, and then they again dropped him. That means they are looking ahead. Priyam Garg came in, Abhishek Sharma came in. They just want to try out their best players who might be playing in the future for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Whatever I saw today, quite a few positives for Sunrisers Hyderabad,” he added.

Warner has so far played 150 matches in his IPL career and is one of the leading run-getters of all time with 5449 runs to his name at an impressive average of over 41. He remains the only captain to have led SRH to an IPL title but his time at the franchise seems to be coming to an end now.

Sunrisers Hyderabad went on to win the game against RR by seven wickets on Sunday after successfully chasing down the target of 165 runs with 9 balls to spare. In the absence of Warner, his replacement Jason Roy slammed a cracking 60 off 42 balls while skipper Williamson scored an unbeaten 51 off 41 balls to help SRH secure their second win of the season.

Clear cut signal to David Warner, Sunrisers are looking beyond him: Irfan Pathan makes bold claim on SRH star's future

David Warner has been one of the biggest match-winners for the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) franchise ever since he joined the side in 2014. Since then, the Aussie opener has been most consistent for the Orange Army, surpassing the 500-run mark on every occasion and ending as the leading run-getter in three seasons.&nbsp;

Apart from this, Warner has also led the SRH camp to their solitary IPL title so far, in the 2016 edition. However, things changed for the worst for the veteran opener in the IPL 2021 edition. He started the first leg of IPL 14 on a slow and ordinary note, with a strike-rate way below his standards, before some reports stated that the team management wasn't happy with the way he reacted to Manish Pandey's omission, after the Super Over game versus Delhi Capitals (DC) early this year.

Not being able to score freely, along with the SRH franchise facing back-to-back defeats, Warner was removed from the playing XI. He was also replaced by Kane Williamson as the captain before IPL 14 came to a halt in early May, due to the Covid-19 crisis in India.&nbsp;

Come the second and final leg, which is underway in the UAE, Warner's struggles have continued. He managed scores of 0 and 2 before being overlooked for SRH's encounter versus Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Monday (September 27). Nonetheless, many viewers couldn't even spot Warner in the dugout. Not seeing him travel with the team to the stadium led to many speculations.&nbsp;

Now, Warner has all but confirmed that he won't be travelling to the stadium any further in the ongoing season, hinting at his possible exit from SRH. Here's what he replied to a fan who asked about his whereabouts when the Aussie opener shared a glimpse of the SRH-RR encounter from his hotel room:

It is highly possible now that Warner is set to enter the mega auction, which is slated to be held later this year ahead of the IPL 2022 edition. With two new teams entering the scene, along with some other franchises also looking for a captain, Warner's stakes might rise further in the next season. However, his likely departure at the SRH franchise leaves many disappointed given how big a player he has been at the Orange Army.

David Warner has been one of the biggest match-winners for the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) franchise ever since he joined the side in 2014. Since then, the Aussie opener has been most consistent for the Orange Army, surpassing the 500-run mark on every occasion and ending as the leading run-getter in three seasons.

David Warner has been one of the biggest match-winners for the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) franchise ever since he joined the side in 2014. Since then, the Aussie opener has been most consistent for the Orange Army, surpassing the 500-run mark on every occasion and ending as the leading run-getter in three seasons. Apart from this, Warner has also led the SRH camp to their solitary IPL title so far, in the 2016 edition. However, things changed for the worst for the veteran opener in the IPL 2021 edition. He started the first leg of IPL 14 on a slow and ordinary note, with a strike-rate way below his standards, before some reports stated that the team management wasn't happy with the way he reacted to Manish Pandey's omission, after the Super Over game versus Delhi Capitals (DC) early this year. Not being able to score freely, along with the SRH franchise facing back-to-back defeats, Warner was removed from the playing XI. He was also replaced by Kane Williamson as the captain before IPL 14 came to a halt in early May, due to the Covid-19 crisis in India.

He managed scores of 0 and 2 before being overlooked for SRH's encounter versus Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Monday (September 27). Nonetheless, many viewers couldn't even spot Warner in the dugout. Not seeing him travel with the team to the stadium led to many speculations. Now, Warner has all but confirmed that he won't be travelling to the stadium any further in the ongoing season, hinting at his possible exit from SRH. Here's what he replied to a fan who asked about his whereabouts when the Aussie opener shared a glimpse of the SRH-RR encounter from his hotel room: pic.twitter.com/727aZ4fmQl — R.
