In the previous season, KKR concluded their campaign in the seventh position, trailing four points behind the playoff berths, while Sunrisers found themselves at the bottom of the table. KKR's performance in 2023 was marked by inconsistency, but they have bolstered their squad significantly for the 2024 season, giving their fans ample reasons for optimism. Nonetheless, they will be facing a team determined to make a statement in this upcoming match.

Sunrisers Hyderabad managed to secure only four victories throughout the season. However, under new leadership, they have the opportunity to mount a more successful campaign in 2024. Assessing the KKR side, they may identify potential weaknesses to exploit at Eden Gardens.
