IPL 2025: Kamindu Mendis Makes Debut As Hyderabad Opt To Field First Against Kolkata
Hosts Kolkata Knight Riders: Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and elected to field first against Kolkata Knight Riders in Match 15 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Eden Gardens here on Thursday. Hosts Kolkata Knight Riders have made one change in their playing XI with Moeen Ali coming in for Australian pacer Spencer Johnson, whereas visitors Sunrisers Hyderabad also made a few changes with Kamindu Mendis making his IPL debut in place of Abhinav Manohar. Simarjeet Singh replaces Travis Head.
Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins said, "We are going to have a bowl first. It looks like a pretty good wicket. I'm terrible at reading wickets. Have a crack with the ball. We have played in the final. They played really well last year.
"Little bit of change for both sides. We have spoken about it. We are our best when we are aggressive. Most of those wickets have come with reckless batting. Not think too much about it. Keep moving forward. (On Aniket Verma) He's been amazing. That youthfulness. Who's bowling doesn't faze him? He's taking on nicely. You get a feel of how the game is going, and we are clear of who we want to be our impact subs," he said.
