How to automate bash scripts which includes sudo commands?

I added some commands to the bash script and those commands need root permission. So then I added sudo keyword to those commands. As the normal way, I added this script to the crontab file to automate my task.

Is there any way to give root access when it tries to run automatically?

Note: I'm using crontab to automate my script.

Yes. Read man sudoers sudoedit. You can give a single user passwordless access to a set of commands. You can specify a date range for the access, so if your script is only run between 03:00 and 03:15, you can allow access only then.
