Info:
- Punjab have registered two wins this season against Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals. In both games, captain KL Rahul led from the front and produced the highest individual score for Punjab. In the race for the Orange Cap, only Shikhar Dhawan has more runs than the Punjab skipper. With the ball, Mohammad Shami and Arshdeep Singh both have 6 wickets to their name.
- KKR’s only win of this IPL season was mainly due to a 56-ball 80 from Nitish Rana, however, he has only made 106 further runs across four innings. Elsewhere in the side, half-centuries have come from Rahul Tripathi, Andre Russell and Pat Cummins. With the ball, Russell remains the leading wicket taker but 5 of his 7 wickets came in one game.
- Punjab Kings have persisted with Chris Gayle at the expense of Dawid Malan who is still yet to get a game in the IPL. For KKR, we haven’t seen an appearance from Kiwis Lockie Ferguson and Tim Seifert or Aussie Ben Cutting.

PBKS Key Players:
KL Rahul: The captain continues to deliver at the top of the order. Put simply, with scores of 91, 5, 61, 4 and 60*, if KKR don’t get him early then they will regret it.
Ravi Bishnoi:
The young leg-spinner took 12 wickets in his debut IPL season last year but was left out of Punjab’s first four games. However, he showed his worth with the wickets of Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav in his first game of this year’s tournament.
Mohammed Shami:
The pace bowler took the crucial wicket of Rohit Sharma in their win over Mumbai Indians and he is slowly finding his feet in this year’s tournament. His economy rate of 5.25 from 4 overs was also impressive.

KKR Key Players:
Nitish Rana: KKR’s leading run scorer in this year’s competition has passed 50 on two occasions this season already. However, he needs some team-mates to back him up or else his contributions will matter little.
Eoin Morgan:
The England white-ball captain has registered only 45 runs at an average of 9.00 in the tournament so far. A far cry from 2020 when he hit 418 at 41.80. His return to form can’t come soon enough.
Pat Cummins: Similar to the 2020 season, Cummins has delivered more with the bat than the ball up to now. His wickets are currently costing 45.5 and he is capable of so much more.

Toss: KKR won the TOSS & elected to FIELD first.Pitch Report: We had some matches here during the India-England series. The first three games of that series saw teams batting first struggling to score and the chasing side won all three. But India made big scores in the next two and defended them. Shows that the toss really doesn't matter a lot. There is a lovely even covering of grass on this pitch and that suggests that batsmen would be licking their lips. Not a big ground and there should be value for runs. The captain winning the toss would want to chase.
