Players to watch
Shreyas Iyer: The Punjab skipper has taken to life at Mullanpur with aplomb as he leads the rejuvenated PBKS from the front. The classy right-hander has tallied 250 runs in the ongoing season of the IPL in five outings thus far and will look to continue his fine touch against KKR.
Priyansh Arya: The dashing young opener has set the IPL alight with his ton against Chennai Super Kings, which made the world take notice of the swashbuckling southpaw. He helped his side to a positive start in the game against Sunrisers Hyderabad as well. Punjab will hope for the 20-year-old to be at it again against KKR.
Sunil Narine: The seasoned Windies maverick was in the thick of things, with both the bat and the ball, against CSK in KKR’s last outing as the all-rounder picked up a three-fer before smashing 44 runs with the willow to lead his side to victory. His importance to the team is of essence, as evidenced by KKR’s title win in the previous campaign.
Varun Chakravarthy: The wily spinner has been in incredible touch in recent times and has troubled batters at every given opportunity. His spin partnership with Narine only enhances the bowling attack of KKR.
Ajinkya Rahane: The KKR skipper, who has amassed a surplus of 200 runs in six assignments this season, has been a rock for his side with the bat as the solid batter permits others in his unit to build their innings around him when in the middle. His experience would come in handy if the side from Kolkata find themselves in a fix at Mullanpur.
