Winning the toss is primary for the teams in this IPL. All the matches are won by the teams chasing so far, except SRH. Kolkata Knight Riders after winning a match and losing, this time want to be back to winning ways. They lost a low-scoring match to RCB. On the other hand, Punjab Kings want to continue their winning momentum. It is known that they won a high-scoring match against RCB in style.
Winning the toss, KKR has chosen to field first. We have to see how Mayank Agarwal and Co take up things batting first. For Kolkata, they brought in the extra seamer by picking in Shivam Mavi. It makes sense as they were troubled in the last match. On the other hand, Punjab Kings had to make a tough call by resting Sandeep Sharma. Kagiso Rabada replaces him.
Here’s the playing XI of both the teams
Punjab Kings: Mayank Agarwal, Shikhar Dhawan, Liam Livingstone, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Shahrukh Khan, Odean Smith, Raj Bawa, Arshdeep Singh, Harpreet Brar, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar
Kolkata Knight Riders: Ajinkya Rahane, Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana, Shreyas Iyer, Sam Billings, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Tim Southee, Umesh Yadav, Shivam Mavi, Varun Chakravarthy.
