TEAM NEWS
Kolkata Knight Riders: The two-time IPL champions and 2021?finalists looked solid in their season-opening win against?holders Chennai Super Kings. But against Royal Challengers?Bangalore, they were gasping for air. Skipper Shreyas Iyer's?little knock pretty much summed up the team's approach -- going for the kill.
In that instance, however, that backfired. Will they change the?tactics? Very unlikely. They have a veritable list of match?winners - Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Venkatesh Iyer, Ajinkya?Rahane, Nitish Rana, Umesh Yadav, Tim Southee, Varun?Chakaravarthy, etc.
Punjab Kings: Mayank Agarwal's side is equally flamboyant.?Shikhar Dhawan, Odean Smith, Shahrukh Khan, Bhanuka?Rajapaksa, Rahul Chahar, etc. all played their part in that win against RCB. With Kagiso Rabada available for the?match, PBKS can in fact take the game to KKR. They sure have the team to challenge the best, as usual.
