IPL 2024 Matchup: Kolkata Knight Riders vs. Punjab Kings Team News and Expected Starting 11
IPL 2024 Match 42: Kolkata Knight Riders vs. Punjab Kings (Playing 11): On Friday, April 26, at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, Kolkata Knight Riders will take on Punjab Kings.
After seven games and ten points, KKR is now ranked second in the standings. PBKS, on the other side, have just four points from eight games, placing them ninth. The Kings need to win all of their next games in order to stay in the postseason hunt, since they are now in serious difficulty.
Team News & Injury Update for KKR vs. PBKS
The latest game saw Kolkata Knight Riders defeat RCB in an exciting fashion. With the exception of Nitish Rana, who is still having difficulty and could take some time to recover, they don’t have any injury concerns. However, KKR has a few options for this game. Mitchell Starc, who performed poorly once again, may be swapped out for Dushmantha Chameera or any other foreign player. Vaibhav Arora may enter the side, while Suyash Sharma may also face the axe.
In the previous game, GT defeated the Punjab Kings. Sam Curran will captain the team for the next game since Shikhar Dhawan is probably going to be out. Punjab could withdraw Jonny Bairstow and Rilee Rossouw are able to enter the side. In several games, they have come perilously close to victory but have been unable to cross the finish line. In the last encounter, Harpreet Bhatia was used as an Impact Player; however, Atharva Taide may be employed in this one instead.
