IPL 2023, PBKS vs KKR: Whose Pard Jad?
The teams of Punjab and Kolkata will face each other this afternoon at the IS Bindra Stadium of the Punjab Cricket Association in Mohali. If we look at the previous matches between the two teams, these teams have been beating each other alternately. Out of the last five matches, KKR has won three matches while Punjab Kings have lost two matches.
In today’s match, Punjab Kings will have a tough task. The reason for this is that the Punjab team will be playing at home. Kolkata, on the other hand, will be without their regular captain Shreyas Iyer. Shreyas Iyer is currently out of the squad due to a back injury. Shreyas is likely to return in the next match. Currently, the command of KKR is in the hands of Nitish Rana.
