KL Rahul will face off against his former team in this intense match. With six points from four games, they are currently ranked second in the points table. Kyle Mayers has performed admirably at the top of the order, giving them a great start with the bat. Although the middle order hasn’t been particularly effective, Nicholas Pooran is one such batter who has showed his class. In the last game, he smashed the fastest fifty of the season and contributed to the Lucknow-based team’s win. With the bat, Krunal Pandya has also put together a couple strong performances.

The Punjab Kings, on the other hand, have won two and lost two of their four games. With four points in their pocket, they are now in sixth place. PBKS haven’t yet used their strong starting lineup. While Bhanuka Rajapaksa, who looked strong in their season opener, suffered a knock to the wrist, Liam Livingstone is yet to play a game.
At the top of the order, Shikhar Dhawan has excelled, scoring the majority of the runs for his team. Prabhsimran Singh has been a blessing for the team, which intends to get off to a fast start. Jitesh Sharma seemed quite focused for the visitors, despite the fact that the middle and lower middle order are unreliable. The bowling duo of Arshdeep Singh and Sam Curran has been essential to the franchise from a bowling perspective. Rahul Chahar has kept the intermediate stages under control.
