Match 42 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings is expected to paint a clear picture of the playoffs. In the KKR vs PBKS game at the Eden Gardens on April 26, 2024, Punjab will be desperate to get back into winning ways.
It’s the story of their last season in 2023 too. They began on a positive note with two consecutive victories but suddenly went on to lose four of the next six games. Even towards the end of the 16th edition of the IPL, they faced defeat in four of their last five games to end at number eight.
In the same rhythm, PBKS began this season with the win over Delhi Capitals, but couldn’t keep their momentum going. All of their last four defeats in this IPL 2024 came in the last over of the game, which spoke about their lack of expertise in holding their nerve in crunch moments.
Kolkata, on the flip of the coin, managed to develop their performance from the last season. There was a point when they lost six of their first nine games, to almost get knocked out of the competition. But in his season, they have different players standing on various occasions. Sunil Narine and Andre Russell have been consistent performers.
Phil Salt and Angkrish Raghuvanshi have batted beautifully in a few of the encounters. Venkatesh Iyer and Rinku Singh have chipped in whenever required. The most constant player with the ball in hand for them has been Harshit Rana.
