Squad Comparison for Punjab Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders   

Punjab Kings

Although the Punjab Kings had a talented team for the IPL 2022 season, they ultimately missed the semifinals after winning only seven of their 14 games. The team hasn’t changed much from last year, but Sam Curran’s return has made a significant contribution. 

In reality, the Punjab Kings’ starting lineup could include Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, and Kagiso Rabada with Bhanuka Rajapaksa or Matthew Short as the fourth international player. There is no doubt that Jonny Bairstow’s exclusion from the IPL 2023 is a significant setback. 

Additionally, PBKS has a respectable group of Indian athletes. Shikhar Dhawan will serve as the team’s skipper and their primary batter, with Arshdeep Singh now serving as India’s go-to T20 international player. If anything, an Indian top-order batter is a tad lacking. 

Jitesh Sharma was excellent with the bat and as a wicketkeeper, but for Punjab Kings to be a batting power, Shahrukh Khan or Harpreet Singh Bhatia will need to step up their game. The fact that some of PBKS’s key players appear to be in a downward trend may be cause for worry for the team and something to keep in mind as bettors. 

Rahul Chahar has struggled since his initial success in the IPL, Shikhar Dhawan is approaching the end of his career, and the young people they invested in haven’t really made a difference so far. a strong core of international players lacking key Indian players.

Punjab Kings Playing XI

Shikhar Dhawan (c), Bhanuka Rajapaksa (wk), Harpreet Singh, Sam Curran, Sikandar Raza, Shahrukh Khan, Harpreet Brar, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh, Nathan Ellis, Raj Bawa

Kolkata Knight Riders  

Shreyas Iyer won’t be accessible for the majority of the IPL 2023 season, which dealt KKR a severe blow in the months leading up to the tournament. (perhaps all of it). That eliminates their finest batter, who is the only one for whom they really have a backup. In reality, Iyer’s absence may require KKR to alter the composition of their entire team. 

Right now, Sunil Narine, Venkatesh Iyer, and Andre Russell appear to be set in the starting eleven. Under normal conditions, we believe KKR would have selected one foreign bowler (likely Ferguson) and another foreign all-rounder. (Shakib Al Hasan or David Wiese). 

However, they might now be required to start both all-rounders rather than the sole bowler. They will have more depth both in the bowling and batting areas as a result. For KKR, the remaining vacancies will be filled by N Jagadeesan, Shardul Thakur, Nitish Rana, Umesh Yadav, and Varun Chakravarthy. 

This lineup does not fully persuade us. Yes, they have outstanding foreign athletes who can win matches, but the Indian contingent feels stale. Almost all of the Indian players for KKR have played and been average for the bulk of their IPL careers. It would be foolish to count on that changing. 

We expect KKR to win some games because it is sure to produce some game-winning efforts down the road, but we also expect the IPL 2023 to be very difficult for it.

N Jagadeesan (wk), Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Nitish Rana (c), Rinku Singh, Venkatesh Iyer, Andre Russell, Shardul Thakur, Tim Southee, Umesh Yadav, Lockie Ferguson, Varun Chakravarthy

Punjab Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders Match Prediction
