PSBK vs KKR Balance of the teams

Kolkata Knight Riders: Kolkata suffered a major setback when their captain, Shreyas Iyer, was ruled out due to injury, and Nitish Rana was named the new KKR captain for the 2023 season.  

KKR will most likely open with Venkatesh Iyer and Litton Das, followed by Nitish Rana, who will bat at one down, and Mandeep-Singh and Andre Russell, who will handle the middle-order batting. Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy will handle the spin bowling for the team. Shardul Thakur and Umesh Yadav, on the other hand, will lead his team’s pace attack.

Punjab Kings: The Punjab Kings (PBKS) would be anxious to break their long drought and win the Indian Premier League for the first time in their history. Given their track record, it is not surprising that the Punjab Kings have failed to qualify for the playoffs in the last few IPL seasons. As a result, they must now strengthen their game in both the batting and bowling areas. Punjab Kings will begin their IPL 2023 campaign against Kolkata Knight Riders, led by new skipper Shikhar Dhawan.
