IPL 2021, PBKS vs KKR, 21st Match Match Preview:
Punjab Kings batting is slowly getting back its rhythm. The top 3 - KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, and Chris Gayle - will be important for Punjab to get to a good total. Nicholas Pooran hasn't been among runs but he still one of the best T20 batters currently and should be backed to play at the number 4 position.
Ravi Bishnoi's addition to the bowling lineup has been advantageous to the team. PBKS is unlikely to change its winning combination from the last match.
Kolkata Knight Riders batting lineup is having a horror season so far. Nitish Rana had a good start in the tournament but in the last two-three games, he is failing to convert his starts. Rahul Tripathi is another batsman who has looked good but failing to make a match-winning impact.
Shakib Al Hasan might get back into the playing XI replacing Sunil Narine, who hasn't had much of an impact so far.
Kolkata Knight Riders has dominated Punjab Kings in the past. However, KKR isn't looking a strong team this season which means PBKS has a good chance to win against them in this contest.
