Punjab Kings (PBKS) will be aiming to get back to winning ways when they take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their next Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match. This huge game will be played at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, New Chandigarh, Punjab on Tuesday evening.
Shreyas Iyer will be under the spotlight in this game. After all, he is a former KKR player and was the captain of the team last season, guiding them to the title. But KKR let him go and chose not to bid for Iyer during the IPL mega auction last year. So, in a sense, Iyer will be itching to perform with the bat and show his former employers that letting him go was a big mistake.
But under Ajinkya Rahane, KKR are doing fine. They have won three out of six matches and could break into the top four with a win in this game. Both teams are in good form and have the players capable of performing at the highest level to win the match for their respective sides.
