Punjab Kings (PBKS) will be facing Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in match 42 of IPL 2024. The match will be played at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on 26th April, Friday.
Punjab Kings are at the bottom of the points table with only 2 wins from 8 matches. They lost their last match to GT by 3 wickets.
Kolkata Knight Riders are in the top 4 of the points table, having won 5 of their first 7 matches. They won their last match against RCB by 1 run.
Shikhar Dhawan is Expected to Make a Comeback
PBKS captain Shikhar Dhawan is expected to be fit and available for the match against KKR. Shikhar could replace Jitesh Sharma in the XI.
Instead of Jitesh, Prabhsimran Singh can keep wickets and open with Shikhar while Sam Curran will return to the middle order.
Sikandar Raza to Replace Rilee Rossouw:
Rilee Rossouw replaced Jonny Bairstow, but his returns in the last two matches have been disappointing, and he could be dropped for Sikandar Raza.
Raza will provide another spin bowling option to the team, and mainly his batting will be helpful for the team.

PBKS is having a poor season as a team, but the performances of Harpreet Brar and Harshal Patel have been impressive. Brar scored 29* runs off 12 deliveries against GT in the last match and took the team to a fighting total of 142 runs.
Harshal Patel is in the leading wicket-takers list. This season he has taken 13 wickets at an average of 21 in 8 matches.
