coffee_rules Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) First IPL match of the season in Motera/Modi stadium in Ahmedabad. Punjab vs Kolkata PBKS is fresh from a resounding win against MI, taking on bottom placed KKR. You can say it is a match for the bottom-half stakes Pooran has failed so far, hoping for him to come good in IPL finally. If not, he will be grabbed by some other franchise, like Maxwell, Suchith or Gowtham Likely XIs Punjab Kings: 1 KL Rahul (capt & wk), 2 Mayank Agarwal, 3 Chris Gayle, 4 Nicholas Pooran, 5 Deepak Hooda, 6 Shahrukh Khan, 7 Moises Henriques, 8 Jhye Richardson/Chris Jordan, 9 Ravi Bishnoi, 10 Mohammed Shami, 11 Arshdeep Singh Kolkata Knight Riders: 1 Nitish Rana, 2 Shubman Gill, 3 Rahul Tripathi, 4 Eoin Morgan (capt), 5 Andre Russell, 6 Dinesh Karthik (wk), 7 Sunil Narine, 8 Pat Cummins, 9 Shivam Mavi, 10 Prasidh Krishna, 11 Varun Chakravarthy KKR batting is thanda, they need to fix their desi top order. Hopefully Jordan makes it to the PBKS team. He had a good outing in India in the bilateral series recently Sorry, no fancy gifs .

nevada Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Like the RR-KKR match a couple of days ago, the one bright spot to this battle of mediocres is that a minnow will earn points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
