Posted on 26th Apr 2021 by rohit kumar

IPL 2021 PBKS vs KKR: Till now the Indian Premier League i.e. the 14th season of IPL was being played at Mumbai's Wankhede and Chennai's Chepak Stadium, but now IPL 2021 will also start at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium. The first match of this season in this stadium is between Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders. Kolkata's team has won only one match this season, while Punjab has won two matches. Both teams are going to face this season for the first time. In such a situation, first of all, know which of the 11 teams with both the teams can get off to hit the ground.

 

If we talk about Punjab Kings then hardly any change under the captaincy of KL Rahul. KL Rahul will avoid tampering with the batting order. However, one change can be seen in the form of Riley Meredith and Zhai Richardson. Even Chris Jordan can be included in the playing XI, as the pitch at this huge stadium in Ahmedabad helps the fast bowlers and the team has two fast bowlers in the form of Mohammed Shami and Arshadeep, but if the death over Specialist Chris Jordan will also be a part of the team, the bowling department will be stronger.

 

On the other hand, talking about Kolkata Knight Riders, KKR has lost even after every effort. The team that made the IPL 2021 debut with the victory has lost four consecutive matches. In this way, captain Eoin Morgan can give Sunil Narine a chance in his last match's playing XI, in place of Shakib Al Hasan. However, if Morgan changes the batting order of the team, then there are more chances of winning, as the team is sending players like Andre Russell and Sunil Narine to bat down. At least Naren should get a chance in the top order.

 

Possible playing XI of Punjab Kings

 

KL Rahul (captain and wicketkeeper), Mayank Agarwal, Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran, Deepak Hooda, Moises Henriques, Shah Rukh Khan, Jhay Richardson, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, and Ravi Bishnoi.

 

Possible playing XI of Kolkata Knight Riders
