Strength & Weakness of PBKS & KKR
Punjab Kings |
|
The PBKS team consists of powerful hitters like Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, Shahrukh Khan and Jitesh Sharma who have healthy strike rates |
PBKS have a powerful top order, but their middle order is not very deep and lacks experience. |
The strength of the Punjab Kings lies in their domestic players, who are in good form. Prabhsimran Singh has been impressive in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (61-ball knock of 119 runs). Jitesh was offered a wk-batsman spot in the Indian National side. Arshdeep has shown his worth by playing for India in the World Cup as he took seven wickets in three matches. |
The team doesn’t have experienced players except for Shikhar Dhawan. Liam Livingstone, Matthew Short, and Sam Curran are all promising youngsters, while Sikandar Raza will be embarking on his first IPL season. |
The team has a great pace bowling duo- Arshdeep Singh and Kagiso Rabada, who are a threat to any batter they may face and can easily sway the match in their team's favor on any given day. |
PBKS doesn’t have experienced spinners at the moment, apart from Rahul Chahar. |
PBKS highest total is 232/2 against Royal Challengers Bangalore |
PBKS lowest total is 73 against Rising Pune Supergiants |
Kolkata Knight Riders |
|
Strength |
Weakness |
Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine are perfect spin-duo for KKR. The spin department is an advantage for KKR, and no other team has such a strong pair in this edition. They will capitalize on the main strength in all the league games. One more added advantage is that Narine is a dangerous batsman and will look to score some crucial runs for the side. |
Dinesh Karthik was the second most successful captain for KKR. However, now he will play in the opposition for RCB. Lack of a good wicket-keeper can hurt the team’s performance. |
Shreyas Iyer is in terrific form and will bring the performance to this edition. Apart from skipper duties, he will definitely look to contribute more as a batsman. |
Other than Pat Cummins, KKR doesn’t have many bowling options in the powerplay overs. They need someone who can restrict the opponent batters with their strict line and lengths. In this segment, they are lacking very much. |
The new addition of the foreign player, Alex Hales, can be a trump card for KKR. |
The top order batting line of KKR remains a concern. Shreyas Iyer is likely to miss the entire IPL due to back injury which also leaves KKR without a good batter. |
KKR highest team total is 137/9 against Delhi Capitals |
KKR Lowest team total is 84/8 against Royal Challengers Bangalore |
