PBKS looking strong this season! That win against CSK in Chennai was impressive. Shreyas Iyer's captaincy seems to be working well. Hoping for another high-scoring thriller.

Honestly, KKR's team selection has been confusing. So much talent on paper but zero coordination on the field. Management needs to back the right players instead of constant chopping and changing.

Match at 7:30 PM IST is perfect timing! Will watch with family after dinner. JioStar stream is usually reliable. Hoping Rinku Singh gets a big score for KKR 🤞

As a neutral fan, this should be a good contest. PBKS has the momentum but KKR at home is always dangerous. The Narine vs Chahal battle in the middle overs will be key.

PBKS squad looks very balanced this year. Good mix of Indian youngsters and experienced overseas players. Arshdeep Singh bowling at the death against power-hitters like Rinku will be exciting!
