KKR vs PBKS IPL 2024: Predicting Top 3 Batsmen who will score most runs in today’s IPL match

Today’s IPL match (26 April) features Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) against Punjab Kings (PBKS). The match, number 42 of the season, will take place at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, starting at 7:30 PM IST.

KKR, having won 5 out of 7 matches, are at number 2 on the points table at the moment. PBKS, on the other hand, have won 2 of their 8 matches and are sitting at number 9 on the points table.

With Mitchell Starc struggling to make a significant impact for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the IPL, the team has relied heavily on their batting, especially the top-order players like Sunil Narine, Phil Salt, Andre Russell, and captain Shreyas Iyer, who have all displayed remarkable strike rates.

Meanwhile, PBKS, struggling with inconsistent performances from key players like Prabhsimran Singh and Jonny Bairstow, will look to capitalise on KKR’s bowling vulnerabilities.

Both teams have relied on their uncapped players, particularly Ashutosh and Shashank for PBKS, to provide crucial contributions. PBKS will also hope for the return of their regular skipper, Shikhar Dhawan, to boost team morale after a string of losses.

Let’s take a look at the Top 3 Batsmen who will score the most runs in today’s IPL match.

1. Shikhar Dhawan

2. Philip Salt

3. Shreyas Iyer

Andre Russell is a different beast in The Deathovers. He had scored 408 runs in 12 innings against PBKS. He is one of the best batsmen to watch out for if he gets at least 20-30 balls to face.

Jonny Bairstow has a tremendous record against KKR and scored 215 runs in just 5 matches against them.
