PBKS vs KKR IPL 2021 Match 21: Possible Playing 11 of Punjab Kings

PBKS Playing 11: Ahmedabad will host its first match of IPL 2021 when Punjab Kings take on Kolkata Knight Riders here on Monday. After losing three games in a row, Punjab Kings fought back strongly and defeated a more fancied Mumbai Indians. KKR has been Punjab’s nemesis in the IPL as they have often struggled to beat them. In 27 matches played between these sides, Kolkata lead Punjab 18:9. Last season, both teams won a game against each other. Punjab will be looking to carry the momentum here from the last match.

All players are available for selection for Punjab Kings. Since the pitch will be fresh, Punjab might play Jhye Richardson in place of Fabian Allen. Rest of the combination is expected to be the same.

PBKS Playing 11 (likely)

KL Rahul (C) (wk)
M Agarwal
C Gayle
D Hooda
N Pooran
Shahrukh Khan
M Henriques
F Allen
M Shami
R Bishnoi
A Singh

Rahul has been scoring runs consistently as always but Gayle’s innings from the last match will give the Kings a huge relief. Nicholas Pooran’s form is a worry though and Punjab will hope him to fire. Bowling has looked good in Chennai’s slow pitches and if it is similar in Ahmedabad, Punjab will relish bowling there. Traditionally, Motera has been good for spinners and Ravi Bishnoi can play a crucial part here.
