IPL 2023: PBKS vs KKR Match 2 Preview

The second encounter of the IPL 2023 will pit Punjab Kings against Kolkata Knight Riders as the first game of the duel on Saturday. Punjab Kings, who are vying for their first-ever IPL championship, have made major roster adjustments for this year. In contrast, Kolkata Knight Riders have chosen Nitish Rana as their captain in place of the injured Shreyas Iyer.

PBKS came in sixth, followed closely by KKR in seventh. Punjab hasn’t made the semifinals in almost ten years, while Kolkata has had championship aspirations since the same year, 2014. The squad combination for either or both sides must be perfected right away if they want to have a good season, as switching things up early in the season is never recommended.

Captain Pick: A Russel

Vice Captain Picks: S Curran

IPL 2023: PBKS vs KKR Dream11 Top 3 Fantasy Picks for Match 1

1. S Dhawan – Shikhar Dhawan is essential to the domestic nucleus of PBKS, which lacks expertise. He has made 810 runs at an average of 28.93 and a strike rate of 117.22 in 29 games against KKR. However, he has scored five 20+ scores against them in his last seven games: 97*, 26, 6, 46, 24, 36, and 16. He is the second-highest run-scorer in the tournament and is one of the two batters who have made over 6000 runs.

2. N Rana – Since joining the KKR team in 2018, he has amassed 1744 runs in 70 games, averaging 27.68 and striking out at a rate of 136.61. He scored 361 runs at a strike rate of 143.82 last season, placing him second among KKR’s run scorers. In Shreyas Iyer’s absence, Rana will have a crucial part to perform for KKR.

3. A Russel – The well-known franchise star Andre Russell is a fierce rival on the field. With 17 wickets, he ended the previous season as KKR’s top wicket taker. He also made 335 runs at an average of 37.22.
