It is going to be the first meeting between KKR and PBKS this season and it remains to be seen which team uses their weapons properly to come out on top in the match.

However, KKR hold a slight edge over PBKS owing to their current form. As of now, KKR are second on the league stage points table with 5 wins and 2 defeats, collecting 10 points.

On the other hand, PBKS are ninth on the table with 2 wins and 6 defeats, garnering 4 points. Let’s now take a look at the four batsmen who can score the most runs in Match 42 of the competition.

KKR vs PBKS IPL 2024: Who Will Score Most Runs?

1. Sunil Narine: It is worth noting that Sunil Narine is the leading run-scorer for the Knight Riders this season. He has been mainly responsible for providing electrifying starts to the team when it matters the most. Having played 7 games so far, he scored 286 runs at an average of 40.86 and a strike rate of 176.54, laced with a century and a fifty.

2. Sam Curran: Sam Curran has been leading PBKS in the absence of Shikhar Dhawan who missed the last three games due to a shoulder injury. Dhawan who has been on the road to recovery is expected to miss the upcoming match against KKR. Sam Curran who scored 152 runs including a fifty this season will be looking forward to leading the batting attack from the front.

3. Rinku Singh: It has really been a huge disappointment for Rinku Singh this season as things haven’t turned out well for him. Nevertheless, he is just one good inning away from returning back to his best. The left-hander who is yet to score a fifty so far in the ongoing season will be raring to make a bold statement with the bat in the upcoming game.

4. Shashank Singh: Whenever PBKS’ top-order has gone through major mishap this season, Shashank Singh has often stepped up and delivered the goods. The right-handed batsman who scored 195 runs in 8 games at an average of 48.75 including a half-century will be looking forward to making a telling impact with the bat.
