KKR vs PBKS IPL 2024 Playing 11: Kolkata Knight Riders are up against Punjab Kings in Match 42 of IPL 2024 on Friday (April 26) at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
KKR are currently placed 2nd in the points table with 10 points in seven matches. On the other hand, PBKS are 9th with just 4 points in eight matches. The Kings are currently in deep trouble and need to win all of their next matches to be in the playoff race.

Kolkata Knight Riders pulled off a thrilling victory over RCB in the last match. They don't have any injury issues apart from Nitish Rana, who is still struggling and may take some time to return. But KKR can make a couple of changes for this match. Mitchell Starc, who was poor again, can be replaced with either of Dushmantha Chameera or any other overseas players. Suyash Sharma may also face the axe and Vaibhav Arora can come into the side.
The Punjab Kings lost at the hands of GT in the last match. Shikhar Dhawan is likely to be sidelined for the upcoming match and Sam Curran is set to lead the side. Punjab may drop Rilee Rossouw and Jonny Bairstow can come into the side. They have been so close to winning in many matches but have failed to get over the line. Harpreet Bhatia was used as an Impact Player in the last match, which may see a change in this one as Atharva Taide can come in.
