Here we look at the 3 Players Who Could Pick the Most Wickets Between PBKS and KKR

  1. Arshdeep Singh

Arshdeep Singh had a bad outing for Punjab Kings in the previous match against Mumbai Indians. He was taken for the cleaners giving away 66 runs from his 3.5 overs and took only 1 wicket.

He will be looking for a better performance against Kolkata Knight Riders in tomorrow’s match. His role is to pick wickets and stem the flow of runs.

If Punjab Kings is to register a win, Arshdeep Singh has to play a major role in picking wickets and make life tough for KKR batters.

  1. Varun Chakvarthy

Varun Chakvarthy had a brilliant outing for Kolkata Knight Riders in the previous match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. He has lots of variations in his Armory and keeps life tough for opponent batters.

During the previous match against SRH, he was handed the last over and defended 9 runs picking the wicket of Abdul Samad and was named the player of the match for his match-winning spell.

He would be eager to repeat his performance against Punjab Kings at home and keep KKR’s hopes alive of reaching the playoff stage alive.

  1. Nathan Ellis

Nathan Ellis was brilliant with bowling against Mumbai Indians. He came as a replacement for Kagiso Rabada in the playing XI and did a grand job picking up 2 wickets giving away 34 runs in his 4 overs.

With all PBKS bowlers going for runs, Ellis made life tough for MI batters and did not allow them to score runs easily. He would be looking for another brilliant performance if included in the playing XI.

He would be eager to showcase his skills and demonstrate his bowling efforts against the KKR batting line-up that can create enough pressure with explosive batting.
