Andre Russell and Rinku Singh were the game’s standout performers. A match-winning boundary was part of Russell’s innings as he hit 42 unanswered points off of 23 while Rinku scored 21 unanswered points off of 10 balls.

Prior to that, Shikhar Dhawan’s fifty-plus, followed by significant cameos from Harpreet Brar and Shahrukh Khan, helped Punjab Kings reach 179 for 7 in 20 overs. Shahrukh hit 21 not out off of 8 while Brar hit 17 not out of 9. Dhawan scored 57 runs in 47 balls. The best bowlers for KKR were Harshit Rana (2 for 33) and Varun Chakravarthy (3 for 26). Shikhar Dhawan, the captain of PBKS, called the toss and chose to bat.

Along with Jason Roy’s 38 in 24 balls and Nitish Rana’s 51 off 38 balls, the two-time IPL champions scored 182/5 in response to Punjab’s 179/7.

Gurbaz failed to make an impression with the bat today, but the Kolkata Knight Riders captain led his team from the front with a leader’s knock, giving KKR another steady start.

The penultimate over, which Russell bowled against Sam Curran, featured three sixes from him, resulting in a tense conclusion.

The Caribbean cricketer attempted to hit a boundary in the last over against Arshdeep, who bowled a variety of good lines and lengths, but was run out on the non-striker’s end on the penultimate ball of the innings.

The 25-year-old got on strike and scored the winning runs, getting a boundary on the final ball. Rinku Singh had made a life-threatening run that was not successful.
