3 KKR Players Who Can Win The Man Of The Match Award:

Shubman Gill:

Shubman Gill has been a star in the making for the Kolkata Knight Riders as he has had some good starts and has looked in really good touch in the UAE phase of IPL 2021. He hasn’t had the big scores under his belt to show off but does look like getting a big one sooner or later.

Gill has always been portrayed as a player who has all the potential and he played an important part in the previous game against Delhi Capitals in a low and tricky run chase. He scored 30 off 33 balls hitting one four and two sixes in the innings and he hasn’t been afraid to take on the bowling as well. He will be looking to make a big score against the Punjab Kings.

Rahul Tripathi:

Rahul Tripathi has been the most impressive batsman from the KKR lineup in the UAE phase of IPL 2021 and he has enjoyed the role at the number three position. The right-hander has already amassed 315 runs in 11 games and he has been one of the reasons for the turnaround from KKR in the second half of IPL 2021.

Tripathi has taken on the fast bowlers in the powerplay and has been playing the anchor role to perfection so far in the middle overs. His ability to play the spinners well has added a different dimension to his game and he will be one of the players to watch out in the game against Punjab.

Sunil Narine:

Sunil Narine is always one of the key players on any side he plays with his ability to contribute with both bat and ball and the mystery has already won games on his own for the KKR side. Narine was the man of the match in the previous game against the Delhi Capitals.

He picked up two wickets with the ball and also added 21 runs with the bat down the order which made sure that KKR crossed the line comfortably in the end. He has filled in the role of Andre Russell in the side as the all-rounder and he will be up for the challenge against Punjab Kings.
