Punjab Kings (PBKS) finally managed to end their losing streak against the Mumbai Indians (MI) and now they will face the challenge from the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their next fixture. Punjab Kings have moved to the fifth position in the table with two wins in five games and they need to continue the winning momentum.

KL Rahul and Chris Gayle stitched a crucial partnership together and they took Punjab home with mature knocks. In the bowling department, Ravi Bishnoi came into the scene for the first time this season and he had an immediate impact picking two wickets for just 21 runs. Here are 3 stars from Punjab Kings who will be game-changers against Kolkata Knight Riders.

KL Rahul’s strike rate issues became a blessing in disguise for the Punjab Kings in a venue like Chennai where runs are hard to come and it is not easy for a new batsman to start striking from the first ball. He guided the team home in a low-scoring game staying not out at 60 from 52 deliveries.

He hit three sixes and three fours in the game and broke the shackles with odd boundaries when the run rate looked like creeping up. He got the singles and was ready to keep rotating strike. He captained the team really well and it was a tough decision to bowl after winning the toss, but in the end, it reaped rewards for the franchise. He will be one of the game-changers for the Punjab Kings against the Kolkata Knight Riders.
