Arshdeep Singh was the wrecker in chief where he took 3 scalps & gave away 19 runs in his 3-over spell. PBKS bowlers made sure that they don’t give ample room to the batters & bowled impeccable lines and lengths. Skipper Shikhar Dhawan marshalled his troops smartly where he stood behind his bowlers.

Skipper Nitish Rana would be disappointed with their bowlers’ performance where the star players like Southee & Narine were taken to the cleaners. Skipper Shikhar Dhawan & Bhanuka Rajapaksa unleashed the attack on the KKR bowlers. The cameo of Sam Curran of 26 runs in 17 balls proved to be effective.

KKR perhaps need to change their batting combination where Nitish Rana should bat at the No.3 position where he has the knack of playing long & effective innings. It won’t be wrong to say that the team are missing the service of Shreyas Iyer who used to provide the stability in the middle overs.

It's not rain but our domestic batters who have cost KKR the match. I know it's just the start but how will things change when these players bat so irresponsibly. And we have tougher games ahead! God seriously bless @KKRiders #IPL2023 https://t.co/1A8bYAROJQ

In the 2023 IPL match between #KKRvsPBKS, KKR once again made history with a spectacular win against PBKS. Fans can't get enough of the amazing performances from both teams, making it a match to remember for years to come Punjab beat Kolkata by 7 runs according to the DL Method

It was a mastermind plan to rush spinners through the over by shikhar dhawan, he knew that rain is in the air. That's why pbks won the game by dls. #IPL2023 #KKRvsPBKS #ShikharDhawan

7 run-result for #PBKS doesn't highlight the struggle of #KKR for most of the game.. #IPL2023 #IPl #PBKSvsKKR

Wondering as there was a light issue delaying the start of KKR's innings, why aren't the points shared rather than awarding the match to PBKS due to DLS. Looks unfair to me. #IPL2023 #IPLonStar #ShorOn #PBKSvKKR

Mere hisab se KKR jeet jati thi yaar agar barish nahi gira hota tho
