No Changes At The Top
PBKS are playing with two uncapped stars and they are shining bright in the tournament. Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh are on a roll and have done well for the PBSK. Thus the Punjab Kings won’t top be making any changes in their opening pair.

No Place For Glenn Maxwell In The Side?
One area where Punjab Kings are struggling is with Glenn Maxwell‘s form. Notably, the Australia star batter is out of touch and is struggling to even reach double-figures. There are talks of Maxwell’s ouster from the team, but it is unlikely as Glenn brings a lot more to the table.
Notably, Maxwell also contributes with the ball and is great in the field as well. Thus. he will likely feature against KKR. Lets look at Maxwell’s stats so far.

Changes In The Bowling Line-Up? Lockie Ferguson To Miss Out?
In the bowling unit, PBKS don’t have much to change, but they will be forced to make a change as Lockie Ferguson suffered an injury in PBKS’ last match against SRH. At present, there is no update on Ferguson’s injury, but the Kiwi seamer is unlikely to return for KKR match.
Thus, PBKS might bring in Xavier Bartlett for the KKR. Besides Bartlett, no other changes are expected.
PBKS’s Probable XI vs KKR
Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh, Shreyas Iyer, Nehal Wadhera, Glenn Maxwell, Shashank Singh, Marcus Stoinis, Marco Jansen, Xavier Bartlett, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh
Impact Player: Yash Thakur/ Priyansh Arya
