The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have been on a roll since the IPL 2024 started. The Shreyas Iyer led side have won 5 out of the 7 matches played so far and look unstoppable at the moment.

The team has the momentum with them and defeated RCB in their last match to strengthen their position in the points table.

The batting unit is ticking well and have done their part across matches. The KKR spinners have also performed exceptionally well, however, the only chinks in their armour is the form of Mitch Starc. The left-arm pacer became the most expensive player in IPL history, but hasn't lived up to the expectations.

He has leaked runs in all matches, and has picked up just 6 wickets this season, with an economy rate of 11.

With Starc low in confidence, KKR can play a punt by playing Sri Lanka's Dushmantha Chameera against PBKS. The lanky pacer has extra pace which can trouble any batter, and he can turn out to be quite useful for the Kolkata team.

KKR's probable XI Vs PBKS

Phil Salt (wk), Sunil Narine, Shreyas Iyer (c), Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Rinku Singh, Ramandeep Singh, Andre Russell, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakravarthy, Dushmantha Chameera, Suyash Sharma.

Impact Players: Nitish Rana, Venkatesh Iyer, Vaibhav Arora, Mitchell Starc, Anukul Roy.
