The Punjab Kings will be locking horns with the Kolkata Knight Riders in the second match of the Indian Premier league 2023. The match will be played at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Chandigarh starting at 3.30 PM IST. 
 
The Panjab kings have announced a new captain Shikhar Dhawan for this season of the Indian Premier League. The Kolkata Knight Riders have announced Nitish Rana as their captain for the new season of the Indian Premier League and this move has been made due to the injury of their regular captain Shreyas Iyer. 

This match between the two teams is going to be  an interesting clash as both  the teams having solid bowlers and batsmen to flaunt. There is very less to choose from as both sides have the promise and appropriate resources to excel in the game. For example the Punjab kings captain Shikhar Dhawan has been a top-notch performer in the IPL. Whenever he plays in the IPL he scores like a pro, bagging more than 600 runs in the last IPL season. A magnificent  player, when he gets going there is no looking back. 

The Kolkata Knight Riders too have a few gems to dazzle. The bowling all-rounder Andre Russell is an unadulterated authority when it comes to batting. A  bowler killer, he can muscle the ball away with the bat and hit sixes for fun. A destructive hitter of a cricket ball, he sends the ball a long way into the stands. 

The second player of the Kolkata knight riders to watch out for  is Sunil Narine. This spin wizard is  a very difficult prospect for any batsman to pick his variations out of the hand. He can strike the ball hard with the bat over mid-wicket and when he has the ball in his hand he can change the course of the match single-handedly. Sunil Narine is a very important cog in Kolkata knight riders wheel and has the capacity to hold the team together. 

So get ready for another  delicious encounter between the top two IPL teams. Every penny is going to be worth its value.
