Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings Live update – Tata IPL 2022 KKR vs PBKS Live cricket score, 8th IPL Match Live Coverage: Another brilliant over from Rahul Chahar. He gets it to turn and Russell is cautious. They take just two singles in that over.

Preview: Kolkata Knight Riders will square off against Punjab Kings in the 15th season of the Indian Premier League. This fixture will take place at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai where the pitch on offer has been assisting the quick bowlers as well as the stroke makers.

KKR come into this match after a nervy three-wicket loss against Royal Challengers Bangalore. However, Shreyas Iyer and the team will be chuffed with the fact that despite posting a below-par total, they stretched the match to the last over. The batters now need to display some sort of understanding of the conditions on offer and take risks accordingly.

On the other hand, Punjab Kings started their campaign with a thrilling win when they chased down 205 against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the first match. They have arguably the most powerful batting order and it showed in that first match. However, captain Mayank Agarwal would be wanting more from his bowlers and the inclusion of Kagiso Rabada should give the side a massive shot in the arm.
