IPL 2023 PBKS vs KKR: Date, Time, Venue, Head-To-Head Record, Probable Playing 11, Squads, And Prediction For Second Match Of The Tournament. The IPL 2023 is quickly approaching, and fans can’t wait to watch their favourite teams in action. On March 31, 2023, CSK and GT will play in the IPL’s inaugural game at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.
On April 1, 2023, in the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, Mohali, we will witness Shikhara Dhawan-led Punjab Kings (PBKS) take on Nitish Rana-led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), which is one of the most anticipated matchups. Match will start at 3.30 PM.
Last year’s IPL season for KKR was non-linear and underwhelming. The team, which was once hailed as one of the most impressive, was unable to turn in performances good enough to advance to the IPL 2022 playoffs. KKR’s performance in the most recent IPL was a complete disaster, but the team would ideally like to see their players excel in the upcoming IPL 2023.

Nonetheless, Punjab Kings’ last season was quite well matched, with them winning 7 games and losing 7, but they were unable to advance to the play-offs. Shikar Dhawan, the team’s captain last year, was their leading run scorer while Kagiso Rabada, a South African pacer, was their leading wicket-taker.

Full Squad And Probable Playing 11 of PKBS
Punjab Kings has never claimed an IPL championship. They did not make the playoffs the previous season either. They aimed for a stronger show this season and purchased some strong players during the auction.
PKBS Squad For IPL 2023: Shikhar Dhawan, Shahrukh Khan, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Jonny Bairstow, Prabhsimran Singh, Jitesh Sharma, Raj Bawa, Rishi Dhawan, Liam Livingstone, Kagiso Rabada, Arshdeep Singh, Baltej Singh, Atharva Taide, Rahul Chahar, Harpreet Brar, Nathan Ellis, Harpreet Singh Bhatia, Vidwath Kaverappa, Sam Curran, Sikandar Raza, Mohit Rathee and Shivam Singh, Matthew Short.
Shikhar Dhawan will serve as the captain of the Punjab Kings in IPL 2023 and guide the group throughout the competition. He ought to start for the group as well. With a nice balance of experienced players and inexperienced players, PKBS may be able to win their maiden IPL trophy. This is how their hypothetical game 11 may appear.
The ideal playing 11 for the Punjab Kings in the IPL 2023 is discussed here.

Predictions for KKR vs PKBS
Cricket, as they say, is a game of uncertainty. It is still too early to predict a winner between PKBS and KKR because both teams have very strong players. While KKR has attacking players like Andre Russell and Nitish Rana, PKBS has Sam Curran, Shikhar Dhawan.
In contrast to PKBS’s experienced Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan, KKR has one of the best spinners in the world in Sunil Narine. As of now, all we can say is to wait until April 1st and enjoy the game.
