The KKR vs KXIP Dotball Match Preview
When a match is in the offing, all the talk should be around the game in the build-up. However, the controversial events of Kings XI Punjab vs Rajasthan Royals match have been the talk of the town. R Ashwin, the captain of Kings XI Punjab, is caught in a storm after ‘mankading’ Joss Buttler of Rajasthan Royals.
The action has drawn great criticism and even support from across the world. As a result, an enhanced focus and scrutiny will be around the spin bowler in the match.
Meanwhile, Kolkata Knight Riders would be keen to benefit from the controversy surrounding their opponents. They should also make the best use of their home conditions to get a win here. Kolkata Knight Riders looked dead and out in their opening game against Sunrisers Hyderabad, but a heroic knock by Andre Russell saved the day for them. The home fans will expect more of the same in tomorrow’s match.
Kings XI Punjab, on the other hand, have to aim to put the events of the last match behind them and get ready for what will be a tough game. Even though it is early into the tournament, the team that loses the game will be gutted to lose momentum.
