Punjab Kings (PBKS) will be up against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in match 31 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) season on Tuesday, April 15. PBKS is placed sixth on the points table, while KKR is placed one place above them. However, one thing is common between these two sides: lacking consistency.
With the first half of the IPL 2025 almost nearing its end, both PBKS & KKR would love to string more wins frequently. This game is crucial for both teams, as a win here tonight will give momentum to either of the sides to drive the tournament ahead. The pressure will be more on PBKS, as, under head coach Ricky Ponting and skipper Shreyas Iyer, the management is hoping to break a decade-long playoff jinx.
