Things are still a little tight for KKR as Pat Cummins and Aaron Finch are still not available for selection as the Pakistan tour is still underway.
Captain Shreyas Iyer is struggling a bit with only 33 runs so far but he has been in good form lately and can bounce back any time soon. Umesh Yadav is in good touch currently, picking 4 wickets in 2 matches.

Punjab Kings
Punjab Kings is one of the franchises who has never won an IPL title and they would want to clinch this one this season with this strong squad. They won the first match effortlessly without the participation of two key players - Jonny Bairstow and Kagiso Rabada.
Punjab Kings has one of the best revamped squads after the auction. Batting and bowling, both the line-ups look strong and in-form.
All rounder Odean Smith batted brilliantly, scoring 25 runs off just 8 deliveries but yet to perform with the ball as well.
