IPL 2025: PBKS vs KKR – Player Battles to Watch Out For

Match: Punjab Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders
Date: April 15th, 2025
Time: 7:30 PM IST
Venue: Mullanpur Stadium, Chandigarh

Key Player Fights

Shreyas Iyer vs. Varun Chakravarthy
Iyer is good against spin, but Varun's mystery deliveries might test his patience and footwork during the middle overs.

Glenn Maxwell vs. Moeen Ali
All-Aussie-English battle Maxwell's aggressive nature might come up against Moeen's gentle spin and control.

Prabhsimran Singh vs. Vaibhav Arora
In-form Prabhsimran is a fan of pace on the bat. Arora's early swing might prove significant in the powerplay.

Andre Russell vs. Arshdeep Singh
Russell's late-order batting is the stuff of legend. Arshdeep's ace yorkers will look to silence him.

Sunil Narine vs. Yuzvendra Chahal
Two experienced veterans, Narine's top-order counterattack could test Chahal's leg-spin.
