<h2>KKR vs PBKS IPL 2022 Match 8 - Preview:</h2>



The Shreyas Iyer-led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will be playing its third match of the season in a very short period. KKR has earlier, in the IPL 2022, fought battles against CSK and RCB, now they will be up against Mayank Agarwal-led Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the Wankhede Stadium.



Meanwhile, Punjab Kings (PBKS) will come up after defeating Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in its first match. PBKS were simply outstanding with the bat. The batters were at their absolute best against the RCB bowlers.



The likes of Mayank Agarwal, Shikhar Dhawan, Bhanuka Rajpaksha, Liam Livingstone, Odean Smith and Shahrukh Khan all contributed to the team?s success against RCB. The biggest positive for the franchise would be the good form of Odean Smith and Bhanuka Rajapaksa.



However, their bowling would be an issue. The bowlers did several loose deliveries to let the opposition open their arms. Punjab Kings (PBKS) leaked a lot of runs owing to which RCB managed to score 205 runs in 20 overs.

<h2>KKR vs PBKS IPL 2022 Match 8 - Pitch Report:</h2>



The surfaces used in the Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 until now have highly aided the batters. Wankhede Stadium will abide by the same and will assist the batters, however, early on there will be a bit of movement through the air. With a decent bounce off the surface, batting would eventually become easier. Another high scoring fixture is expected from the two sides. Moreover, the dew factor will play a huge role in the match.?

The Kolkata Knight Riders will be up against the Punjab Kings in match 8 of the IPL 2022 at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai tomorrow. Both the sides had a wonderful winnings start to their campaigns respectively however the Knights had to suffer a closely contested defeat against the Royal Challengers Bangalore in their second match.&nbsp;



Both the sides have had several close encounters in the earlier seasons of the IPL making their rivalry a very classical and intense one without a doubt. Hence the supporters of both the sides and supporters of neither will be hoping to witness another cracker of a match when these sides meet each other in tomorrow's match.



<h2>KKR vs PBKS: Match Details</h2>



<ul><li>Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings, Match 8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>Venue: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai</li><li>Date &amp;Time: April 1st at 7:30 PM IST</li></ul>



<h2>Kolkata Knight Riders: Analysis</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/04/KKR-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-87880" /><figcaption>Kolkata Knight Riders</figcaption></figure>



Gameplan: The knights in spite of being in a comfortable position in the points table with a win and a loss each in their first two games have some questions unanswered especially after their tough loss against Bangalore. A major concern for them will their batsmen failing to resist the opposition spinners and throwing away the wickets at just the wrong time during the innings. A clear example of ghe above is the fact that RCB spinner Wanindu Hasaranga managed to produce figures of 4/20 in 4 overs against them in their last match.&nbsp;



Their bowling line up however has been a total contrast to the batters so far with some brilliant performances especially the character which they showed while defending a low total of 128 vs the Royal challengers in last game. Thus all KKR will be looking for tomorrow is a much improved batting show from their batsman so that they bag another crucial 2 points and go top of the table.



Probable Playing XI:- Ajinkya Rahane, Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana, Shreyas Iyer (c), Sam Billings, Sheldon Jackson (wk), Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Tim Southee, Umesh Yadav, Varun Chakaravarthy.



<h2>Punjab Kings: Analysis</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/04/e0b6d849a7b8227ef537f5f2089ee06c_original-1024x576.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-87881" /><figcaption>Punjab Kings</figcaption></figure>



Gameplan: Punjab so far will definitely be a side that is pleased with everything that's happened to them this season especially after their emphatic win against the Royal Challengers Bangalore in their first game. Their chasing down a mammoth total of 205 was indeed a big surprise to everybody. The batsman have shown brilliant presence of mind on various situations and all the batsmen in the batting order have fitted into the slots that've been provided to them by the management and coaching staff.&nbsp;



Their brilliant successful chase against a tough bowling line up as that of RCB that included quality bowlers like Siraj and Hasaranga proves the fact that they've displayed some real good performance and also a great deal of improvement as compared to the earlier seasons where they failed to kick start their campaign properly. The bowling department however needs to find a bit of rhythm especially after being hammered away pretty badly by a certain Faf Du Plessis in the earlier stages of the innings.&nbsp;



The ability to scalp early wickets and stop the quick flow of runs is something which Punjab will definitely be looking for from their bowlers in tomorrow's match. Only then can they guarantee themselves of another 2 points and a confirmed place at the top of the table tomorrow.&nbsp;



Probable Playing XI:- Mayank Agarwal (c), Shikhar Dhawan, Liam Livingstone, Bhanuka Rajapaksa (wk), Shahrukh Khan, Odean Smith, Raj Bawa, Arshdeep Singh, Harpreet Brar, Sandeep Sharma, Rahul Chahar.



<h2>Probable Top performers</h2>



Probable best batsman of the match - Mayank Aggarwal



The Punjab Kings batsman and also the newly appointed batsman after failing to convert a good enough start in the first match against RCB will be looking to compensate for it in tomorrow's match against the Knight Riders in another important match for his team. Aggarwal's abilities with the bat especially while opening the batting is no new to the IPL fans especially after his brilliant century of barely 47 balls against the Rajasthan Royals in 2020 IPL.&nbsp;



An in form Mayank Aggarwal batting with full rhythm is the worst possible thing that KKR shall have to face tomorrow, which certainly will not be an easy thing to handle for Kolkata. Thus we feel that Mayank Aggarwal will go all guns against the Kolkata Bowling line-up and be the best batsman in the match tomorrow.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/04/Mayank-Agarwal-3-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-87882" /><figcaption>Mayank Agarwal</figcaption></figure>



Probable best bowler of the match - Umesh Yadav



The Knight Riders will expect Umesh Yadav - their key bowler so far to be at his best again. His rare ability to keep picking up early wickets thereby putting pressure on the opponent right from ball 1 has been pretty much useful to his side in both the matches.&nbsp;



His troubling the top order of the opposition has almost become a formality presently. His red hot form will definitely be a big thing which KKR will be relying upon in order to emerge victorious in tomorrow's match against RCB. Thus we expect him to be the best bowler in tomorrow's game for his side.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/04/Umesh-Yadav-1.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-87883" width="999" height="636" /><figcaption>Umesh Yadav</figcaption></figure>



<h2>KKR vs PBKS: Head to Head stats</h2>



Out of the total 29 matches played between them so far, KKr has had a clear edge over Punjab with 19 wins, in comparison to Pujab?s 10 wins. The historic clash between the two sides in the IPL 2014 finals is still fresh in all our minds for sure where KKR clinched victory in a high scoring thriller to lift their second IPL trophy.



Total Matches Played - 19



Won by KKR - 19



Won by PBKS - 10



<h2>KKR vs PBKS: Winning Prediction</h2>



Probable winner of tomorrow's match - Punjab Kings



After a lot of careful analysis made based on the batting , bowling strengths of both the sides , their player combinations and a dozen other aspects related to the matches in the past as well, we feel that Punjab Kings will be winning tomorrow's game thereby making it two wins in two games. The reason of our such prediction is the sheer batting brilliance of the Kings which they've displayed in the first game during their impossible looking run chase of 205 which they achieved successfully against all the odds.&nbsp;



Their classical display with the bat is for sure a big threat to any side's bowling line up in this season's IPL. A good enough bowling line up is there to assist this side's batting thereby making it a really tough side to face for the Knights tomorrow. Thus it will not be a walk in the park for Kolkata when they face such an in form Punjab side and will have to strengthen every department of theirs with great strategies thereby trying to brighten their chances in tomorrow's match thereby proving majority of our predictions wrong.

IPL 2022 has begun. The tournament has seen several exceptional performances. Many young players have made a name at the start of the tournament. Umesh Yadav is having an exceptional start to the tournament. In the absence of Deepak Chahar, he is making a strong case for himself in the white-ball circuit. The game on Friday saw the <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2022-kolkata-knight-riders-kkr-squad-2022-playing-11-schedule/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kolkata Knight Riders</a> take on the Punjab Kings.

Shikhar and Mayank were looking solid. But the initial strikes were made by Umesh Yadav. He took out Mayank but hit him on the pads. Next in was Bhanuka Rajapaksha. Bhanuka was looking in supreme touch. He smacked Shivam Mavi for 20+runs in an over. Rajapaksha played the blinder of an innings in which he scored 31 of 9 balls. Liam Livingstone then walked in and tried to hold the innings together. But Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine had already spun their web around the PBKS? batters. ?



Tim Southee also bowled an amazing spell. Liam Livingstone handed out a catch to Southee. This catch was match-changing. Southee covered 60 meters of the ground initially and then dived to take this perfect catch. Shahrukh Khan also couldn?t hang in. KG Rabada hit a few meaty blows in the second spell of Tim Southee to take PBKS to a respectable 137. Odean Smith in the wake of getting on strike got Arshdeep run-out and the PBKS team couldn?t play their full quota of 20 overs! ?



<h3>Brief Scores:&nbsp;</h3>

The KKR batting innings were doing well till KG Rabada tried to play spoilsport. He sent back Ajinkya Rahane as Rahane handed a catch to Odean Smith at gully. KKR was 14-1. Venky Iyer and <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/nitish-rana/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nitish Rana</a> too didn?t contribute much. Rahul Chahar picked the crucial wicket of Shreyas Iyer. Iyer was out at a score of 26 of 15 balls. Venky and his poor run continued with him scoring a mere 3 runs of 12 balls. ?



But Dre Russ walked in at number 6 and completely obliterated the bowlers. He took the spinners down piece by piece. Harpreet Brar and Rahul Chahar were taken to the cleaners. The pressure built by the initial bowlers couldn?t be kept. Russell was talking in sixes. Odean Smith also leaked runs at 19.5 runs in an over. Finally, Russell remained not out scoring 71 of 31 balls! KKR reached the target comfortably with 6 wickets in hand. ?

eden-gardens-pitch-report-kkr-vs-pbks-ipl-records-stats-weather-forecast-for-ipl-2023

KKR vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction: Aiden Markram-led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will face Shikhar Dhawan's Punjab Kings (PBKS) in match number 53 of the Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Eden Gardens. The contest will be staged on Monday, 8th May at 7:30 PM IST.



As the business end of the IPL 2023 is approaching it's end, the games are getting interesting and there is a lot at stake for the teams. KKR has now entered in a do-or-die situation with just four league matches remaining for them in the ongoing IPL 2023.



Last year's magic number to seal a place in the playoffs was 16, so KKR will look to reach there at least to get a chance. Kolkata right now has eight points and they will have to win their remaining four games in order to get that lucky number. So, no breather for them as we head closer to the next stage.



On the other side, Punjab Kings (PBKS) can afford to lose a game as they are in a much more comfortable position as compared to that of KKR. PBKS is placed with 10 rating points and just needs three more victories in four matches to get that lucky number.



KKR has been unlucky this season with their home games as more often than not they have ended on the losing side. Keeping that stat aside, KKR would be happy that their batters have managed to get some runs. The openers are in decent shape and the middle-order has bore a lot of responsibility this season.

Nitish Kumar Reddy has made history and has given India a hope to save or even win the ongoing Boxing Day Test at Melbourne Cricket Stadium. He struck his maiden Test ton which helped India save the follow-on and finish the day at 358/9. He became the 69th Indian batter to score a hundred on away soil.
His innings has kept India in the game, and the visitors have an outside chance. Nitish is unbeaten on 105 runs with 10 fours and one six.

He definitely silenced his critics who doubted his position in the playing XI.
<h2>IND vs AUS 4th Test: Puma slams Sanjay Manjrekar for his remark on Nitish Kumar Reddy's place in Playing XI</h2>
Nitish Kumar Reddy came out to bat when India lost Rishabh Pant at 191/6. He stretched an important partnership of 127 runs with Washington Sundar (50) for the 8th wicket. From there, Reddy played a matured knock and took risks when required and played cautiously when the pressure was on. With his hundred he became the first Indian batter to score a hundred at no. 8 on Australian soil.
His performance has not just earned him praise but also shut down all the critics. Notably, ahead of the MCG test, former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar questioned Reddy's place in the playing XI. He said, "Does Reddy add value to this Indian side? Can we expect 120 runs from a No. 8 batter or, say, a 7-wicket haul like Shardul Thakur? At this stage, his bowling isn’t good enough, and his batting is too early to consider him a batting all-rounder.”
He also pointed out that India need specialist batter in place of Reddy. And what came as a special performance, the 21-year-old went on to slam an incredible century. His hundred has numerous reactions off the field. Famous sportswear brand PUMA Cricket also had a cheeky response to Manjrekar's remark with a tweet featuring Nitish Kumar Reddy in a "finger of the lips" pose.
The post suddenly caught the attention of the fans and spread like the fire in the woods. Reddy made a big difference with his impeccable knock, and India will hope that he can add a few more runs on Day 4 to take India to close to Australia's first-inning score.

India batter Nitish Kumar Reddy has made the whole country proud after his sensational innings with the bat in the fourth game of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The match between the teams is taking place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne. 
Nitish Kumar Reddy slammed his maiden Test ton, and it came at a time when India was under massive pressure. The all-rounder looked in terrific touch with the bat and didn't put a foot wrong, which brought the Rohit Sharma-led side back in the game with his incredible effort. 
Almost every Indian fan, as well as the Indian players, stood up and applauded the batter for his innings. This was because, being the 21-year-old, the all-rounder was better than almost every Indian batter and racked up ton in front of his family.
While his family was in tears, a prominent figure in Indian cricket, Ravi Shastri, was also in tears. The former Indian head coach was commentating, and Nitish Kumar Reddy slammed his ton and was seen crying when the batter achieved his milestone. The video went viral, and you can see below the article. 
Coming to the match, India made a slight comeback on Day three of the ongoing fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 after being dominated for two days. Overnight batters Rishabh Pant (28) and Ravindra Jadeja (17) did all the hard work in the first hour of day three after India resumed at 165 for five. 
However, after that both the batters perished with visitors under pressure at 221 for seven. It was then when Nitish Kumar Reddy (105*) and Washington Sundar (50) joined hands and bailed India out of trouble and put Australia under massive pressure. 
The Nitish-Washington duo added 127 runs to put Australia under pressure. While the Southpaw was back after a fifty, Nitish hit his maiden Test century as India ended Day three on high. At stumps, India was 358 for nine, trailing by 116 runs. 
The Indian team would be hoping that Nitish Kumar Reddy bats longer and helps his team reduce the deficit under 100. His innings tomorrow will be extremely important for the team in the context of the ongoing match.

India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has dropped a bombshell statement about his battle with Australia batter Sam Konstas. He said that the batter was interesting, and he was enjoying the battle and is looking forward to the next innings of the match. 
Jasprit Bumrah, who has been the best bowler for India in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, was made look clueless by the 19-year-old Sam Konstas. The Australia debutant tackled the 'Bumrah' challenge brilliantly as, according to him, the attack was the best option to counter his challenge.
Sam Konstas brought his T20 style in the Tests as he hit Jasprit Bumrah for sixes and boundaries all over the park. It wasn't conventional shots but the batter was at his unorthodox best as he played reverse scoops and hit the fast bowler for runs all over the park. 
Jasprit Bumrah was hit for two sixes by Sam Konstas and it marked the first instance since 2018 when the fast bowler was hit for two sixes in the match. The pacer was taken out of attack in the first spell till the time the batter was back in the hut. 
<h2>He is an interesting batter - I always felt, I was in the game, some days, it pays off - Jasprit Bumrah on his battle with Sam Konstas </h2>
Talking about his battle with Sam Konstas, Jasprit Bumrah claimed that he has experienced a lot in his career and while calling the batter interesting batter, he said that he felt he was always in the game. He also stressed that when the batter fails, he will be criticised a lot. Speaking to 7 Cricket, he explained: 
"I have experienced a lot - played T20I cricket for more than 12 years - He is an interesting batter - I always felt, I was in the game, some days, it pays off, it looks good - some days, it won't and you guys will be criticizing the same person - I love different challenges and looking forward to new challenges". 
Sam Konstas raced away to his half-century in the game and ended with an inning of 60 runs. He set a great platform for the Australia team which allowed them to post a massive first innings total of 474 runs on the board. 
Jasprit Bumrah, on the other picked a four-wicket haul and gave away 99 runs. This was the first time in his career that he was taken for this many runs. He would be looking for a strong response in the second innings.

After a rained-out draw at the Gabba in Brisbane, the ongoing Boxing Day Test between Australia and India looks to be heading towards a draw. After the stumps on Day 3, India are 358/9, trailing by another 116 runs. The weather spoiled the play in the final sessions, and similarly there is a prediction of rain for the remaining two days.
Australia are currently ahead in the game and will look to take the remaining Indian wicket and have a good first-inning lead and bat early on Day 4. That is the only chance that they can try to force the result from this game. But as predicted by the weather forecast, there might be rain in the coming two days.
If it happens, it will eat the time out of this game, and the result will be very difficult. Hence, there is a chance that the Boxing Day Test can end in a draw. Well, both teams need this win to take an unassailable lead in the series and also to inch closer to a place in the World Test Championship. But what will happen if the game ends in a draw?
<h2>WTC Final Scenario: Here's how India can qualify for the final of the World Test Championship if the MCG test ends in a draw</h2>
Although India need to win the fourth and fifth tests to make a clear progression to the WTC final. But if in case the ongoing test ends in a draw, then the WTC final qualification scenario will be totally different. The draw at the MCG means that India will have to depend on the other teams.
Firstly, they need to win the fifth and final test at the SCG, and they will end with a scoreline of 2-1. Notably, Australia have two tests in Sri Lanka, and South Africa have two tests (one is underway) against Pakistan. If India win the BGT series 2-1, then they will hope that Sri Lanka can draw one of two tests against Australia or Pakistan beat South Africa in one game.
Secondly, if the BGT series ends at 2-2, then for India's qualification, Sri Lanka and Pakistan have to beat Australia and South Africa in both games. If the BGT series ends at a scoreline of 1-1, then the scenario will be Sri Lanka beating Australia in one game or Pakistan winning both matches against South Africa to help India qualify. Notably, if India lose the BGT series, they are out.

The third day of the Boxing-Day Test-Match was halted for some time due to rain after which the question started to raise among the fans that will the fourth and fifth days also get intervened by rainfall? Due to constant rainfall, the Gabba Test-Match ended as a draw. In such situation, keeping the World Test Championship Final qualification in mind for the Indian team, the rain can hamper their chances of qualifying for the title-deciding clash in June of next year. 
<h2>Weather forecast of the fourth and fifth days of the Melbourne Test-Match</h2>
According to the weather report of AccuWeather, the chances of rainfall intervening with the third day of the Melbourne Test-Match were 49% and rain intervened with the proceedings of the game too. But, no major impact was caused on the match by the intervention of the Weather Gods.

All of these are rumours and we don't prefer to respond on rumours. We are hearing these baseless rumours for the first time. It's upto him (Rohit) to decide whether we are in the middle of a Test-match or not. It's about winning matches."
<h2>The poor form of Rohit Sharma continues</h2>
The Indian skipper is currently having a tough time out there in the middle with the bat in Australia. If we take a look at his last 10 Test innings, he has managed to score just a single fifty. In the last 10 Test-innings, the 37-year old has scored 3, 10, 6, 3, 11, 18, 8, 0, 52 and 2 runs respectively. Even in the first inning of the Melbourne Boxing-Day Test, the former Mumbai Indians captain got dismissed after scoring just three runs.
<h2>Rohit Sharma's Test career so far</h2>
37-year-old Rohit Sharma has taken part in 66 Test-matches so far in his career. In 114 innings of these contests, he has managed to score 4,289 runs at average of 41.24 with the help of 12 hundreds and 18 fifties with a highest score of 212 runs next to his name. It's worth noting that Sharma made his Test debut in 2013 versus the Windies. 
<h2>The captain himself is proving to be the weakling</h2>
A captain of a team is regarded as the most important and experienced player and their role is to rescue their team from difficult situations and lead them to victory. However, in the case of Rohit Sharma, he is proving to be the weakest link of the Men in Blue. 
His poor performances with the bat are proving to be problematic for the Indian Team and in the last 14 test innings, Rohit has managed to score just 155 runs at a horrendous average of 10.07 which includes just a single half-century.The score of 52 runs has been his best score and besides that, the 37-year-old has not managed to cross the 20 runs mark even once.

Nitish Kumar Reddy has made history. The third day of the Boxing Day Test between India and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground has ended with the visitors fighting hard to survive in the game. They are still trailing by 116 runs with only one wicket left in the tank.
But it was the 21-year-old Nitish Kumar Reddy, who has made headlines with a Boxing Day century at the MCG. After a number of 30s and 40s earlier in the series, the 21-year-old finally reached his maiden test fifty. But he didn't stop there and stitched a crucial partnership with Washington Sundar, who also played well.
The duo took India past the follow-on score and kept India in the game. Sundar got out after his fifty, and Jasprit Bumrah backed a duck. But it was all determination by Reddy, who succeeded in getting his maiden test century, and what a time and place to get to the triple figure. With his century, he achieved multiple records.
<h2>IND vs AUS 4th Test: Nitish Kumar Reddy made history with his Boxing Day Ton at the MCG</h2>
At the end of Day 3, India are 358/9, with Reddy unbeaten on 105 runs with 10 fours and one six while Mohammed Siraj is on 2 not out. Reddy's hundred came at a crucial time as he came out to bat when India were 221/7. But it was a breakthrough innings for the youngsters. He played some beautiful shots and kept the scoreboard ticking.
When he reached 88 runs, he went past Anil Kumble and registered the highest score by an Indian on Australian soil, batting at no. 8. With his century now, he is the first Indian batter to slam a century batting at No. 8. This is not all. The 21-year-old has hit 8 sixes in the series so far. With this, he has hit the joint-most sixes in a test series on Australian soil.
Michael Vaughan (2002-03 Ashes) and Chris Gayle (2009-10) have hit 8 sixes each in a test series in Australia. Nitish Kumar Reddy still have some innings left, and if he can hit one more six, he will make history. Adding to that, Reddy had an exciting celebration. After reaching fifty, he celebrated in the famous "Pushpa" movie style.
However, after his century, he celebrated in "Bahubali" style, which tells about the great character of the youngster. With one wicket left, India will look to eat up Australia's lead. There are still two days left in the game, and India will look to take time. Sundar also played well for his half-century and added 127 runs for the 8th wicket.
