IPL 2026: KKR vs PBKS, Match 12 - Top player battles to watch out for
The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) square off against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, on Monday, April 6.
1) Arshdeep Singh vs Finn Allen
Arshdeep Singh has not been at his best so far in IPL 2026. He finished with figures of 0/42 against the Titans and 0/41 against the Super Kings. He will want to hit his straps against Finn Allen, who has been in staggering form of late. If Arshdeep can get the new ball to swing, it could put Allen under some pressure.
Allen has amassed 65 runs off just 24 balls in the two matches that he has played this season. He is averaging 32.50, but what is mind-boggling is his strike rate of 270.84. However, after KKR's back-to-back defeats, will Allen change his approach a bit or continue with his natural game? It will be intriguing to find out.
