Indian Premier League: Struggling Kings XI Punjab face KKR in a must-win game

ABU DHABI: The ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season has almost reached its half-way mark and the KL Rahul-led Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) are yet to find winnings ways. The bottom-of the-table team will now be up against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Saturday in what could be called a must-win game if they want to keep their play-offs hopes alive.

With just a single win from six games, KXIP seem to be over-reliant on skipper Rahul, opener Mayank Agarwal and pace bowler Mohammad Shami. Barring the trio, the rest of the players have failed to click.

The Dinesh Karthik-led KKR have six points from five games and will aim to consolidate their position in the top four of the points-table. IANS
