IPL 2025: श्रेयस अय्यर और शाहरुख खान का होगा आमना-सामना

New Delhi. It is said that life completes its circle and you often get to see the best example of this on the cricket field. It is also said that the world fetish is small and you will definitely hit each other at some time. In 2024, the captain of the team that made KKR the champion will land against the same team on which it used to color on.

KKR won the first IPL title in a decade under Iyer’s captaincy twelve months ago. Shreyas Iyer, who won the title to Kolkata Knight Riders one season earlier, will now be the biggest obstacle in his path of playoff qualification when Punjab Kings will appear against the host on Saturday at the Idn Guardes in the important match of IPL. On Saturday, he will wear the jersey of the opposing team and will come down with the intention of taking the next step towards bringing Punjab to the playoffs.

Shahrukh and Shreyas will be face to face

After becoming the champion in 2024, Shreyas Iyer was released by KKR to surprise everyone but the Punjab Kings captaincy Iyer is appearing. Iyer, along with his mentor Ricky Ponting of Delhi Capitals, took Punjab to the fifth place by winning five out of eight matches. But he has so far scored 263 runs including three half -centuries. Now their intention will be to score a century. Shreyas Pass is a golden opportunity to answer with his bat, such as KL Rahul had won the Delhi Capitals against his former team Lucknow Super Giant by scoring an unbeaten half -century.

Kolkata wants victory under any circumstances

KKR has lost five out of eight matches and another defeat will make the playofte’s path impossible. His top order could not run and did not play the middle order responsibly. The spin invasion has proved to be a failure on its Garh Eden Gardens. He will have to win five out of the next six matches at all circumstances. KKR’s middle -order batsmen Andre Russell, Rinku Singh and Ramandeep Finishing Touch could not be able to change the team. KKR can now take off the Caribbean all -rounder Rowman Powell. Angkrish Raghuvanshi will have to face the challenge of bowlers like Arshdeep Singh and Yuzvendra Chahal. He will have to stay away from Chahal who had taken the wickets of Rahane, Raghuvanshi, Rinku and Ramandeep by putting a dangerous spell last week. KKR bowler Harshit Rana and Punjab opener Priyansh Arya will also be able to see the competition.

Possible playing XI of both teams:

Punjab Kings: Shreyas Iyer (Captain), Priyansh Arya, Prabhasimran Singh (wicketkeeper), Nehal Vadhera, Shashank Singh Marcus Stoinis, Marco Jansan, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Yash Thakur, Josh English,

Kolkata Knight Riders: Ajinkya Rahane (captain), Rinku Singh, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wicketkeeper), Rowman Powell, Venkatesh Iyer, Moin Ali, Ramandeep Singh, Andre Russell, Vaibhav Arora,, Harshit Rana, Sunil Narayan, Varun Chakraborty
