KKR vs PBKS Changes in Playing 11 from last game
KKR captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and decided to bowl first at the Wankhede wicket which was no surprise. However, surprising was the decision to drop Sheldon Jackson after just one bad game with the bat. But more than dropping Jackson, it is about playing five bowlers and that's what Iyer has gone for. Shivam Mavi comes in for Sheldon Jackson. Sam Billings would keep wickets
Punjab Kings too have made change in their Playing 11 and Kagiso Rabada has come in place of Sandeep Sharma. It was expected that KG would come back but in place of Harpreet Brar, instead of Sandeep Sharma

Six!! It will be finishing very soon as Liam Livingstone has been brought into the attack and Russell has hit him for a six
Six and Win!! It was only fitting that Andre Russell hit that or a six to win the game for his team. What a win this has been for KKR! Andre Russell take a bow! What an innings it has been, Hitting 70 off just 31 balls. This is one of the best of the season so far

IPL 2022 LIVE | KKR vs PBKS | KKR Live Score 128-4 after 14 overs, 50 for Russell
24 more is needed of the last seven overs and by all stretch of the imagination, it is game set and match for KKR until something very miraculous is achieved by the Punjab Kings bowlers
Four!! Almost took the bowler away with him. What a powerful straight hit that was from Russell and the matter of the fact that it was no ball will give him yet another go at hitting the white cherry out of the park.
Free Hit. Not out of the park but he hit it alright and straight to the fielder. A single taken. Russell has also brought up his fifty btw, his 26th in the T20 career
Six!! WOW!! There is no stopping Andre Russell, is there? He now hits this over sweeper cover for a six

IPL 2022 LIVE | KKR vs PBKS | KKR Live Score 109-4 after 12 overs, Russell in a hurry
Russell now seems in a bit of a hurry here as he gets a four down the leg and then the very next over he hammers Odean Smith down the ground for a huge six.
Six!! Once again he goes for it as it was short, but just hip-high and came very slowly onto his bat. All that Russell did was hit it with all his might and it went for a six over fine leg
And six more. It will get over soon it seems because Russell here is dealing only in sixes
Six!! Length ball again and it was Sam Billings this time around as he hammered this for a six down the ground.

Six!! Russell can only be controlled so much and he shows that here with a break free shot for a six and not just any six, a huge six over deep mid-wicket which hits the first tier in the stands.
And he goes again, only to find the edge of the bat and the ball hitting his pads and going for just one run
Six!! Hello, Harpreet Brar is getting hammered here as this one has been hit many miles and into the stands as well. This is even bigger and it might just be a game-changing over here

With Andre Russell in the middle alongside Sam Billings, this is also the last recognized batting pair of KKr and they need 82 more runs in 11 overs. If KKR are to get this total, one out of these two players needs to play till the end for KKR's sake it would be better if it is Russell.
