Pooran has been dominating the proceedings, where he has smashed 43 runs off 25 balls that he has faced so far. With a strike rate of 172, he has hit him for six boundaries and lost his wicket just once.

Shreyas Iyer vs Ravi Bishnoi

Shreyas Iyer has been leading the Punjab Kings from the front with his solid performances. He is one of the best batters against spin, and that is where he would get more crucial as Ravi Bishnoi is the primary bowler for LSG, and he has been doing a great job for the franchise.

Iyer has faced 21 deliveries from Bishnoi, where he has been able to score just 26 runs, inclusive of just three boundaries. Although he has not been able to get him out, Bishnoi has surely been able to keep him quiet.
