In the matches played here this season so far, spinners have ruled the roost, especially late in any inning. So, the key is to go big in the powerplay and not lose many wickets.

- Punjab Kings bowler Yuzvendra Chahal seems to have finally found his form in IPL 2025. The highest wicket-taker in the history of this competition, Chahal, looked out of colour at the start of this season. But across the last two matches, he has taken six wickets and has looked economical
- Kolkata Knight Riders batter and captain Ajinkya Rahane has been his team’s most reliable batter this season. The veteran Indian batter has scored 271 runs in eight games at an average of 38.71 and has scored three half-centuries, one of which was in KKR’s most recent match against the Gujarat Titans.
- Punjab Kings batter Shashank Singh was one of the only two players retained by PBKS ahead of this season, and he is showing why that was the case..
