Aakash Chopra finds KXIP as entertainment
“All eyes will be on the encounter between Kolkata Knight Riders and Kings XI Punjab because the two teams are at the fourth and fifth positions currently. But if Kings XI Punjab win this match, the two teams will have the same number of points with the only net run rate being the difference.”
“And the story ahead is that both the teams play the same opposition in their upcoming matches, Chennai and Rajasthan with just the sequence being different. So, it will be even-stevens if Punjab wins this match.”
“But if Kolkata wins this match, they will reach 14 points which will mean that the top 4 teams will be on 14 points and the rest of the teams will be trying to make it somehow but it will become very very tough.”
“Punjab is a team on the rise. They have won four matches in a row, even from situations where it was impossible to win. A lot of things were not going their way earlier but now all things are going in their favor.”
“The word ‘Entertainment’ defines Kings XI Punjab and you can expect the same thing this evening.”
