Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Luvnith Sisodia

Luvnith Sisodia was a part of the Kolkata Knight Riders side in IPL 2025 but didn’t get a game. The wicketkeeper-batter can hit a long ball, and he likes to play aggressive cricket. It is difficult to contain him when he gets going.

Probable Best Bowler: Vijaykumar Vyshak

Vijaykumar Vyshak has showcased his ability to bamboozle batters with his variety of slower deliveries. The Punjab Kings pacer can also bowl accurate yorkers. He is a calm and composed operator who doesn’t get rattled when batters hit him for boundaries. This could stand him in good stead on Monday.
