IPL 2021: KKR suffer triple blows after losing both their both openers

Punjab Kings are back into the game after a faulty 1st innings as they dismissed three Kolkata Knight Riders batsmen in the starting three overs of the game

The team lost their first wicket in the form of Nitish Rana who was dismissed for a duck by Moises Henriques in the first over. He was followed by Shubhman Gill in the very next over was dismissed by Mohammed Shami. The third wicket came in the form of Sunil Narine who went out for duck and was dismissed by Arshdeep Singh

With three wickets in three consecutive overs, Punjab Kings are right back into this game and this has pushed their opponents on the backfoot giving them a hope to defend the low total of 124.

With these triple blows, the Kolkata Knight Riders batsmen have been put under a lot of pressure as they expected a relatively easier run of play while chasing a low score but they have been brought into a comprising condition by the Kings.
