In the process, KKR also registered the highest ever opening partnership in the IPL 2024 so far, as the ever-consistent pairing of Sunil Narine and Phil Salt is proving to be a big thorn in the backs of all the opposition teams, as the duo is taking no stopping.

“It’s good fun. We know how good Narine has been and it was pretty good to get a partnership. Narine and I keep it simple and clear. We’re enjoying it. We’ll look to shut it down with a clinical bowling display. Can’t take them lightly,” said Phil Salt during an on-field interview at innings break.

Can PBKS Chase 262 Against KKR?

PBKS are having a dismal and miserable IPL 2024 but can turn their season around by chasing down the highest ever total in all of T20. However, their batting is a major concern which has failed to click. The only bright spots for PBKS can be Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma, but, if the top order goes all guns blazing against KKR, PBKS can stand a chance of pulling off a miracle.
