Rana and Russell can reverse the match
The Punjab team is doing well under
the leadership of Ravichandran Ashwin, who has aggressive batsmen like L. Rahul,
Australia's
Aaron Finch and Indian star Yuvraj Singh besides Gail.
On the other hand, KKR's Russell made 41 runs in 12 balls in
a win over Delhi Daredevils in the last match. Rana remained Man of the Match
for two consecutive matches. Rana took Virat Kohli's big wicket in the match
against Royal Challengers Bangalore and Ajinkya Rahane's big wicket in the
match against Rajasthan Royals.
West Indies off-spinner Sunil Narine
is once again in trouble with his bowling action. The 29-year-old bowler plays
for the Pakistan Super League by Lahore Kalander. In this league being played
in UAE, question of Naren was raised in the fight against Quetta Gladiator. Naren
was reacted by the Kolkata Knight Riders team of the Indian Premier League.
Naren has played 82 matches for KKR in the IPL. This is not
the first time Naren has been in dispute over his bowling action. Earlier, in
the Champions League Twenty20 played in India,
the bowling action of Narane was also declared invalid. After this, Naren had
withdrawn from the West Indies team in the 2015 World
Cup on his bowling action. Before returning to the team, Naren made many
changes in his action.
After this, in November 2015, in the fight against the West
Indies Sri Lanka, their action was once again suspected. The ICC investigated
their bowling action. They were cleared before the IPL 2016.
This time the IPL is becoming difficult for Kolkata. The
Kolkata team has selected 19 players in the IPL this time. Chris Lin and Andre
Russell are already injured. It is difficult to say how long they will get fit.
In such a situation, if there is any action on Naren, then difficulties for KKR
can increase.
Punjab Cricket Association has requested BCCI to change the
venue of two matches of Kings XI Punjab. Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) is scheduled to
play four matches in Mohali between May 4 and 14.
BCCI executive president CK Khanna also confirmed this. Khanna
told our associate newspaper, Times of India, "We have received a request
from PCA and since it is a good thing, the Governing Council of IPL will
definitely take notice of this."
Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) has to play against Kolkata Knight
Riders on 12th May. Apart from this, his match against the Royal Challengers
Bangalore on May 14. Punjab have to play against Mumbai
Indians and Rajasthan Royals at the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali on 4 and 6 May.
In addition to playing 4 home matches in Mohali, Kings XI
Punjab have to play three domestic matches in Indore.
This is the only IPL team which will play domestic matches in the other city. One
source said, "There is an attempt to get one or two matches in Lucknow."
The IPL governing council can be held in Mumbai on Friday.
Sources say that the governing council meeting can also
decide on the conduct of two playoff matches. These matches are proposed in
Pune. It is based on the rule that according to which the playoffs will be
played on the home ground of one of the teams that reached the finals of the
last season. There are also indications that some members of the Governing
Council want to organize some matches in Pune.
