Punjab Kings are gearing up to kick off their campaign in the 16th Indian Premier League (IPL) with a thrilling home fixture against Kolkata Knight Riders. The much-anticipated match will take place at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali. Both teams have appointed new captains for the IPL 2023 season. The experienced India opener, Shikhar Dhawan, will lead the Punjab Kings, while Nitish Rana has taken over as captain of the Kolkata Knight Riders, replacing the injured Shreyas Iyer.
The Punjab Kings have also secured the services of World Cup-winning coach Trevor Bayliss, while Kolkata will be guided by Chadrakant Pandit, who has been dubbed the "Alex Ferguson of Indian domestic cricket" by Dinesh Karthik.
The Punjab Kings are still chasing their maiden IPL trophy and will be determined to make their dream a reality this season. Meanwhile, Kolkata Knight Riders, who have won the tournament twice, last tasted success in 2014 when they overcame Punjab Kings (then Kings XI Punjab) in the final.
