After a week-long rest, Kings XI Punjab come alive once again at the IPL 2018 as they take on Mumbai Indians at their adopted home, Holkar Stadium. The ground at Indore will now host all the home matches of Punjab and it will kickstart with MI. Mumbai Indians are languishing at the bottom of the point’s table and even a single loss kills the light hope that they have carried so far. This is the first match at the Holkar Stadium this season.

Here are the five things to look out for

Punjab’s form

Kings XI Punjab has emerged out as one of the top favorites in the season to qualify for the playoffs. Their performance spear-headed by first KL Rahul and then by the Gayle storm has been amazing. In Ankit Rajpoot, they have found a tearaway bowler who has been effective.

KXIP began by defeating Delhi in a canter. They then lost an away match to RCB where Bangalore ripped out their top-order. Punjab then started an impressive run of four wins where they defeated SRH, CSK, DD and KKR. Their last match against Hyderbad resulted in a loss. Now they return in the action.
