Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are locking horns with Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Wankhede stadium in their third game of this IPL season. Kolkata skipper Shreyas Iyer won the toss and opted to bowl first citing the due in the second innings as the reason behind his decision. English batter Liam Livingstone was looking in good touch till he tried to smash Umesh Yadav for a six but failed to clear the boundary and Tim Southee took a brilliant catch.
