VIVO IPL 2016: Kings XI Punjab vs Kolkata Knight Riders Match Live Score Updates on Follow Your Sport

After the first match definitely batting looks to be their biggest strength. Murli Vijay and Manan Vohra took the team off to a flier.  Their efforts were lauded with useful contributions from Wriddhiman Saha and Marcus Stoinis. In the bowling department Sandeep Sharma looked the most promising with his ability to swing the ball and the craft to pick wickets in the powerplays.
