A rejuvenated Kings XI Punjab would aim to continue on their fantastic winning run when they take on the Kolkata Knight Riders on Monday -- a match which proves key for the top-4 race in IPL 2020. While the KKR are at fourth position with 12 points, the KXIP are only two points behind and will dethrone the Knight Riders with a win.

KXIP underwent a late revival as their batting order -- apart from KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal -- stepped up after five successive losses after seven games. In their previous match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, their bowling attack produced a remarkable performance to defend 127-run target, aiding KXIP to a 12-run win.
KKR, meanwhile, will be high on confidenced after securing a heavy 59-run victory over the high-flying Delhi Capitals in their last match. One of the biggest positives for the Knight Riders must be the performances from Nitish Rana and Sunil Narine with the bat - until that game, the side relied on Eoin Morgan's heroics more often than not.

KXIP had roared back to form, snapping their five match losing-streak with a win over third-placed Royal Challengers Bangalore. Since then the KL Rahul-led side has not looked back, defeating the top two sides in the tournament -- Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals -- besides Sunrisers Hyderbad.
