The home crowd will be expecting their captain, Shreyas Iyer, to deliver a big knock tonight in New Chandigarh. In the previous season, he failed to fire at the franchise's home venue. The right-handed batsman managed to score just 27 runs across five innings at an average of 5.40 and a strike rate of 100.00, with a best score of 10. It will be interesting to see if he manages to end his dry run at home (Pic: X/@PunjabKingsIPL)
