The pitch at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati has traditionally supported spin bowling. This will be the first time an IPL match is being played at this venue.
Rajasthan Royals wrist-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal became the only second bowler in IPL to achieve a significant record.
Arshdeep Singh worked on advice given by his former Punjab Kings teammate and India fast bowler Mohammed Shami to become a much-improved fast bowler.
The PBKS vs RR match is going to be the 52nd match of IPL 2022 that will take place on May 7 (Saturday) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Punjab Kings once again botched up a chase in which they were supposed to win during the match against Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2021.
PBKS needed four runs from the final six deliveries, but Tyagi managed to hand Royals a two-run victory, as he also picked two wickets.
KL Rahul and Deepak Hooda powered Punjab Kings to a massive total of 221/6 after batting first on the batsman friendly wicket.
Arshdeep held his nerve to consistently bowl at the blockhole, and that ultimately got PBKS a win as Samson was dismissed off the last ball.
In Jofra Archer's absence, Chris Morris, who returns to the Rajasthan Royals, will have a key role to play.
