Kolkata, April 26 -- As Punjab Kings (PBKS) takes on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) at Eden Gardens, a key concern will be the recent slump in skipper Shreyas Iyer's form.

PBKS will face KKR at Eden Gardens on Saturday. PBKS is fifth in the points table with five wins and three losses, giving them 10 points. On the other hand, KKR is struggling, having won just three of their eight matches and standing in seventh.

Shreyas Iyer has been PBKS's leading run-scorer, having made 263 runs in eight innings at an average of 43.83 and a strike rate of 185.21, with the best score of 97*. He has smacked 17 fours and 20 sixes this season in 142 balls, as per ESPNCricinfo.

Beneath these stats lies some inconsistency....
