B. Rajapaksa

Rajapaksa emerged as the top batter in the first match, scoring 43 runs off 22 deliveries. With more than 82% selection so far, he is a must pick among the wicket keepers. We are backing him as the dream11 captain for this match.

Shreyas Iyer

Shreyas Iyer has been in good form lately. He has scored 33 runs in 2 matches at an average of 33.00. We are aware of Iyer’s capabilities in this format and are backing him as one of top picks for this match.

Shikhar Dhawan

Shikhar Dhawan is the top picked player in this match with highest selection percentage so far. He gathered 60 points in the first game by scoring 43 off 29 balls. Dhawan has had a good stint last season with Delhi Capitals and expected to go with the same flow in PBKS as well.

Sunil Narine

Narine performed well against RCB scoring 12 off 8 balls and picking 1 wicket. We are picking him as a top pick player ahead of Russell. Currently he doesn’t have much pick percentage but he is certainly a game changer with both bat and ball.

Kagiso Rabada

Kagiso Rabada is expected to make it to the playing 11 in this match. Rabada has been quite impressive in the IPL. He gained a lot of popularity in his former team Delhi Capitals. In 50 IPL matches, Rabada has picked 76 wickets at an economy of 8.21.

Umesh Yadav

Umesh Yadav is the top picked bowler currently and the reason is his 4 wickets in 2 matches at an average of 9.00 and economy of 4.50. Yadav looks in great touch this season and is expected to end up among the top bowlers.
