PBKS lost the last match by just 2 runs against SRH and they have dropped to the lower berth of the points table with just 2 wins in 5 matches. Losing the last game by a narrow margin, PBKS will try to win this match at home ground and climb up the table.

Top Fantasy Picks - All Rounders, Batsman, Bowlers, Wicket Keepers

Top Batsman Picks - PBKS vs RR Dream11

• Sanju Samson - RR skipper Samson has scored 246 runs so far at a strike rate of 156.69. He looks in top form and he has been part of all the dream teams so far. In the last match he scored 109 fantasy points.
• Jos Buttler - Buttler is on and off form this season. After a brilliant match-winning century against RCB he failed to perform in the next match against GT. Buttler has scored 143 runs so far at a strike rate of 131.19 and we expect him to go big on this batting track.
• Shashank Singh - Shashank Singh is making a name for himself this season. He is playing the role of a finisher and looks quite confident in that role. He has scored 137 runs in 5 matches at an aggressive strike rate of 195.71.

Top Bowler Picks - PBKS vs RR Dream11

• Trent Boult - Boult is the leading pacer for the RR side. He has picked 5 wickets in 5 matches and looks a little out of touch but we expect some wickets from him in this match. He has a strike rate of 19.2.
• Yuzvendra Chahal - Chahal has a habit of leading the purple cap list and he is doing it again. With 10 wickets in 5 matches, Chahal is the leading wicket taker of the season. He is bowling at an impressive average of 13.20.
• Arshdeep Singh - Arshdeep is the leading the wicket taker list for PBKS with 8 wickets in 5 matches after his 4-wicket haul in the last match. He is bowling at a strike rate of 13.7. In the last match he scored 112 fantasy points.

Players To Avoid - PBKS vs RR Dream11

• Dhruv Jurel - Dhruv has not been performing up to the mark this season. He has scored 42 runs in 5 matches and looks low on confidence to go for a big knock.
• Ravichandran Ashwin - Ashwin scored 2 and 6 fantasy points in the last 2 games. In 5 matches he has scored 45 runs and picked just 1 wicket so far. We are not expecting a big performance from him in the next match and keeping him out of the fantasy teams for this match.
