PBKS vs RR Dream11 Top Fantasy Picks All Rounders, Batsman, Bowlers, Wicket Keepers

Wicketkeeper	Jos Buttler (C), Sanju Samson
Batters	Shikhar Dhawan, Yashasvi Jaiswal
All-rounders	R Ashwin, Liam Livingstone (VC), Sam Curran
Bowlers	Yuzvendra Chahal, Trent Boult, Arshdeep Singh, Kagiso Rabada

Yashasvi Jaiswal

Jaiswal has been in tremendous form in IPL 2023, scoring 575 runs for Rajasthan Royals. Jaiswal has scored a century and a 98 in his stellar run this year. A lot will rest on him and how he stars for RR in this must-win game against Punjab Kings.

Jos Buttler

Buttler has blown hot and cold in the tournament but he would enjoy the conditions in Dharmshala where the batters will get consistent pace and bounce. If Buttler gets going, RR will definitely get a boost in their net run rate.

Trent Boult

The new ball may swing early on and in Trent Boult, Rajasthan Royals have got a lethal pacer who can run through a batting lineup early on. Boult already has two double-wicket maidens in IPL 2023.

Liam Livingstone

Liam Livingstone was in brutal form in the last game against Delhi capitals. The swashbuckling batter scored 94 runs, however, he could not lead Punjab Kings to a win. He will be eyeing to play another good knock and possibly lead the team to a win.

Kagiso Rabada

With Rabada back in the team, PBKS will hope that the ace pacer finds his form in the last league game and help Punjab Kings win and keep their hopes alive in the tournament.
