Top Player Picks for PBKS vs DC Dream11 Prediction

Priyansh Arya (PBKS):

• Priyansh Arya scored nine runs in his only innings in Jaipur.
• Priyansh Arya will open the innings and get nice batting conditions to bat. The new ball hasn’t swung enough here, and Arya can exploit the powerplay.
• Mitchell Starc is DC’s premium new-ball bowler, but he won’t play this game. This will ease Arya’s job, and he might score big.
• Priyansh Arya has an average of 35.75 and a 201.40 strike rate against pacers this season. Since DC don’t have a strong pace attack, Arya should thrive against them.
• Priyansh Arya’s last five scores: 9, 1, 23, 69, & 22.

Prabhsimran Singh (PBKS):

• Prabhsimran Singh has 111 runs at an average of 37 and a 142.30 strike rate in four innings in Jaipur. He also has a fifty here.
• Like Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh will open the innings and get nice batting conditions. He has been sensational in the powerplay and can take on a shaky DC attack.
• Prabhsimran Singh has done well against all DC bowlers. While there have been a few dismissals here and there, Prabhsimran has managed them well.
• Prabhsimran Singh has an average of 26.60 and a 172.72 strike rate against spinners in IPL 2025. Since he has done well against DC spinners, Prabhsimran will be one of PBKS’ best bets to counter them on a helpful deck.

• Yuzvendra Chahal was with the Rajasthan Royals in the previous cycle and understands this venue well. He has also done well here and can dismiss a few batters.

• Yuzvendra Chahal has dismissed Faf du Plessis and Axar Patel thrice, while Abishek Porel twice.
• Yuzvendra Chahal has an average of 16.60 against RHBs this season. DC have an RHB-heavy batting attack, and Chahal can exploit it.

Faf du Plessis (DC):

• Faf du Plessis has 106 runs at an average of 35.33 and a 121.83 strike rate in three innings in Jaipur. He also has a fifty here.
• Since the new ball won’t swing much, Faf’s role as an opener will become easier. He knows how to bat aggressively and maximise the powerplay.
• Even in general, Faf du Plessis will enjoy batting in Jaipur. The decks have been flat here, and Faf needs it to overcome his struggles.

• Kuldeep Yadav will get significant assistance off the surface at this venue. Since he is skilled enough to extract anything from the deck, Kuldeep should be a threatening option for PBKS.
• Kuldeep Yadav has been in terrific form this season. He has done well in almost every game and looks set for another good outing.
• Kuldeep Yadav has done better against RHBs this season. Since PBKS have several RHBs in their batting unit, Kuldeep’s value increases.

PBKS vs DC Player to Avoid
