IPL 2025 Top Two Qualification Scenarios: Can RCB, GT, PBKS or MI Seal a Top Spot?
Shreyas Iyer has done an outstanding job for Punjab Kings. He’s having his best season, with 435 runs from 12 innings at a strike rate of 170 while averaging 47. The PBKS skipper has four half centuries under his belt.
KL Rahul has been prolific in this season. He has moved to opening the innings recently, which increases his fantasy value. He has amassed 504 runs in the tournament at an average of 56 and strike rate of 148. Rahul has smashed one century and three half centuries.
Prabhsimran Singh has given his team great starts repeatedly. He has made 458 runs at an average of 38 while striking at 171. The opening batter has hit four half centuries in the competition. Back him to come good in this game.
Nehal Wadhera has been superb in the middle order. He has struck 280 runs in the season at an average of 30 while striking at 149. Part of 40% fantasy teams, he can be a good differential pick.
Faf du Plessis’ ownership has dropped to 38% for this game. But a player of his class can’t be left out, especially considering he opens the innings.
