Poor form alert (PBKS)

Poor form alert (RR) 

  • Jos Buttler has 2 ducks in the last two games.

Risk-Reward Alert

  • You can consider dropping Ravichandran Ashwin as Punjab doesn’t have any left-handers in the middle order.

  • Punjab’s new ball bowling has been below par so you can go with Jaiswal and Buttler as C/VC even in small leagues.  

  • Shikhar Dhawan will be a good captaincy choice as well despite his failure in the last game.

  • Consider dropping batters who bat below number 4 from the team batting first. 

  • Atharva Taide will be an excellent differential pick. 

  • Prabhsimran’s selection will go down if Punjab bats second as he’ll be the impact sub. Pick him.

Shikhar Dhawan (c), Atharva Taide, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Sam Curran, Shahrukh Khan, Harpreet Brar, Rahul Chahar, Kagiso Rabada, Nathan Ellis, Arshdeep Singh
