Top Picks from KKR vs PBKS for Dream11 Fantasy Team:
Lokesh Rahul has been in terrific touch with the bat so far in this tournament which makes him a must pick and captain, vice captain choice too. He has mustered 422 runs at an average of above 50 with the help of four half centuries in 10 innings this season.
Mohammad Shami has been a consistent wicket taking bowler for Punjab Kings who has bagged 14 wickets at a strike rate of 17.42 in 11 innings so far this season. He will have to step up again and take some crucial wickets in this important match.
Sunil Narine has looked in terrific touch during the last two matches especially with the bowl. Five wickets in the last two matches at a strike rate of below 15 shows that he’s back in form and ready to put up another good spell in this big match.
Shubman Gill has got decent starts in almost every match but failed to convert them into big ones which is putting pressure on the middle order batters. He should step up in this match and play a top knock.
