Top Picks From PBKS vs KKR For Dream11 Fantasy Team:
Shikhar Dhawan is the most important batter in the Punjab Kings’ batting line up. After the departure of their former captain Mayank Agrawal, a lot of responsibility will now be on their new captain to get the team off to a good start. He has the potential to hold one end and play a match-winning knock for his team.
Arshdeep Singh is the most improved bowler in recent times. After making his debut for the Indian team, he’s been more accurate with his lines and lengths. The 24-year-old pacer has the ability to swing the ball both ways with the new ball and is equally effective in death overs as well.
Andre Russell is regarded as one of the most dangerous all-rounders in the world currently. The Caribbean all-rounder has the ability to destroy any bowling unit with his hard-hitting ability and is expected to play the role of a finisher for his team. If needed, he can bowl some useful overs of fast bowling as well.
Shardul Thardul is another utility player who can fetch a lot of fantasy points with his all-round abilities. The 31-year-old pacer can bowl accurately in any phase of the game with his variations. Apart from his bowling, Shardul can hit useful blows batting in the lower down the order as well.
