Player Picks
Virat Kohli RCB | BAT
Virat Kohli has been in brilliant form in the ongoing season. The star batter is currently in the pole position in terms of the leading run scorers and looks to go big every match. Against PBKS, he might perform well given the context of the match.
Faf du Plessis RCB | BAT
Faf Du Plessis has been in good touch too. The RCB skipper scored a brisk fifty in the last game against GT and took the game away from the visiting side in a matter of few overs. The RCB opener has been on a roll in the last few games and it could not be any different against PBKS.
Harpreet Brar PBKS | BOWL
Harpreet Brar has a good record against RCB. The left-arm orthodox spinner can take wickets of the best batters in the world. He can also come lower down the order and add some runs as a batter. The emerging player would be hoping to give his best for the 2014 runner-ups.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Mahipal Lomror
RCB | ALL
Mahipal Lomror is someone who bats lower down the order. Given the current bowling of RCB, he might not get an opportunity to bowl either. If RCB gets off to a flier, Mahipal might not even get a chance to bat. Hence, it is better to avoid him.
Rilee Rossouw
PBKS | BAT
Rilee Rossouw has been woefully out of form this season. In 5 innings, the Southpaw has just 79 runs to his name with a best score of 45. In 4 games, he has had a negative impact on the side. Against RCB, he is very difficult to be trusted given his form.
Jitesh Sharma
PBKS | WK
Jitesh Sharma has not had a single good game this season as a batter. The emerging batter was one of the top contenders to be in the Indian squad in the T20 WC squad, but ended up missing the flight due to his poor performance in the season.
