Captaincy picks for PUN vs BLR

KL Rahul (Punjab)

The Punjab captain has been in some form with the bat in this tournament so far. The Karnataka batsman has made 240 runs from six matches. It should be noted that when these two teams had met in the last season of the league, Rahul scored a brilliant hundred in Dubai and managed to win that match for his team almost on the back of that knock.

AB de Villiers (Bangalore) 

AB de Villiers has managed to play some extraordinary innings in this tournament so far. What is really exciting about his batting is that he has enjoyed success in the venues where it has been difficult to bat. His 75-run knock in the previous match helped Bangalore win the match.
