IPL 2022: 3 Players to avoid in fantasy teams for PBKS vs DC game

Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals will take on each other in the 64th match of IPL 2022 on Monday. Both the teams have 12 points across their name in the points table and would be desperate to win this game. They have won their previous respective match and would expect a similar result in this match. DC defeated Rajasthan Royals in the last game by 8 wickets after chasing a target of 161 runs in 18.1 overs. Punjab Kings won their last game against Royal Challengers Bangalore by 54 runs. DC defeated PBKS in the first game this season by 9 wickets after chasing a mere target of 116 runs in just 10.3 overs.

Here are 3 players you can avoid in your fantasy teams for the PBKS vs DC game:

1. Srikar Bharat

Srikar Bharat made his debut for DC against CSK on May 8 and opened the innings along with David Warner. He was dismissed for 8 runs in the second over of the innings. In the next game against RR, Bharat was out for a duck. Before coming into the IPL, he hit 2 centuries for Andhra Pradesh in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and was the leading run-scorer for his team in the tournament. However, he has not been able to replicate the same form in IPL this season.

2. Jitesh Sharma

Jitesh Sharma has got a chance to bat in 3 out of the last 5 matches because he is batting in the lower middle order. The wicketkeeper-batter could make only 9 runs in the last game against RCB off 5 deliveries. He batted in the number six position in that match. You can avoid Jitesh in your fantasy team and pick some other wicketkeepers.

3. Axar Patel

In the last 5 matches, Axar Patel has picked only a single wicket. He has played some decent knocks with the bat, however, he might not get an opportunity to bat in this game. In the last match, Axar bowled only 2 overs and gave away 25 runs. You can pick in-form bowlers in your fantasy team and avoid Axar.
