Avesh Khan has been a constant source of wickets for Rishabh Pant's Delhi Capitals.

Preview:

Regular skipper Shreyas Iyer was ruled out of the season even before the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League had started, Ravichandran Ashwin left the team midway due to COVID-related complications, while Amit Mishra is also nursing an injury.

Despite missing three of their key players, there is no stopping Delhi Capitals, as they completely outplayed Kolkata Knight Riders in their last game. This victory helped DC to get a top two place and they wouldn’t want to part with it. On the other hand, Punjab Kings are not a part of the top four at the moment, but they were also superb in their last game, as they got the better of Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Top Picks for PBKS vs DC Dream11 Match:

Top Picks – Batsmen

Shikhar Dhawan has started the 2021 season right from where he left the 2020 edition. He has scored 40+ runs in three of his last five games, which includes a sublime knock of 92 runs against this very opponent, Punjab Kings.

Youngster Prithvi Shaw is showing that he knows how to make a comeback after receiving a blow. He has scored two half-centuries in his last three matches.

Top Picks – All-Rounders

Axar Patel has got off to a brilliant start, as he has picked up at least one wicket in all the matches he has played in this season. He picked up 2 wickets in the last game.

Top Picks – Bowlers

Avesh Khan has been a constant source of wickets for Rishabh Pant’s Delhi Capitals. He has picked up at least one wicket in all of his last five games.

Youngster Ravi Bishnoi is proving why it was a mistake to bench him in the first few games. He has picked up 4 wickets in his three IPL 2021 matches and has conceded less than 25 runs in all of those games.

Top Picks – Wicketkeepers

KL Rahul is a contender for Orange Cap this season as well. He scored 91 runs in the last game, which was also his third half-century in his last five matches.

Opposition skipper Rishabh Pant is also doing a good job with the bat. He scored a quick-fire 16 in the last game, while he scored 90+ runs in the two matches prior to that.

PBKS vs DC Risky Captaincy Picks:

Steve Smith is not getting many opportunities to showcase what he can produce with the bat, but the Australian has managed to score 30+ runs twice in his last three innings. He can be a risky captaincy pick.

Chris Gayle has not been consistent, but it is the knocks like the one in his last game against RCB which makes him a must pick. You can take a risk by making him the captain of your fantasy team.

Player you should avoid:

Marcus Stoinis might have picked up a wicket in his last game, but it was only his second wicket in his last five games. He is also not getting too many chances with the bat and can be avoided for this game.
