A week ago, it was just another pathetic IPL season for Punjab Kings as they had completed a hat-trick of losses in IPL 2021 and were looking at 1 win in 4 games at the bottom of the points table. Now however, they’ve staged a recovery and have 2 wins in their last 3 games and with 3 in 7 games, they’re knocking the doors of the top four. Their top order has been their strongest suit so far and will rely on them again.
It’s a double header this Sunday in IPL 2021 and in the first game of the day, Rajasthan plays Sunrisers Hyderabad in Delhi. A few hours later, the action moves to Ahmedabad in Match 29 where Punjab takes on Delhi Capitals, one of the strongest sides of IPL 2021. Delhi currently has 5 wins in 7 games.

- KL Rahul – 331 runs in 7 games this year so far.
Punjab Kings
Aussie pacer Riley Meredith has only 3 scalps in 4 games but he showed his worth in the last game and will be a good pick if he is fit once again to play. If not, it’s likely Jhye Richardson will be given another go today. With the bat, Chris Gayle has been in great form and the out-of-form West Indian Nicholas Pooran is likely to be dropped for the former #1 T20I batsman Dawid Malan.
From those we know will play, KL Rahul is sitting pretty with the Orange Cap in IPL 2021 and he’s a must have because of his sublime consistency not just this year but over the last few seasons. After a brilliant start to the season, Deepak Hooda has only got 19 runs in his last 4 games so we’re keeping him out and can go in for Shahrukh Khan who has shown potential and is worth adding to our PBKS vs DC Dream11 team.
Delhi Capitals
We’ve often spoken about how Steve Smith isn’t the ideal T20 batsman and while I personally want him to be playing, they may consider dropping him in which case, Sam Billings would be the ideal replacement, worth having in your My11Circle (Get Rs.500 FREE*) PBKS vs DC fantasy team because he’s a floater in the batting lineup. We’re skipping Rishabh Pant because he struggled last match and right through IPL 2020 as well.

Leading the wickets tally for the side is Avesh Khan who has 13 scalps in 7 games and should be in your PBKS vs DC fantasy team because he’s done well at the top of the innings as well as at the death. Kagiso Rabada has struggled and while it’s not right to give him the axe yet, there’s always Anrich Nortje and Chris Woakes as options to pick as the overseas bowler for this match.
