Injuries & Illnesses

Both teams are awaiting confirmation regarding the availability of some of their key players, including Sanju Samson, Marcus Stoinis, Marco Jansen, and Josh Inglis.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

The Sawai Mansingh Stadium Pitch Report suggests that the conditions are likely to be good for batting. The flat surface is devoid of any grass, and the bowlers are likely to have a tough time here. While the new ball might do a bit, the bowlers will have to be very accurate with their line and length.

The conditions will remain warm and dry, and there is no chance of any rain. Also, since the conditions are dry, dew is unlikely to play a factor.

RR vs PBKS Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Prabhsimran Singh is the top pick in this category. He is in excellent form and is also the leading run-scorer for the Kings.

Batters

Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shreyas Iyer, and Priyansh Arya are the obvious selections. As the pitch is likely to be conducive for batting, they can earn plenty of points.

All Rounders

Riyan Parag has done an excellent job for RR, especially with the bat. We are also picking up Wanindu Hasaranga. While he hasn’t been in the best of form, Hasaranga has the potential to play an important role with the bat and the ball.

Bowlers

Since two of our all-rounders can spin the ball, we are selecting two seamers here in Arshdeep Singh and Jofra Archer. We are also picking up Chahal to bring balance to the bowling attack.

RR vs PBKS Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

There are quite a few contenders for the post of captain of the team, but we will go with Yashasvi Jaiswal here. He has been a consistent performer with the bat and could play another big knock here.

Vice-Captain

The vice-captain of our team is Shreyas Iyer. He has batted brilliantly in the middle order and is also quite sharp in the field.
