Top Players for LSG vs PBKS Dream 11 Match 

Top Players – Lucknow Super Giants

Nicolas Pooran – West Indies star Nicolas Pooran has been in tremendous form with in the T20 format. The left-handed batter scored an amazing unbeaten 64 runs in the opening game against Rajasthan Royals. LSG fans will want Nicolas Pooran to be in good form to post their 1st win of IPL 2024. 

KL Rahul – LSG skipper KL Rahul showed no signs of rust as he began the IPL 2024 in fine style. The 31-year-old scored 58 runs from 44 balls while chasing the huge total set by the Royals. KL Rahul has always been in a consistent performer in the IPL and he needs to fire with the bat to help his side this season. 

Top Players – Punjab Kings 

Sam Curran – Star England all-rounder Sam Curran has found his form and done well in the IPL 2024 season so far. The 25-year-old has begun the season well with the bat and put on key runs on the board for his side. 

Shikhar Dhawan – Veteran batter Shikhar Dhawan has given Punjab Kings great starts with the bat so far. The left-handed batter has been looking good with the bat so in both games in IPL 2024. With the unpredictable batting line-up of PBKS the responsibility of scoring runs falls on the shoulders of Shikhar Dhawan. 

LSG vs PBKS Must Picks for Dream11 Fantasy Cricket

Naveen Ul Haq – Afghanistan pacer Naveen Ul Haq picked 2 wickets in the last game for 41 runs from his 4 overs. KL Rahul will want his ace bowler to come good again as he has good record in Lucknow. 

Harpreet Brar – Punjab Kings spinner Harpreet Brar has been the bowler on show for his side. The left-arm spinner was good with the ball in the game against RCB to raise hopes of a win. The surface in Lucknow will be favorable for the 28-year-old and Harpreet Brar will want to continue his good form.

LSG vs PBKS Risky Captaincy Choices

Quinton De Kock – South African star Quinton De Kock didn’t have a great start to IPL 2024 season. The left-handed batter could manage only four runs before he was out to Trent Boult. The veteran star hasn’t been in the greatest forms in recent times with the bat and picking him as the captain can be unsafe. 

Jonny Bairstow – The PBKS opener is known to be one of the most dangerous batters in the world. Jonny Bairstow is brutal against the pacer and uses his feet well against the spinners. 

Player you should avoid

Krunal Pandya – The 33-year-old hasn’t bowled well but couldn’t pick any wickets against the Royals. With the bat Krunal Pandya could only score two runs as he came very late to bat. His form coming into the IPL hasn’t been great and he knows he has to do well to keep his place in the team. 

Harshal Patel – Punjab Kings paid a lot of money to acquire the services of Harshal Patel. The pacer sadly seems out of form with the ball as he has been dominated by the batters. His once famous slower deliveries which troubled the batters is also nowhere to be seen.
