Top players for PBKS vs SRH Dream 11 Match 

Top Players – Punjab Kings 

Shashank Singh – The hero from the last game, Shashank Singh has become the latest sensation in the IPL. The 32-year-old played a memorable knock against Gujarat Titans to help them win the final over. If PBKS have to make the top four this year, the middle-order has to be strong. This is where Shashank Singh needs to show his consistency with the bat. 

Shikhar Dhawan – IPL 2024 is seeing Shikhar Dhawan show his best form with the bat. The 38-year-old has been one of the best IPL batters and Dhawan has already played a few notable innings this year. The veteran Indian batter will hope to convert his start and make it count in the next few games of the s-eason. 

Top Players – Sunrisers Hyderabad 

Abhishek Sharma – 23-year-old batter Abhishek Sharma has emerged as the best young talents this year. His knock against CSK in the last game showed the immense amount of talent the 23-year-old has. Abhishek Sharma returns to familiar territory and will hope to keep his brisk batting continue to do the talking. 

Heinrich Klaasen – South African star Heinrich Klaasen has taken IPL 2024 by storm. His batting wasn’t needed during the game against CSK but this year Klaasen has been a revelation. His ease against spinners and pacers alike makes him one of the most dangerous batters in the world currently. 

PBKS vs SRH Must Picks for Dream 11 Cricket 

Sam Curran – After a great start to the IPL 2024 season, Sam Curran’s performances have taken a slight dip. PBKS fans will hope that the young English star re discovers his form soon and can make meaningful contributions with the bat and ball. 

Travis Head – Sunrisers Hyderabad have seen Travis Head deliver on the hype with the bat. The 30-year-old Australian has been giving SRH quick starts and has become a nightmare for the opening bowlers. Travis Head will be a handful once he gets going and could pose a huge threat to the PBKS bowlers. 

Suggested playing XI No.1 for PBKS vs SRH Dream11 Cricket Fantasy 

H Klaasen, J Bairstow, S Dhawan (C), T Head, A Sharma, P Singh, S Singh, S Curran, K Rabada, P Cummins (VC), and A Singh 

Suggested playing XI No.2 for PBKS vs SRH Dream11 Cricket Fantasy 

H Klaasen (C), J Bairstow, J Sharma, S Dhawan, T Head, A Sharma (VC), P Singh, S Singh, S Curran, P Cummins, and K Rabada 

PBKS vs SRH Risky Captaincy Choices 

Harpreet Brar – Left-arm spinner Harpreet Brar has been one of the best spinners in the league. His ability to pick wickets and also maintain a good economy rate makes him a dangerous bowler in the T20 format. 

Shahbaz Ahmed – Since making his move to Sunrisers Hyderabad, the left-arm spinner has been getting regular game time. The 29-year-old began well with the bat but his performances has fizzled out a bit in the last few games. 

Players you should avoid 

Harshal Patel- Just a few seasons ago, Harshal Patel was touted as the best T20 bowler in India. The 33-year-old this season has been a pale shadow of his former self and has been one of the most expensive bowlers in the league. 

Mayank Markande – Yet another bowler who is struggling to be consistent is Mayank Markande. The 26-year-old has picked just three wickets from the four games this year and has conceded 145 runs.
