Shreyas Iyer
When picking a Dream 11 team around Punjab Kings, Shreyas Iyer should be one of the first names on the team sheet as the Punjab Kings skipper is in excellent form scoring 250 runs at an average of 50 runs in 5 matches with a strike rate of more than 200.
Priyansh Arya
Priyansh Arya is quickly earning a name for himself as one of the most exciting prospects in the IPL thanks to his six hitting ability and consistent performances. His century against CSK is one of the most flamboyant centuries in IPL, hence he is a must have.
Varun Chakravarthy
Varun Chakravarthy has raked up 8 wickets in the IPL so far and is one of the deadliest bowlers in the league. His performance usually dictates how well KKR fare in a match hence he is a must have in your Dream 11 side.
Ajinkya Rahane
Skipper Ajinkya Rahane has been in good knick for KKR and is the side’s leading run scorer this year so far. His performance has been wonderful and consistent with the bat hence he is also a crucial pick for your Dream 11 side.
The Punjab Kings batter Nehal Wadhera has been very consistent in his performances for the new outfit and is also averaging 47 runs per game. He has the six hitting ability and could once again be a solid pick in a Dream 11 side.
Shashank Singh is another one of Punjab’s batters who provides a power packed finish to an innings. He has an excellent and explosive boundary hitting style. With 109 runs already he could be a great cheap addition to the side.
While, Andre Russel given his history in IPL is certainly an instant pick for many making their Dream 11 side, however, this year he has been a shadow of himself. Andre Russell has only picked up 5 wickets and has only scored 7 runs this IPL campaign. Hence, he can be a risky pick.
While, Marco Jansen has had a few decent performances to his name for the Punjab Kings, he hasn’t really picked up many wickets and is also conceding at an astonishing economy of above 11 runs an over. He bats lower down the order for Punjab so can be a risky pick in the side.
