KKR vs PBKS Dream11 Match Prediction Choices For Captain And Vice-Captain
Shreyas Iyer – Captain
Shreyas Iyer is the backbone of Punjab Kings’ batting lineup. With 263 runs in 8 matches, he has been consistent in providing stability and momentum in the middle overs. His strike rate of around 132 ensures he scores at a healthy pace without taking undue risks. Iyer’s ability to build innings and accelerate when needed makes him the ideal captaincy pick for fantasy teams.
Arshdeep Singh – Vice-captain
Arshdeep Singh is Punjab Kings’ leading wicket-taker with 11 wickets in 8 matches. Known for his accuracy and calm under pressure, Arshdeep excels in the death overs, often restricting runs and taking crucial wickets. His ability to bowl yorkers and slower balls makes him a constant threat.
