Match Analysis :   

In another pulsating encounter of VIVO IPL 2021, Punjab Kings will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmadabad. Punjab Kings will have to play out of their skins to get their stuttering campaign back on track when they face a high flying Royal Challengers Bangalore. Punjab are currently placed sixth in the league table with four points, whereas RCB are second with 10 points from five wins, only behind Chennai Super Kings on net run rate.

Royal Challengers Bangalore in their previous game, they beat Rishabh Pant’s Delhi Capitals in a nail biting match by one run at the same venue. Whereas, Punjab Kings in their last game, they went down to the Kolkata Knight Riders by five wickets.

AB de Villiers has been the talk of the town, with the South African coming up with a sensational fifty in the previous game against the Delhi Capitals. With their bowling finally impressing this season, the RCB look set for a playoff berth in IPL 2021. But they will need the duo of Virat Kohli and Yuzvendra Chahal to deliver sooner rather than later with bat and ball, respectively. The duo are yet to hit the ground running in IPL 2021.

KL Rahul was at a loss for words as he tried to find reasons for a profoundly tame performance by his team in their last game. How does a T20 line-up with so many hitters - Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran, Mayank Agarwal, Deepak Hooda and Rahul himself - slip and stumble and careen to 123 for 9 against a team that was bottom of the table? Punjab Kings' problem of putting together consistent performances - an issue they had struggled against even before their name change - seems to have cropped up again.

Expected 11 : 

Punjab Kings : KL Rahul (c & wk), Mayank Agarwal, Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran, Deepak Hooda, Shahrukh Khan, Jhye Richardson/Fabian Allen, Chris Jordan, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh

Royal Challengers Bangalore : Virat Kohli (c), Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar, AB de Villiers (wk), Glenn Maxwell, Daniel Sams, Washington Sundar, Harshal Patel, Kyle Jamieson, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal

Top Picks for Fantasy 11 :

Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Devdutt Padikkal, AB de Villiers, Mayank Agarwal , Deepak Hooda, Glenn Maxwell, Chris Jordan, Arshdeep Singh, Harshal Patel, Kyle Jamieson

Top pick for Captain/ Vice Captain  : 

Captain - KL Rahul, Ab de Villiers, Devdutt Padikkal

Vice Captain - Mayank Agarwal, Deepak Hooda, Glenn Maxwell

• Yuzvendra Chahal has the second-worst strike rate (38) and the worst economy rate (8.2) out of all spinners with a minimum of 15 overs bowled.
