After playing half of their matches, Punjab Kings finally seem to have the right balance in their XI-member squad. They benched Odean Smith to let Bairstow and Rajapaksa bat, and it’s worth doing so, as his bowling hole is being greatly filled by Rishi Dhawan. And with Arshdeep and Kagiso Rabada at the end, PBKS’s death over tragedy too seems to end.
And with batting, PBKS is having one of the destructive batting line-ups this season. With anchors like Shikhar Dhawan at one end, they’re playing Liam Livingstone, Johnny Bairstow, and Bhanuka Rajapaksa to smash every big bowler in IPL 2022. Although, having their skipper back to form will help a bit.
Rajasthan Royals on the other end had a very good start to this season. They have Jos Buttler carrying the whole batting burden, while pacers like Prasidh and Kuldeep and spinners like Ashwin and Chahal handle the bowling. Yet, they failed in a few matches, and it was mostly because of poor planning of spells and fielding. Hoping these would change in tonight’s match, here’s who’s going to play;
