PBKS vs DC – Top Fantasy Picks
Shikhar Dhawan – The southpaw has started the 2021 season right from where he left the 2020 edition. He has scored 40+ runs in three of his last five games, which includes a sublime knock of 92 runs against this very opponent, Punjab Kings. Dhawan will be a key contender for the fantasy gamers.
Axar Patel – The all-rounder from Gujarat has got off to a brilliant start, as he has picked up at least one wicket in all the matches he has played in this season. He picked up 2 wickets in the last game. He will be a good option for the fantasy picks.
Ravi Bishnoi – The young leg-spinner is proving why it was a mistake to bench him in the first few games. He has picked up 4 wickets in his three IPL 2021 matches and has conceded less than 25 runs in all of those games.
