PBKS vs RR Match Preview
Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals will go head to head against each other in the 27th match of the IPL 2024. The match is scheduled to take place at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium in Chandigarh on 13th April 2024.
PBKS lost the last match by just 2 runs against SRH and they have dropped to the lower berth of the points table with just 2 wins in 5 matches. Losing the last game by a narrow margin, PBKS will try to win this match at home ground and climb up the table.
RR faced their first defeat of the season in the last match against GT. With 4 wins in 5 matches they are still at the top of the points table and look strong enough to make it to the playoffs this season if they stay in the momentum.
Let’s take a look at the dream11 team prediction as PBKS and RR face each other in the IPL 2024.

Top Batsman Picks – PBKS vs RR Dream11
- Sanju Samson – RR skipper Samson has scored 246 runs so far at a strike rate of 156.69. He looks in top form and he has been part of all the dream teams so far. In the last match he scored 109 fantasy points.
- Jos Buttler – Buttler is on and off form this season. After a brilliant match-winning century against RCB he failed to perform in the next match against GT. Buttler has scored 143 runs so far at a strike rate of 131.19 and we expect him to go big on this batting track.
- Shashank Singh – Shashank Singh is making a name for himself this season. He is playing the role of a finisher and looks quite confident in that role. He has scored 137 runs in 5 matches at an aggressive strike rate of 195.71.
Top Bowler Picks – PBKS vs RR Dream11
- Trent Boult – Boult is the leading pacer for the RR side. He has picked 5 wickets in 5 matches and looks a little out of touch but we expect some wickets from him in this match. He has a strike rate of 19.2.
- Yuzvendra Chahal – Chahal has a habit of leading the purple cap list and he is doing it again. With 10 wickets in 5 matches, Chahal is the leading wicket taker of the season. He is bowling at an impressive average of 13.20.
- Arshdeep Singh – Arshdeep is the leading the wicket taker list for PBKS with 8 wickets in 5 matches after his 4-wicket haul in the last match. He is bowling at a strike rate of 13.7. In the last match he scored 112 fantasy points.
Top Picks for Captain and Vice Captain – PBKS vs RR Dream11
- Dream11 Captain Options – Jos Buttler, Shikhar Dhawan
- Dream11 Vice Captain Options – Sam Curran, Riyan Parag
Players To Avoid – PBKS vs RR Dream11
- Dhruv Jurel – Dhruv has not been performing up to the mark this season. He has scored 42 runs in 5 matches and looks low on confidence to go for a big knock.
- Ravichandran Ashwin – Ashwin scored 2 and 6 fantasy points in the last 2 games. In 5 matches he has scored 45 runs and picked just 1 wicket so far. We are not expecting a big performance from him in the next match and keeping him out of the fantasy teams for this match.
