IPL 2023: Match 8, Punjab Kings (PBKS) Predicted Playing XI vs Rajasthan Royals
Rajasthan Royals will lock horns with Punjab Kings on April 5 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium.
All-rounders: Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran
Liam Livingstone is one of those players who have made heads turn every time he has stepped onto the cricket field. He has decimated bowlers with his power-hitting might and turned the course of the game in a matter of few deliveries. Also, the 29-year-old is a wily customer with the ball and has chipped in with crucial wickets.
Livingstone was phenomenal with the bat in the 15th edition of the lucrative T20 tournament and plundered 437 runs in 14 matches for Punjab Kings at a stunning strike rate of 182.08. Further, he took six scalps in those outings. The ace all-rounder would look to replicate his last season’s form in IPL 2023.
Besides Livingstone, PBKS will have Sam Curran in their ranks. Curran can act as a floater in the middle order and provide vital contributions with the bat. On the bowling front, he has troubled batters with his swing in the powerplay and has also been impeccable at the death, stemming the flow of runs.
