Punjab Kings also started their IPL 2023 campaign with a crucial win over Kolkata Knight Riders at home. Sri Lankan batter Bhanuka Rajapaksa smashed 50 off 32, and skipper Shikhar Dhawan scored 40 off 29 as the Kings posted 191/5 on the scoreboard. The Knight Riders were impressive in their chase and scored 146/7, but rain interrupted the game, and they fell seven runs short of the target on the DLS method.
Arshdeep Singh bowled a match-winning spell by taking three wickets for 19, but debutant Sam Curran struggled as he picked one wicket while conceding runs at 12.7 per over. Punjab's bowling will be boosted with star pacer Kagiso Rabada's availability, but they enter this game as the second favorite, having lost four of their last five encounters against Rajasthan Royals.

Player Picks
Sanju Samson RR | WK
Rajasthan Royals' skipper played a captain's knock by smashing 55 off 32 with three fours and four sixes against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last game. Samson scored 458 runs from 17 innings last season and will be a safe captaincy choice on the Dream11 Team.
Jos Buttler RR | WK
The star English batter won the Orange Cap last season for scoring 863 runs from 17 innings and has started this season by smashing 54 off just 22 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last game.
Yuzvendra Chahal RR | BOWL
The Indian leg-spinner bowled a match-winning spell against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last game by taking four wickets for 17. He was the leading wicket-taker last season with 27 wickets from 17 innings.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Shahrukh Khan
PBKS | BAT
The 27-year-old batter scored 11* off seven against Kolkata Knight Riders in the last game and has struggled for consistency across formats lately.
Riyan Parag
RR | BAT
The young spin all-rounder scored just seven off just six against the Sunrisers in the last game. Riyan also struggled with both bat and ball last season and should be avoided for the Dream11 Team selection.
