Cricreads Fantasy XI:

Ajinkya Rahane, Shikhar Dhawan (C), Liam Livingstone, Shreyas Iyer, Sam Billings, Sheldon Jackson (WK), Andre Russell, Odean Smith, Umesh Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Rahul Chahar

Predicted Star-Batter:

Shikhar Dhawan, the star in the three last tournaments with the bat, is our top pick of the batters. Dhawan did not significantly impact the first match, but he is a force to reckon with. The opener will be raring to make his mark in the game in KKR vs PBKS battle and win the game for his new franchise and become the frontrunner for Punjab in the ongoing tournament.

Predicted Star-Bowler:

Umesh Yadav, the man with the golden arm in the tournament, has already picked up 4 wickets in the tournament with a phenomenal economy of under 5 runs per over. Umesh is bowling fast and furiously in IPL 2022 and dismantling the top-order batters. He is our pick to take most wickets in KKR vs PBKS game and secure the purple cap for the time being.

Predicted Winner:

Punjab Kings is definitely the team to look out for in Tata IPL 2022 and is our pick to win the match against Kolkata Knight Riders.
