The 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) is in full swing and the teams are trying to find their feet against the oppositions. Match 11 of the ongoing mega-event will see Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) welcome the Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow. 

Both teams kicked off the tourney on contrasting tone as LSG suffered a defeat against Rajasthan Royals while the Punjab Kings defeated Delhi Capitals in their opening match at Mullanpur. However, the Shikhar Dhawan-led unit incurred a setback in their next game as Royal Challengers Bengaluru sealed the deal in the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. 

With both franchise looking to bounce back from their losses, let us have a quick look at the top player battles for the upcoming clash.

KL Rahul vs Kagiso Rabada

The skipper of LSG opened the batting in their first game, surprising aplenty after talks of his middle order role. He scored a fifty in the last game but failed to steer the side past the finishing line. 

Kagiso Rabada acts as a potential match-up to Rahul and it would be seen how the Karnataka-based star go about his business against the Proteas pacer who has already got him thrice in IPL despite leaking 1.38 runs per ball.

Devdutt Padikkal vs Arshdeep Singh

Another left-handed batter that Arshdeep Singh has troubled is Devdutt Padikkal. However, the Karnataka-based youngster has managed to score at the rate of 156.2 against the left-arm pacer in IPL. While Padikkal has attacked Arshdeep in the past, it was the bowler who had the last laugh.

Jonny Bairstow vs Ravi Bishnoi

The Englishman has had his woes against wrist spin in the past but Ravi Bishnoi is not someone who has dominated Bairstow. The Yorkshire man has scored 35 runs in just 20 balls against the wrist spinner, striking at the rate of 175. The swashbuckler was unlucky in the last game to get run out at the non-striker's end but will look to bounce back in the upcoming encounter.
