  4. Shikhar Dhawan (PBKS): PBKS captain Shikhar Dhawan missed the last match but is expected to return for this contest. The left-handed batter is the leading run-scorer for his side, with 233 runs in just four innings at a staggering average of 116.50 and two fifties.
  5. Kagiso Rabada (PBKS): Speedster Kagiso Rabada has snared three scalps in two matches this season. He was also the leading wicket-taker for the Punjab-based franchise last season, with 23 wickets in 13 games.
