Atharva Taide to Replace Prabhsimran Singh

Prabhsimran Singh has been in really poor form this season, he has scored 119 runs at an average of 17 this season. Atharva Taide is a left-handed top-order batter who has a strike rate of 142 in his IPL career.

Shashank Singh is the highest run scorer of PBKS this year with 187 runs in 7 innings, averaging 62 and striking at 179.

Ashutosh Sharma Continues to Shine

Ashutosh smashed 61 runs off 28 balls against MI while coming out to bat when the score was 77 for 6, he took PBKS very close in the run chase when he got out the team’s score was 168 runs for 8 wickets.

Ashutosh has a strike rate of 205 this season, averaging 52 and he has scored 156 runs for his team.

Shikhar Dhawan is Still not Available

PBKS skipper Shikhar has suffered a shoulder injury due to which he is missing the matches for PBKS, in his absence Sam Curran is leading the side but PBKS is surely missing the services of Shikhar Dhawan the Batter.

Except for Shashank and Ashutosh, no other batter of PBKS has performed well for the team, they will need the likes of Livingstone and Curran to do better with the bat.
