IPL 2025 PBKS vs RCB Match: Punjab Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Probable Playing XI
Punjab Kings Probable Playing XI: Priyansh Arya, Nehal Wadhera, Shreyas Iyer (c), Shashank Singh, Josh Inglis (wk), Marcus Stoinis, Marco Jansen, Harpreet Brar, Xavier Bartlett, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal
Royal Challengers Bengaluru Playing XI: Philip Salt, Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar (c), Jacob Bethell, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Tim David, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, Suyash Sharma, Yash Dayal
Players To Watch:
Tim David: As strange as it might sound, the Australian is currently RCB’s fourth-highest run-scorer, behind Virat Kohli, Phil Salt and Rajat Patidar. He played a blinder against PBKS on Friday, and it needs to be seen if RCB promote if ahead of Krunal Pandya, whose batting has been miserable this season.
Yuzvendra Chahal: The experienced spinner has picked eight wickets in seven matches and has been a tad bit expensive, but over the past three games, he has looked more lethal than ever. At PBKS’ home ground, he might have another happy hunting afternoon.
