GT vs PBKS, Match 5: Key Players

Shreyas Iyer: Punjab Kings skipper Shreyas Iyer is currently looking in great touch and finished as the second-highest run getter in the recently ended Champions Trophy. He will be a key player in PBKS’ middle order along with other star batters like Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell and Shashanka Singh.

Yuzvendra Chahal: Leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is likely to make an impact in his first-ever game for PBKS. The leading wicket taker of the IPL could play a crucial role in the middle-overs and can turn the match around once the pitch gets slow.

Jos Buttler: GT’s newest addition Jos Buttler would love to bat at the Narendra Modi Stadium and will look to play a big knock in his first game for PBKS. He could make a dangerous opening pair with skipper Shubman Gill and will be player to look out for GT this year.

Rashid Khan: Rashid Khan has been a constant performer for GT in the last few years. He could play as a spearhead spinner and could also show some big hits as a handy batter.
