Punjab Kings Playing 11 vs RCB- IPL 2025, Match 34:
Openers: Prabhsimran Singh (wk) and Priyansh Arya
Prabhsimran Singh will open the innings for Punjab Kings along with Priyansh Arya. Prabhsimran was the standout batter for the team in a low-scoring thriller against KKR as the right-hander played a valuable innings of 30 runs at a good strike rate
Priyansh started the tournament with a quick-fire innings against GT and followed it up with his maiden IPL century against the former champions CSK. The 24-year-old batter has made a reputation for playing with an aggressive intent in the first six overs
Both openers will look to rectify the mistakes of the last match against KKR and would like to provide a solid start to Punjab Kings against RCB.
It will be interesting to see whether the openers are able to continue the attacking approach that they have played with in the tournament so far.
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Shreyas Iyer (c), Josh Inglis, Nehal Wadhera, Glenn Maxwell, Shashank Singh, Suryansh Shedge, Marco Jansen
Punjab Kings would be concerned by the performance of their middle-order batters, which include the likes of captain Shreyas Iyer, Nehal Wadhera, Glenn Maxwell, and Shashank, all of whom were playing in an ultra-aggressive manner and were looking to hit every ball out of the ground
Shreyas Iyer, in particular, would be disappointed with his performances in the last match as the right-hander played a nothing shot and was caught in the deep. Iyer would like to get back among the runs in the upcoming match against RCB
The Shreyas Iyer-led side would like to replicate the batting performance they displayed against SRH to get back the confidence they showed in the initial few matches
Bowlers: Arshdeep Singh, Xavier Bartlett, Yuzvendra Chahal
PBKS will hope for their bowlers to continue the excellent work they did by defending the lowest ever total in the history of IPL, courtesy of a game-changing spell from experienced leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, who turned the game on its head single-handedly for Punjab by picking up four wickets
Chahal was well supported by Marco Jansen, Xavier Bartlett, and Arshdeep Singh, all of whom chipped in with wickets at crucial moments in the match, thereby not giving the defending champions any chance of coming back into the game
Punjab would be elated by the way the fast bowling trio of Marco Jansen, Xavier Bartlett, and Arshdeep Singh performed in the last match, as there were questions on the team's fast bowling department after a string of unimpressive outings
The win against KKR was a huge upgrade from the way the bowlers bowled against SRH, as Arshdeep and co were unable to defend a total of 245 runs, which might have been a huge setback for PBKS
