PBKS vs MI Dream11 Team Prediction: KL Rahul evoked a poignant sense during the post-match interview against Sunrisers Hyderabad. His team has been forced to bite the dust, completely outplayed in some games. The 29-year-old said that there’s no room for making an error now, that he and his teammates are now hard-pressed to come good. Too many players seem out of form at the moment, including Mohammed Shami. Now the next game is against the reigning champions Mumbai Indians. Rahul’s task couldn’t have been harder, but the roster is more than capable of taking on any team, let alone the defending champions who are also fluttering, not without their own issues. Here, in PBKS vs MI IPL 2021 match, we name three players who could turn red-hot and come up with a game-winning performance.
1. Nicholas Pooran: Must still be seething following a disastrous run-out against Sunrisers Hyderabad. It seems it never rains but pours for Punjab Kings. The team is in absolute turmoil and so has been Nicholas Pooran. The West Indian is yet to make his mark in IPL 2021, but we know how good Pooran is. Nicholas Pooran IPL Record: Matches: 25 Not Outs: 04 Runs: 530 High Score: 77 Average: 26.50 100s: 00 50s: 02 4s: 34 6s: 39
2. Ishan Kishan: The 22-year-old has managed only 67 runs in four league games in IPL 2021, which is not even a shadow of a reflection of what the 22-year-old can do. He is an Indian international now and has more responsibility as a batsman. He has to start turning up if MI are to defend their title. Ishan Kishan IPL Record: Matches: 55 Not Outs: 04 Runs: 1278 High Score: 99 Average: 27.78 100s: 00 50s: 07 4s: 103 6s: 66
3. Mohammed Shami: Went invisible against Sunrisers Hyderabad once again when his team needed him. There’s no indication of why that’s the case, but the 30-year-old has a record to back up and remains PBKS’ most potent bowler. Mohammed Shami IPL Record: Matches: 69 Balls Bowled: 1438 Runs Given: 2130 Wickets: 64 Best Figures: 3/15 Average: 33.28 Economy: 8.88 Strike-Rate: 22.46
