SRH vs PBKS Probable Best Performers
Probable best batter
Veteran Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan has been a vital cog for his side at the top of the order, and his 85 off 56 deliveries helped his side to a formidable total in the previous match. The Southpaw took his time at the crease initially but went through the gears in the middle overs to finish the innings with a flurry.
Probable best bowler
While Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh provided a brilliant start to Punjab’s bowling innings, it was Nathan Ellis’ guile and deception which broke the back of Rajsthan’s chase. The Aussie pacer was on the money from the get-go and ended with four wickets to his name, including that of the dangerous Sanju Samson.
