- Riyan Parag: Riyan Parag has been in stunning form this season. In five games so far, he has scored three half-centuries including one in the last game. With form on his side, he will be eyeing another good outing.
Budget Picks for PBKS vs RR Fantasy Cricket Tips:
- Harshal Patel: Harshal Patel has been among wickets in IPL 2024. In five games so far, he has picked up six wickets. In the last outing against Sunrisers Hyderabad, the right-arm pacer took two wickets for 30 runs. He will be looking to make the most of his form.
- Kuldeep Sen: Playing his first game of the season in RR’s last clash against Gujarat Titans, Kuldeep Sen hit the ground running. He picked up three wickets in his first two overs to help RR claw their way back into the game after GT’s good start. The right-arm pacer will be eyeing another good show.
