Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings will play the 38th match of IPL 2022 on Sunday. Punjab Kings have three wins in seven outings and nesting in the unfavorable half of the points tally, Punjab Kings are hurtling towards an awkwardly familiar territory of having to treat every remaining game as a must-win in order to secure their first playoffs berth in eight editions. On the other hand, the qualification hopes of the defending champions Chennai Super Kings is hanging by the barest of threads after just two wins in seven. This is a crucial match for both these teams and a loss here could virtually knock them out.
Here are 3 players you can avoid in your fantasy teams for the PBKS vs CSK game:
1. Shahrukh Khan
Shahrukh Khan has struggled throughout the season having scored only 98 runs in 7 matches so far this season at an average of 16. He also bats lower down the order and the fact that he is not in form makes him a very vulnerable aspect from a fantasy point of view. Hence it is better to avoid him for this match and look at other alternatives in the batting section.
2. Arshdeep Singh
He has bowled well in patches but overall has not been able to replicate his form from last season. In the 7 matches he has played so far Arshdeep has picked up only 2 wickets at an average of 92.5. This is very ordinary from someone who also bowls the death overs hence ignore him for this match.
3. Ambati Rayudu
He has scored 168 runs in 7 matches at an average of 28 so far in this season. His batting position is a bit of an issue as he might be demoted down the order incase of a good start by the openers and even if he gets in early like the previous match against Mumbai it is not sure if he can be banked upon to give big returns considering his form. Also there are multiple better alternatives in the batting section which makes it an easier choice to leave him out.
