KKR vs PBKS: Top 5 Dream11 fantasy picks for match 12 of IPL 2026

The KKR vs PBKS match of the IPL 2026 will be played at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Another thrilling encounter is waiting for the fans to start the new week of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. The three-time winner, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), are scheduled to lock horns with Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Kolkata. This contest will begin at 7:30 PM IST on Monday at Eden Gardens.

KKR are searching for their maiden win after suffering two consecutive defeats. Ajinkya Rahane and co. have not been able to put on a complete show. But PBKS have been on point and will head into this contest with two consecutive wins.

This match will feature several T20 superstars, which will make this contest a worth-watching one. This game has the potential to do well on fantasy platforms if you can pick a good team.

Hence, we have suggested five players who could be a great choice for your Dream11 teams on various fantasy cricket platforms.

Top Dream11 fantasy picks for the KKR vs PBKS clash

1. Priyansh Arya

Priyansh Arya played a great cameo in the previous game and ended up winning the Man of the Match award by just playing 11 games, which included one dismissal delivery also.

The left-hander scored 39 runs with three fours and four sixes. That is the impact he is known for. Hence, you need him in your Dream11 team, because he can create havoc if he gets going.

2. Prabhsimran Singh

Prabhsimran Singh has started the IPL 2026 with two quality knocks. He scored 37 runs against GT and 43 runs against CSK. In both games, he set the tone for the run chases.

He is more consistent with the bat, and then he can also get extra points with the gloves. That is the reason Prabhsimran is a must-pick for your Dream11 team.

3. Shreyas Iyer

Shreyas Iyer is one of the most fearless batters going around. He played a blistering knock of 50 off 29 balls in the high-scoring chase against CSK. Iyer was the one that led KKR to the title in 2024 and was released later on.

Hence, he himself will be eager to get on the field and play a match-winning knock against his former side. Adding to that, his form is also pretty good with the bat.

4. Finn Allen

If you are a big fan of watching sixes and boundaries, then Finn Allen is the guy. The Kiwi opener is known for tearing apart the bowling unit, and he has played two incredible cameos so far.

It is just a matter of time when he produces a big knock. This can be the match, and if he can stay until the power play, he can earn high points on the fantasy platform.

5. Angkrish Raghuvanshi

Two matches and two half-centuries for Angkrish Raghuvanshi in the IPL 2026. The 21-year-old is in red-hot form. He has already proved himself with two great knocks.

He is looking comfortable on the crease and playing at a good strike rate with conventional cricket shots. He is currently the best batter for KKR and also their keeper. Hence, you should have him in your team.
