Top 3 captaincy picks for KKR vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction Today: IPL 2025 Match 44

The 44th match of IPL 2025, KKR vs PBKS, is scheduled to be played on Saturday evening in Kolkata.

The ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 has reached this stage where every game is important. Every game can make a big change in the points table. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), who entered the tournament with a hope to retain their title, are in a very bad situation.

They still have a slim chance to make it to the playoffs, but for that, they need to win their remaining games. KKR are scheduled to face Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the upcoming game, which will be played at the Eden Gardens on Saturday evening. PBKS are coming off a defeat, but before that they really enjoyed the form.

PBKS defended the lowest IPL total against KKR earlier this season, and it was a thrilling game. We might see another cracking contest here. Fans can use this game to do well on fantasy cricket platforms with good Dream11 teams. Especially a good captain who can earn double points.

For that, we’ve suggested three players who could be great choice to be picked as captain of Dream11 teams on various fantasy cricket platforms.

Top three Dream11 captaincy picks for KKR vs PBKS, Match 44, IPL 2025

1. Sunil Narine

Sunil Narine in the IPL is someone who should be in your Dream11 teams. At Eden Gardens, he is very good with the ball in his hand. He has been economical and picks up a couple of wickets usually.

Then, with the bat, he is someone who plays quick cameos and earns more points. Batting at the top, he earned a total of 623 points at an average of 89 points per match this season so far and can be a good pick as Dream11 captain.

2. Prabhsimran Singh

The PBKS opening duo has been brilliant this season. Prabhsimran Singh has played a major part in it. He has been aggressive and has focused on scoring more runs in the powerplay. Singh has made a major impact in the matches for PBKS at the top.

In the last four innings, he has earned 90, 70, 25, and 73 fantasy points. If he gets going, he can give a lot of points. Adding to that, he can also earn points with the gloves.

3. Ajinkya Rahane

It hasn’t been a tournament that KKR would have hoped for, but captain Ajinkya Rahane has been in great form. He is the top scorer for the team with 271 runs at an average and strike rate of 38.71 and 146.49 respectively.

Rahane has been doing well in almost every game, and captaincy has certainly helped him to get the best out of himself. His team needs a win, and we think Rahane also has a point to prove against Shreyas Iyer and his men. Rahane has earned 565 points so far at an average of 70-71 per match.
