The 58th match of IPL 2025, PBKS vs DC, is scheduled to be played on Thursday evening in Dharamsala.

Punjab Kings (PBKS) are eyeing a place in the playoffs for the first time since 2014. Shreyas Iyer has led the team brilliantly, and it has worked well for them. They are just one win away from making it to the next round. PBKS are set to face Delhi Capitals (DC) in their next match.

Both teams will be in action on Thursday at 7:30 PM at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala. DC will also be looking for a victory in this match. They earned one point from the last game against Sunrisers Hyderabad, which took them to 13 points. They need this win to stay ahead in the race.

Both sides have some of the biggest names in this format. That makes this clash a worth-watching one. You can also do well on fantasy platforms in this game. A good pick as captain can help earn more 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 PBKS vs DC, Match 58, IPL 2025

1. Prabhsimran Singh

Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya are unstoppable. He has been in great form with the bat and has earned over 100 fantasy points in the last three matches. He is smart and has a mature mind.

Unlike Arya, who goes ahead from the first ball itself, Prabhsimran makes sure he understands the surface and then gets going on it. He has earned 748 points, at an average of 74.8 per match. Apart from the bat, he can also earn points with the gloves.

2. Axar Patel

The DC captain has been in good nick this season. There was never a doubt about his T20 bowling, but as a captain, he has taken more responsibility with the bat, which has worked well for him and the team.

He is someone who can earn points in all three departments. With his team needing a win here, one can expect him to do well. He has earned 758 fantasy points at an average of 75.8. Axar Patel is a safe and good option as captain for the PBKS vs DC game.

3. Shreyas Iyer

Iyer has improved his batting against pace, which has benefited him. He has earned 772 points at an average of 77.2 per match, which is the most among players from both teams. Given his form and approach this season, he could be a good choice as captain.
