Top 3 captaincy picks for PBKS vs KKR Dream11 Prediction Today: IPL 2025 Match 31

The 31st match of IPL 2025, PBKS vs KKR, is scheduled to be played on Tuesday evening in Chandigarh.

The defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have had a mixed performance in the first two weeks of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. They have played six matches and have three wins and three defeats. Similarly, Punjab Kings (PBKS) also have three wins and six points on the board.

The only difference between these sides is that PBKS have played one game less than KKR. These two sides are scheduled to face each other on Tuesday evening at the Maharaja Yadavindra International Stadium in Chandigarh.

This venue has produced two thrilling games already, and we might see another one on Tuesday. This game also gives fans a chance to do well on fantasy cricket platforms with a good Dream11 team. Most importantly, a good captain can earn double points and make the difference.

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 KKR Match 31, IPL 2025

1. Sunil Narine

There are very few performances where a player has earned over 200 fantasy points in a single game. That’s what Sunil Narine did against CSK and earned 224 points. He has earned a total of 486 points with an average of almost 100 per match.

That’s what you need from your Dream11 captain. He bowls economically, takes wickets, smashes sixes, and scores runs. He is a safe pick as captain for PBKS vs KKR match.

2. Shreyas Iyer

The PBKS captain, Shreyas Iyer, is in the form of his life. His confidence is at its peak, and he is scoring runs match after match. He has 512 points with an average of 102-103 per match, which is the most among players from both sides. He is among the top scorers in the IPL 2025.

But this is not it. Shreyas has a point to prove to KKR, whom he led to the title in 2024, and they released him in return. That is why we believe that he will be eager to perform in the game and beat KKR.

3. Ajinkya Rahane

The KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane has featured in Dream11 teams in five out of the six matches he has played. He is the leading scorer for KKR and has been in superb form since getting the captaincy. Be it batting first or second, Rahane has scored runs in all conditions.

He has earned a total of 444 fantasy points with an average of 83.33. Rahane knows that a defeat will put KKR down the table, and he will himself want to lead the team to a win. Hence, he might be another great choice to have as Dream11 captain.
