Top three Dream11 captaincy picks for RCB vs PBKS, Match 34, IPL 2025
1. Phil Salt
Phil Salt has been RCB’s X-factor at the top. He has earned the most fantasy points from his team and has a total of 494 points with an average of 82.33 per match. Salt is coming off a Man of the Match performance against Rajasthan Royals.
He doesn’t need to bat for whole innings and just needs 6-7 overs to make an impact. His good form is another reason why he can be a good pick as a captain for the RCB vs PBKS Dream11 teams.
2. Shreyas Iyer
The PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer got out for a two-ball duck in the last game, but his overall form has been brilliant. He has earned 522 points this season, which is the most by any player in either sides.
Iyer is an attacking batter who will love batting at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The way he is batting right now, he can be a great option to have as Dream11 captain.
3. Virat Kohli
There are a few options to choose from, but if you want a safe option, then Virat Kohli is the one. He is another RCB batter who is scoring runs in almost every match. But he is yet to play a good knock at home games this season.
He himself will be eager to deliver an impactful knock in front of the home crowd. Kohli has earned 479 fantasy points so far, at an average of 78-79 per match. Hence, you can have him as captain of your fantasy cricket team.
